Introduction Why VoIP? Architecture Basic idea behind VoIP Ways in which VoIP can be implemented Devices in VoIP Contents in VoIP Quality of service Advantages and disadvantages Applications Conclusion References
(VoIP) stands for Voice over Internet protocol is revolutionizing the world of communications. It allows you to make and receive phone calls over the Internet and IP networks for much cheaper than with the traditional landline phone network.
It also makes your communication experience much richer and nicer with a series of enhanced features and extended possibilities. With VoIP, we can make a call from anywhere if we have broadband
Supports both voice and data. Call routing. Flexibility. Reliability services

VoIP server can be hardware or software. Its duty is to conveying the voice and video data over the data network like internet. Responsible for call initiation and termination.
VoIP clients is also known as SIP clients. It is a software application It is normally installed on a users device to allow VoIP calls
VoIP gateways works as a bridge between PSTN and IP network. Gateways are used for converting the analog data into digital IP packets and vice versa for the transmission of the data through IP network. Gateway uses codec and IP protocols to work properly.
A voice codec is responsible for the compression of your voice stream within a digital packet. It also determines sound quality and bandwidth required to send the packet. A VoIP gateway typically supports multiple voice codecs.
For eg: G.729 is an audio data compression algorithm for voice that compresses digital voice in packets of 10 milliseconds duration.

Real time transfer protocol:- VoIP phones use RTP to carry media
data over the internet.
RTP is originated and received on even port numbers and the associated RTCP communication uses the next higher odd port number.
SS7:-
is a set of telephone signalling protocols which are being used to set up most of the world's public switched telephone network(PSTN) telephone calls. The main purpose is to set up and tear down calls.
QoS (Quality of Service) is a major issue in VOIP implementations. The issue is how to guarantee that packet traffic for a voice or other media connection will not be delayed or dropped due interference from other lower priority traffic. Things to consider are:-
Integration of voice and data More bandwith Cost reduction Video conferencing Fere IP to IP call
There are loads of benefits for using VoIP. One of the main benefits is the cost efficiency. Nowadays VoIP technology is generally used in all offices for making long distance voice calls with real time voice quality at low charges. So, VoIP technology will be the best source for long distance communication up to date. VoIP technology will be the trend of future. Already, more than 50 million people and businesses have begun to subscribe to a VoIP phone provider.
