What is VoIP
Basically
Voice over IP (VoIP) chops-up your voice into small chunks
Sends these small chunks as packets over the Internet (IP).
The far-end plays back the IP packets back into voice.

Some general notes
VoIP is a widely standardized and well understood technology
available for more than 10 years.
The quality of VoIP depends on the compression method
(CODEC) and the network conditions.
It ranges from ISDN toll quality to Cell Phone (or worse)
VoIP is past the technology hype today
VoIP is now widely interoperable
What is VoIPthe technology

1. Voice over IP (VoIP) samples 10 60ms of voice with an
Analog-to-Digital conversion process (CODEC). This is similar
to the way the phone company does it today with PCM (Voice
over T1/E1).
2. These samples are placed into an IP packet and sent over the
network.
3. A far-end device reassembles the voice stream on the other
side.

The CODEC: Why is it important?
CODEC - Compression Decompression: Algorithm used to
compress digitized voice to use less network bandwidth. E.g.
G.729, G.723
The CODEC
Directly determines the bandwidth required
Ranges from 16 to 100 kbs per call
Partially determines the quality of the phone call
Ranges from Toll Quality to Cell phone/GSM quality

The lowest bandwidth isnt always the best choice
The sound quality is just part of what makes a call sound
good Network delay and packet loss play a key part in the
voice quality you experience
The more you compress (lower bandwidth) the longer it takes

T.30 Fax T.30 Fax
The Fax tones are terminated in the
gateway, relayed in packet form and
re-modulated at the far end.
+ Uses less bandwidth
+ Is reliability(offers redundancy)
- Is less interoperable
The Fax is carried in a G.711 voice
channel just like a regular phone call.

+ Is interoperability with any gateway
- Uses more bandwidth
- Is less reliability
Signalling Standards Snapshot
Signaling protocols defines how VoIP equipment communicate to
set-up and release telephone calls over IP networks.
For example Ring, Talk and Hang-up.
H.323
The first multimedia over IP protocol
Peer-to-peer, defined by the ITU, current Version is v4
Offers high interoperability between 3
rd
party equipment.
SIP
The newest of the VoIP call control protocols
Peer-to-peer, defined by IETF, looks like html, most extendable
Supported in SmartWare since Release 3.00
MGCP
Master-Slave protocol for centralized Softswitch Carrier architectures
Various forms NCS (Cable), H.248, Megaco
MGCP/IUA is supported in SmartWare for BRI Interfaces

overprovisioning
In the Access and WAN Bandwidt is expensive and must be used
optimally

major contribution to end-to-end delay.
QoS and VoIP: What's the Problem (1)
QoS and VoIP: What's the Problem (2)
Packet Loss through Queue overflow
Access Link
LAN Backbone
All network equipment has limited queues
Data traffic (TCP) will always try to get maximum throughput
Queues should be short for real-time (voice) traffic
Packet loss is NOT critical for Data (TCP) traffic
Example Measurement with one VoIP call and a FTP download
over a best-effort 500k Link.
QoS und VoIP: Whats the Problem (3)
About 25% of the voice packets are lost at the access to the
Bottleneck!

Where is the Problem
Solution
How does it Work
FAQ
Problem
The Internet and many large IP networks only
support best effort packet forwarding.
There is no differentiation between time critical IP
packets such as VoIP and other traffic such as web
pages mail etc.
If an overload situation occurs (at the network
bottleneck) VoIP and other packets are discarded
with the same probability.
This leads to a degradation in voice quality while
other traffic is simply retransmitted and the user
just experiences a slow-down

Access Link
Internet
Web
Server
VoIP
Edge Router
CPE
Solution
The network bottleneck is in most cases the subscriber
access line DSL, Cable etc of ~< 2 Mb/s
Both LANs (10/100 Ethernet) and Backbone Networks
(Fibre, SDH or ATM) are much Faster
In case of congestion packets are discarded at the
Edge router of the Internet access provider (see
previous slide)
SmartNode DownStreamQoS introduces a dynamic
virtual bottleneck at the customer premises that starts
to discard non-realtime traffic before it starts to block
the voice traffic in the edge router
Virtual Bottleneck
Internet
Web
Server
VoIP
Edge Router
How Does it Work
Most Data traffic (~80%) is sent using the TCP
protocol.
TCP continuously increases the used bandwidth
(slow-start) until the maximum throughput is
reached and packets are dropped (not
acknowledged by remote end)
A separate queue for TCP makes it possible to delay
and if required discard traffic before the access link
is full
The traffic management (scheduler) for this queue
is adapted dynamically based on the bandwidth
required for voice calls
The integration of QoS Router and VoIP Gateway makes things
much easier
Traffic Classes are defined at network interfaces
No tagging necessary for point-to-point links

The Elevator StoryTelephony over IP
The SmartNode ToIP products allow you
...to deploy telephony services over any
IP network including the Internet

... make VoIP technology transparent to
the end-user in terms of voice quality
and usability.

... enable users of Pattons ToIP to
save costs and grow services while being
flexible and cost effective.
What is Telephony over IP?
ToIP takes Voice over IP and makes it useful by
providing transparent and low-cost telephony.

Telephony over IP provides incentives for End-Users, Network
Administrators and Service Providers. For instance
End-Users can reduce their long-distance and international phone
bills without changing their calling behavior
Network administrators can reduce their infrastructure costs by
converging Telephony and Data services in a single network
Service providers can add lucrative telephony services to their
offering without building up a separate network
Providing an easy to use and install Telephony service using
VoIP technology requires.
