INTRODUCTION
Voice over IP (VoIP), or IP telephony, is one of the services of
the IP world that is changing the entire telecommunication’s
landscape. It is a real-time service, which enables users to make
phone calls through data networks that use an IP protocol. An
IP telephony connection consists of two phases, in which
certain types of traffic are exchanged between the calling
parties (Rosenberg, Schulzrinne, Camarillo, Johnston, 2002).
Signaling phase: in this phase signaling protocol messages, e.g.
SIP messages (Session Initiation Protocol), are exchanged
between the caller and called. These messages are intended to
setup and negotiate the connection parameters between the
calling parties (Schulzrinne, Casner, Frederick, Jacobson,
2003).
Conversation phase: if the previous phase is successful then the
conversation takes place, in the form of two audio streams
which are sent bidirectional. RTP (Real-Time Transport
Protocol) is most often utilized, for voice data transport, thus
packets that carry voice payload are called RTP pack. The
consecutive RTP packets form an RTP stream (Schulzrinne,
Casner, Frederick, Jacobson, 2003).
The motivation behind this one is to depict in point of interest
the outline and usage of a voice-over-IP (VOIP) soft-phone. The
outline of VOIP soft phone is in 2 principle parts. Part I covers
the configuration and usage of the business standard system
conventions and part 2 cover application rationale that can be
used to execute VOIP (Khasnabish, Bhumip, 2003).
To actualize the framework, a Nios II processor on the Altera
FPGA is utilized. In the top layer, we have the VOIP
application, including the system conventions and
implementation rationale. By framework programming layer,
which gives a C domain, a BSD attachments API for the system

correspondence (through the TCP/IP stack), a little working
framework for threading and synchronization, and drivers that
digest away the equipment points of interest. At the least level,
we have equipment peripherals, executed on the FPGA, to drive
the different human interface and correspondences segments
recorded previously (Khasnabish, Bhumip, 2003).
In this I am going to explain about a new steganography method
for voice over IP telephony named Transcoding Steganography.
Usually to convert the data and to limit the size of the data
being used to communicate for all these the steganographic
communication is advised. The main innovation in this is voice
stream and the code generated to the stream to generate the
similar voice. Because of the newly generated voice code the
size of voice stream is purposefully unchanged. So a free space
is created and is stored with secrete records, this is called
TranSteg. The TranSteg confirmation of idea usage was
composed and created. The got exploratory results will be
talked about in the following part (Khasnabish, Bhumip, 2003).
Action Research Methodology
Action research approach is result situated in that it plans to
enhance the techniques utilized as a part of education,
sociology, group, and different settings. Additional it focuses
on participatory exploration, calls for knowledge, reflection,
and individual association with the theme under study.
Moreover, the entire human population specifically included
with the issue or circumstance being explored leads it in certain
settings. Specialists who participate in action research observe
it as an engaging knowledge (Smith, 2007). The reason behind
this is that action research has this beneficial outcome for some
reasons. Clearly, the most essential is that action research is
consistently pertinent to the members. The significance of
action research is ensured because the respective researchers,
who are likewise the essential consumers of the discoveries,
dictate the center of every exploration undertaking.

Figure 1: The Action Research Process (Guidelines for Planning
Action Research Projects. (2016))
Reasons for Approach
Action research is used at the point when instructors make an
individual responsibility to gather information on their work
methodically; they are setting out on a procedure that will
encourage persistent development and improvement. When
every lesson looked upon as an exact examination concerning
components influencing educating and learning and when
reflections, action research comes in handy (Hearn, Tacchi,
Foth & Lennie, 2009). With this said, the discoveries from
every day's worth of effort illuminate the following day's
direction, educators cannot resist the urge of creating a more
prominent dominance of the artisanship and exploration of
instructing. Along these lines, the individual instructors
directing action research gain a persistent ground in building up
their qualities as intelligent professionals.
Action research is useful since it promotes a gaining ground on
school-wide priorities. By this, students increase their
knowledge in the research field while developing their social
behavior. Progressively, schools are concentrating on
reinforcing themselves and their projects through the
improvement of regular core interests. Centering the
consolidated time, vitality, and innovativeness of a gathering of
submitted experts on a separate pedagogical issue will
unavoidably prompt project enhancements, and in addition to
the school turning into a focal point of brilliance reformists
(Smith, 2007). Subsequently, when a staff concentrates on one
issue and every one of the instructors choose to take part in real
life research on that issue excitedly; noteworthy advancement
on the school-wide needs cannot resist the opportunity of the
occasion to happen.Uses of Action Research:
Activity examination or action research is utilized in the
gathering of information. Action analysts can achieve this by
ensuring that the information used to legitimize their activities
is substantial and reliable. Ultimately, before data are utilized

