Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) – Technology and Applications

  • Course Name: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) – Technology and Applications
  • Duration: 2 Days
  • Technical Level: 3

Overview

This 2-day training course provides an understanding of the market for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services and the technologies that will be used to realise these services.

The course introduces the concepts of VoIP, explores the drivers for the introduction of this technology and examines some of the current VoIP services. An examination of the architecture, protocols and components of VoIP networks provides a detailed view of how VoIP will be supported and integrated with existing network architectures. The key issues of Quality of Service (QoS) and security are also covered so that the end-to-end scenarios for VoIP implementation can be explained.ated.

Course Objectives

  • Identify the VoIP service concept and describe implementation scenarios
  • Describe typical VoIP services and understand the business models applied to these services
  • Identify the main VoIP standards
  • Identify the network components for both ITU and IETF-based systems and explain the role of each network element
  • List the types of users terminals available which support VoIP services
  • Describe the requirements for interworking with circuit-switched networks
  • Compare and contrast the H.323 and SIP protocol ‘suites’
  • Identify basic call establishment procedures in a SIP network and describe the role of the associated protocols
  • List the performance measures for voice services and describe how these may be impacted by packet switched networks
  • List the techniques that may be used to impose QoS in a packet network B Identify the evolution of both fixed and mobile telecoms networks and describe how this evolution allows the support of VoIP services
  • Describe the functions and features of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
  • List the security threats related to IP networks and describe the techniques that may be used to mitigate these

Course Requirements

A basic understanding of telecommunications would be an advantage, but is not essential.
