Following is a review of the network elements for VoIP service

1. VoIP

2. Key terms about VoIP
 H.323
 SIP
 CODECs

G.711

G.729

G.723
 FXS and FXO
 Gateway
 T.38 FAX
These are what
everyone talks about

3. What is VoIP…the technology
Analog or
Digital voice
circuit
VoIP
Gateway
IP Packets with Voice Samples
VoIP
Gateway
Analog or
Digital voice
circuit
IP Network
Internet
• 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).
• These samples are placed into an IP packet and sent over the
network.
• A far-end device reassembles the voice stream on the other
side.

4. Typical VoIP System Elements
Softswitch
• Gatekeeper
• Call-Manager
• Softswitch
• Network-Server
• Client Registration
• Authentication
• Status
• Number Mapping
• Accounting
Terminals
PSTN
IP Phone
IP Network
Gateways
• PSTN, ISDN
• V5, SS7
Multimedia PC
• User Interaction
• Dial-tone, Ringtone, etc
• Registers with Call Control
• Media Conversion
• Network Interworking
• Signaling Conversion
• Media Conversion
• Packetization and reassembly
• ISDN, PSTN, V 5.2, SS7

Comments
For Reference: mobile phones
Recommend G.711 if no bandwidth limitations apply!
 Toll Quality
 Low Delay
 Best all around!

6. Fax over IP: watch out for this
1) Fax Relay, T.38
2) Fax Bypass, G.711
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.
T.30 Fax
A/D
+ Is interoperability with any gateway
- Uses more bandwidth
- Is less reliability
Fax-Relay, T.38 packets

Fax Bypass, T.30 Fax over G.711, 96Kb

7. Signalling Standards Snapshot
 Signaling protocols defines how VoIP equipment communicate to actually
set-up, establish and release telephone calls over IP networks. For
example – Ring, Talk and Hang-up.
 H.323
 The oldest and most widely supported call control protocol.


Current Version is v4 (we support it now!)
Is actively enhanced by the international standards community
 Offers the most interoperability between 3rd party equipment.
 Business focused
 SIP
 The newest of the call control protocols


IETF (Internet based); looks like html; most extendable
Messaging for all types of user devices (phones, PC, GSM)
 Carrier/CLEC focus
 We support it today!
 MGCP
 Oriented towards softswitch carrier architectures

Focuses on the central site over CPE
 Supported in SmartNodes today!

8. VoIP Terms Defined (1)
 Softswitch
Call control and route server in a VoIP network providing user AAA
services and intra-network call switching. This is Independent of the VoIP
protocol (H.323, MGCP, SIP).
 Gatekeeper (GK)
H.323 specific term. The GK is responsible for the management of the
users (clients) and gateways in his H.323 area (zone). Implemented as
software on a server or integrated as a function in a Gateway.
 Gateway (GW) (This is what SmartNodes do!)
Signaling or Media-Gateway (may be combined in one equipment)
provides conversion between different networks-protocols or technologies.
 H.323 Client
Terminal in an H.323 network. IP-Phone or Soft-Phone (e.g. NetMeeting).
 AAA
User Authentication, Authorization, Accounting. Required functions for a
commercial VoIP Service. Carrier centric and provided by Gatekeeper.

9. VoIP Terms Defined (2)
 RAS
Registration Authentication Status: H.323 Sub-protocol used to register “log-in” an
H.323 Gateway or Client at the Gatekeeper
 SIP User Agent
SIP Equipment or software representing an end-user. The user agent includes a a
SIP client (to initiate calls) and SIP server (to terminate calls). This is “inside” a
SmartNode gateway.
 SIP Network Server
SIP Equipment or software in the network required to register and localize User
Agents and their end-users. A SIP Network Server can operate in redirect or proxy
mode. This is a server box routing calls.

10. Telephony Terms
THESE YOU HAVE TO KNOW!
BRI, S0, S/T
2 B + 1 D channel > 2 voice connections
E1, PRI, S2m 30 B + 1 D channel > 30 voice connections
T1, PRI
23 B + 1 D channel > 23 voice connections

11. Building Blocks for QoS (2)
For Example: Traffic Shaping
 A Shaper can limit a Traffic Class to a defined bandwidth
 Frees Bandwidth for real-time (voice) traffic without packet loss
 Improves the Performance of interactive Applications
 Very usefull for short connections e.g Web requests
Bandwidth

12. Smart combination of QoS and VoIP
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
• Optimal bandwidth usage and control

37. Enterprise Opportunity Analysis
Check if it is a SmartNode Opportunity?
Condition
Multiple PBXs at different sites
Remote
Offices without
PBX
Home Office
Access to
central PBX
Requirement
The sites are already connected to the Internet with sufficient bandwidth (50 to 100k per voice connection), or a
connection can be established easily. (e.g. Leased Lines, DSL, Cable Modem, Laserlink, WiFi etc.)
Environment
The PBXs are not networked. Calls
between sites go through the PSTN
The PBXs are already
networked using QSIG
SmartNode Solution: toll
bypass over IP. Save on
the monthly telefone bill.
SmartNode Solution:
QSIG networking over
IP. Save the cost of
dedicated leased lines.
Solution
SmartNode Solution :
remote sites are served
as IP extensions of the
central PBX.
