4. Abstract
Voice over Internet
Protocol
(VoIP) is a technology that
enables one to make and
receive phone calls through
the Internet instead of using
the traditional analogy
PSTN (Public Switched
Telephone Network) lines.

6. Definition
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and
group of technologies for the delivery
of voice communications over IP networks,
such as the Internet
Category of Hardware and Software
Transmission medium for telephone calls
Rather than by traditional circuit
transmissions of the PSTN

7. What Is VOIP
VoIP is packetisation and transport of
classic public switched telephone system
audio over an IP network.
It allows 2-way voice transmission over
broadband connection.
It is also called IP telephony, internet
telephony, voice over broadband, broadband
telephony. mohsinarif10@yahoo.com 7
8. PSTN
Voice network use circuit
switching.
Dedicated path between
calling and called party.
Bandwidth reserved in
advance.
Cost is based on distance
and time.
INTERNET
Data network use packet
switching.
No dedicated path
between sender and
receiver.
It acquires and releases
bandwidth, as it needed.
Cost is not based on
distance and time.
PSTN vs. INTERNET

9. Why VoIP
IP telephony is economic, High costs for
traditional telephone switching equipment

10. How VoIP works
Converting the voice signal
ADC (analog to digital)
DAC (digital to analog)
Voice (source) - - ADC - - - Internet - - - DAC - - Voice (dest)
Transmission of voice traffic in packets

11. How VoIP works
Compression – voice is compressed
typically with one of the following codecs,
G7.11 64k, G7.29AB 8k, G723.1 6.3k
Encapsulation – the digitized voice is
wrapped in an IP packet
Routing – the voice packet is routed
through the network to its final destinationmohsinarif10@yahoo.com 11

16. Security
As VoIP uses the Internet, for example, it is
vulnerable to the same type as security risks
Hacking
Denial of service
Eavesdropping

20. Gateway
A VoIP gateway is a gateway device that
uses Internet Protocols to transmit and
receive voice communications (VoIP).

21. Codecs
Codecs are used to convert an analog
voice signal to digitally encoded version.
Codecs vary in the sound quality, the
bandwidth required, the computational
requirements, etc.
