Develop cost-effective, long-term solutions for packetized voice Analysts agree that within the next decade virtually all telecommunications traffic will travel over packet networks. Should your packetized voice be delivered over Layer 2 networks such as ATM or Frame Relay, or over Layer 3 IP networks? Drawing upon years of practical experience with voice over data implementations, the authors of this book consider the advantages and disadvantages of IP versus traditional packet networks. The book explores the unique engineering problems posed by running voice over a connectionless network. And it supplies guidelines to help you decide when (or whether) to invest, and how to choose the best technologies for your organization. With the help of several case studies, the authors provide in-depth coverage of: * Network architectures to support voice over IP * Performance and voice quality considerations * Compression and integration methods for IP transmissions * Support protocols, including MPOA, RSVP, and RTP * Voice-over-IP technology for intranets, routed networks, and the Internet * The latest enabling technologies, such as voice characteristics, compression standards, and QoS * Internet telephony servers and other support hardware
We all know it's just a matter of time before VoIP gets ramped up, so I was really pleased to see this book on the shelf. It's best to be prepared-that's what I say. This book will definitely give you a leg up.
Excellent book for CCIE Written Examination

Really enjoyed the sections on H.323 and H.225 protocols. Was able to thoroughly understand the difference between Real Time Protocol and Real Time Control Protocol. Do you know where this protocol lays in the OSI model? What is the difference between Random Early Detection and Weighted Random Early Detection? If you're not sure about the answers, then you need this book. Cleared up alot of questions I had on the CCIE Written Exam 350-001. Would also recommend "Internetworking TCP/IP" Author: Douglas Comer.

I really liked this book. As I am still learning VoIP field. This book explains in very simple terms clearlly. Compared to Marcus Goncalves's "voice Over IP networks", this book was more informative and easy to follow. This is a great book for students and also for novices!!!
