4. What is IP Telephony ?
ITU Definitions
VoIP : Use of Private Networks
Internet Telephony : Use of Public Network
IP Telephony : VoIP + Internet Telephony
Alternatives
This deployment is VoIP
(end points are PSTN)
End points are IP

5. Audio Packet Transfer

Digitization (e.g., sampling at 8kHz, 16 bits per sample,
i.e, 128 kb/s or 320 bytes per 20 ms)
i.e,
Real-
Real-time compression/encoding (e.g., G.729A at 8 kb/s)
compression/encoding G.729A
Transport to remote IP address and port number over
UDP (Why not TCP?)
Processing on receiver side is the reverse

Encode each quantized
sample into 8 bit code word

coding, linear prediction)

Sample at twice the Round off samples to one
highest voice frequency of 256 levels (introduces
2 x 4000=8000 Hz noise)

7. VoIP Deployments
Phone to Phone
1998 is mainly provided by
Service Provider or
Private Network
(E.g. Singtel’s 019)
1999 PC(Web) to Phone
is mainly provided
by Service Provider
(E.g. Web2Phone)
IP Phone to IP Phone
2002 is mainly provided by
Service Provider or
self Managed
(E.g. Free World Dial)
post Wireless IP Phone
2003 to Wireless IP Phone
will be provided by whom?
New Comer:
Skype, Vonage etc.

15. Cisco
SIP-H.323 and H.323-SIP support was introduced in IOS
SIP- H.323-
release 12.3(11)T
Supports Voice calls. Video is supported for some calls
Not a big performance impact, as no media transcoding is
involved. At worst case, just copy the media stream from input
buffer to output buffer
Costs money (2 cisco routers, 1or 2 ‘expensive’ software
license)
20. Implications
No more time-based
telephony charges
No concept of local call, long-
distance call or IDD call

21. Change in Business Paradigm
Traditional Telecom Model New Telecom Model
Value-Added
Voice
Service
Data Service Value-Added Service
Voice Service Data Service
Infrastructure Infrastructure
“The most powerful paradigm shift is the fact that applications are not woven into the
platforms. Now to be a phone company, you don't have to weave tightly the voice service
into the infrastructure. They (Vonage) turn voice into a application and shoot it across one
of these platforms. And, suddenly, you're in your business.”
– Michael Powell, Chairman of FCC

22. Technical Issues
Technical Architecture
To achieve interoperability between different IP Telephony services,
What should be the technical common platform?
What are the technical specifications to adopt?
Quality of Service
What is the acceptable QoS for IP Telephony?
How to ensure QoS?
Security and Privacy
How secure is IP Telephony?
What about wiretapping requirements?

23. Business Issues
Interconnection
Who can interconnect to PSTN?
What is the pricing model?
Market Studies
What is the economic impact?
How would it change the telco landscape?
(cost to setup IP Telephony service ~= cost to setup Email service)
Numberings
What’s is the numbering plans for IP Telephony?
How are numbers assigned for IP Telephony services?
What if there is no service provider?

24. Regulatory Issues
Classification
How do we classify all the different IP Telephony services?
Are they subjected to similar “regulation”?
Licensing
Who needs to apply for license?
What if there is no service provider?
Universal Access
Is it applicable to IP Telephony?
How about emergency numbers?
