Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT) Module 2: Cisco VoIP Implementations
Objectives • Describe the benefits of a VoIP network. • Describe the components of a VoIP network. • Describe the legacy analog interfaces used in VoIP networks. • Describe the digital interfaces used in VoIP networks. • Explain the 3 phases of call control. • Compare and contrast distributed and centralized call control.
Benefits of a VoIP Network • More efficient use of bandwidth and equipment • Lower transmission costs • Consolidated network expenses • Improved employee productivity through features provided by IP telephony: • IP phones are complete business communication devices. • Directory lookups and database applications (XML) • Integration of telephony into any business application • Software-based and wireless phones offer mobility. • Access to new communications devices (such as PDAs and cable set-top boxes)
Legacy Analog Interfaces in VoIP Networks 5 1 3 2 4 1
Call Setup • Checks call-routing configuration • Determines bandwidth availability • If bandwidth is available, setup message is passed • If bandwidth is not available, busy signal is generated
Call Maintenance • Tracks quality parameters: • Packet loss • Jitter • Delay • Maintains or drops call based on connection quality
Call Teardown • Notifies devices to free resources • Resources are made available to subsequent calls
Self Check • Which type of call control uses a call agent to route the call? • What is a DSP? • Name 3 types of analog interfaces used at gateways. • What are the 3 components of basic call control? • What phase of call control involves determining if bandwidth is available to place the call?
Summary • The benefits of a VoIP network include more efficient use of network bandwidth and equipment, lower cost and consolidated expenses. • Legacy analog and VoIP applications and devices can coexist. • The 3 stages of a VoIP call include call setup, call maintenance, and call teardown. • VoIP can be deployed in a centralized or distributed environment.
