Designing the Voice over IP Network
VoIP solutions use the same data network as regular data transmissions, such as
file/print services and e-mail.The difference comes into focus when voice packets
begin flowing across this same network.This section will delve into the issues of
network architectural changes that may be required to support VoIP and multimedia
solutions.These issues, whether small or large, apply equally well to site
designs of different sizes. Small sites, however, aren’t nearly as sensitive to traffic
volumes as large sites. Nonetheless, this section will present the same technical
focus you’ll need to apply to any network that must support voice-quality data.
