  1. A Quick Introduction to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) PURC Annual Conference 2004 Chuck Jackson

  2. Roadmap • Basics of packet communications as used in the Internet • How voice is transmitted over packet networks such as the Internet. • Examples of VoIP uses and systems • Concluding thoughts

  3. Internet Basics • The basic building block of networks is the IP datagram. • Analogy to datagrams—a postcard with • Destination address • Return address • A small amount of text • A postcard might inform you of a friend’s holiday travels or remind you of a dentist’s appointment. • The postal service doesn’t care which application (friend or dentist) sent the postcard—it just carries processed wood pulp with black marks.

  4. Protocol Layering Applications (e.g., email, web pages) TCP UDP IP (Internet Protocol) Physical Transport (e.g, Cable Modem) A Typical IP Datagram IP Header (20 bytes) TCP Header (20 bytes) Email Data (1000 bytes)

  6. Voice—Another Application over IP • Voice requires about 10,000 to 100,000 bits per second. • Can send those bits over IP—just as we send web pages or email.

  7. Alternative VoIP Architectures • PC to PC Internet

  8. Alternative VoIP Architectures • Phone to Phone via the Internet Internet

  9. Alternative VoIP Architectures • Phone to Internet to Gateway to PSTN Internet GATEWAY PSTN

  10. Alternative VoIP Architectures • PSTN to Gateway to Internet to Gateway to PSTN Internet GATEWAY GATEWAY PSTN PSTN

  11. VoIP Examples • Xbox Voice • Windows messenger • AOL Instant Messenger • Motorola Phone Adapter (Vonage) • Cisco Phone • Cox Cable in Hampton Roads, Virginia

  13. Microsoft’s Explanation of the Benefits of Voice with Xbox http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/about/Article-Top10GetLive.htm.htm

  14. Microsoft Windows Messenger

  15. AOL Instant Messenger

  16. The Motorola Box Used by Vonage

  17. Vonage Uses this Archtecture • Phone to Internet to Gateway to PSTN Internet GATEWAY PSTN

  18. Motorola Box in Vonage Architecture Internet GATEWAY PSTN

  19. Cisco 7970 IP Phone

  20. Cox Cable in Hampton Roads, Virginia

  21. Concluding Thoughts • VoIP is one of many higher-level communications capabilites among devices connected to the Internet. • VoIP is not an application. • VoIP is a capability that is part of many applications. • VoIP capabilities are already pervasive. • Microsoft Windows Messenger (part of XP) • AOL Instant Messenger • Xbox and Sony Playstation
