IP Networking Overview • IP assumes delay and packet ordering problems
Voice Delay with IP One-Way, Mouth-to-Ear Delay Description 1-150 ms Suitable for most delay sensitive applications like voice. 150-400 ms Still acceptable, but starts to influence voice quality. Communication can be annoying if no actions are taken. 400 ms and greater Unacceptable for most delay sensitive applications. • Delay budget deals with one-way delay, not a round-trip!
Major VoIP Protocols VoIP Protocol Description H.323 • ITU standard protocol for interactive conferencing. • Evolved from H.320 ISDN standard. • Flexible, complex. Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) • Emerging standard for Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) gateway control, thin device control. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) • IETF protocol for interactive and non-interactive conferencing. • Simpler, but less mature, than H.323. Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) • IETF standard media streaming protocol. Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) • Protocol that provides out-of-band control information for an RTP flow. Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) • Priority queuing technique that uses priority queuing-class-based weighted fair queuing (PQ-CBWFQ).
Signaling from PBX to the Router The PBX seizes a trunk line to the router, and forwards dial digits.
Signaling Between Routers The Dial Plan Mapper reads the dial digits, and finds the address of the remote IP peer. The H.323 agent initiates a Q.931 call to the remote peer.
Signaling from Router to PBX The remote H.323 agent seizes a PBX trunk, returns a Q.931 acknowledgment to the origin, and forwards dial digits to the PBX

RTP Header Compression RTP Headers are almost always 2 Bytes long when compressed. RTP header compression saves bandwidth by compressing packet headers across WAN links.