to settle on showing choices, instructors must be sure that the
lessons are drawn from the information adjust to any one of
some kind qualities of their classroom or school (Greenwood &
Levin, 2006).
Moreover, action research is relevant in illuminating set
hypotheses. For instance, if educators are worried about
expanding dependable classroom conduct, it will be useful for
them to start by clearing up which approach—utilizing
disciplines and rewards. Apparently, it permits students to
encounter the typical results of their practices, or some other
procedure—they feel will work best in helping understudies get
mindful classroom conduct propensities.

Planning:
This articulates action research as an emergent process of
engagement with worthwhile practice purposes, through many
ways of knowing, in participative relationships. The four
dimensions reflected in the diagram of action research will be
helpful in the literature review explanation (Smith, 2007).
Action:
The off chance that an organization is utilizing IP telephony to
coordinate different destinations, the primary advantage to be
picked up is that telephone calls between the different locales,
beforehand charged for by the information transfers supplier ,
are for nothing out of pocket (Smith, 2007). In any case, funds
can likewise be made at the expense of calls that develop past
the organization if the quick steering is inside the corporate
system.
Observation:
Because action research starts with everyday experience and is
concerned with the development of living, situational
knowledge, in many ways, the process of inquiry is as important
as specific outcomes. Good action research emerges over time

in an evolutionary and developmental process, as individuals
learn skills of inquiry, as communities of inquiry develop, as
understanding of the issues deepens, and as practice grows and
shifts changes over time. Emergence means that the questions
may change, the relationships may change, the purposes may
change, and what is important may change (Smith, 2007).
Reflection:
Action research is described in terms of four characteristic
dimensions, which present an enormous range of criteria beyond
those of the empirical research paradigm against which quality
research can be judged. Following a review of recent debates
concerning validity and quality in qualitative research, the
quality issues for each of the characteristics of action research
are explored. It is argued that none of these criteria are in any
sense absolute but rather represent choices that action
researchers must make in the conduct of their work: Action
research is characteristically full of choices. So the primary rule
in approaching quality is to be aware of the choices that are
made and their consequences. Significant choice points in the
conduct of action research are then explored (Smith, 2007).
Justification of Approach
Action research is a justifiable topic when it comes to research
work. It is common for a proposition, and the possible
postulation, to offer reasons, which clarify why the exploration
is advantageous. The method is most normally because it
addresses research questions, which are topical and have
theoretical or practical significance (Smith, 2007). The
educators, schools, and educational systems that grab this open
door and start putting resources into the force of inquiry will
figure out that they are re-modeling the expert routine of
instruction in their area as a significant and remunerating
interest.Conclusion
Action research is a taught procedure of request led by and for
those doing the actual research work. From all its variety of
definition, action research is a valuable tool in the field of
research since it helps in defining theories, collecting

substantial data on the theory and concluding the effects of the
theory with facts. The main innovation in this is voice stream
and the code generated to the stream to generate the similar
voice. Because of the newly generated voice code the size of
voice stream is purposefully unchanged. So a free space is
created and is stored with secrete records, this is called
TranSteg. The TranSteg confirmation of idea usage was
composed and created. The got exploratory results will be
talked about in the following part. Institutions, which encourage
their teachers and student to utilize action research in their
work, prove to be useful in their education matters since they
display a broad range of knowledge on how to formulate
analyze and conclude any data.
