Making Voip Perform As Advertised
By David Cowgill
The promise of lower cost has motivated many enterprises to move their voice traffic to the enterprise IP wide area network (WAN). Many have discovered, however, that Voice over IP (VoIP) quality does not always meet business use standards.
In addition, as is introduced to the network, the performance of other business-critical applications -- already at risk given growing Web/Internet traffic -- begins to deteriorate. The challenge is to assure the performance of real-time calls while protecting business data that requires immediate response times, in a manner that optimizes the efficiency of the WAN.
The growth in real-time and interactive business traffic that requires immediate response mandates a layer of application-aware control that intelligently links the performance requirements of a growing mix of converged data, and video applications with available network resources in a manner that assures an optimal user experience.
This application-aware, traffic-management solution should work with the existing IP network, and should assure the performance of individual calls and application flows. Policies should be accurate and application-aware, and tuning performance in both the inbound and outbound directions should be possible to ensure the integrity of each user connection.
Users should first know what is currently running on their network so that they can proactively manage the WAN to assure business-critical data and performance. Traffic should be actively monitored, classified and then assigned policies that assure the required level of performance in the most efficient manner possible.
Intelligent traffic-management policies can be applied to assure the performance of existing business-critical applications (e.g., CRM, SAP), while non-critical traffic is limited in the most efficient manner possible. In most cases, traffic-management policies that specifically guarantee bandwidth and response time for each application session and/or flow are required.
VolP-specific controls should be applied to assure real-time call performance (e.g., latency, jitter, bandwidth) on a call-by-call basis. This requires granular and accurate enforcement of bandwidth policies and priority control for each individual call. Given that a call is a two-way exchange, these policies should be enforced in both the inbound and outbound direction.
In addition, because a session consists of multiple flows (e.g., call setup, call control and call media) each flow should be individually protected to guarantee the integrity of the call. This means the
Skype: Five Years and Counting
Skype: Five Years and Counting August 29, 2008 10:09 PM | 0 Comments Seriously... Five years already? That is how old Skype is? Well time has really flown and I agree with Tom Keating that Skype really made VoIP a household name -- thanks to Vonage too of course who reminded us all of VoIP every time we turned on a TV. I also agree somewhat with Andy Abramson that Skype is more VoIP 1.0 than 2.0 but what are you going to do? They are theoretically focusing on the things that make inst
TXT: Comcast defines the upper limit of bandwidth consumption: 250 gb per month
People we know who use Comcast for high-speed Internet service have wondered what the company considered "excessive" or heavy data transfer use was? That undefined upper limit existed, according to Comcast, serving as a threshold on whether or not Comcast would try to throttle a user's excessive downloads or uploads. But Comcast never identified that limit. That just changed. The large cable company has confirmed that all residential customers will be subject to a 250 gigabyte per month data li

Hotline
Just thought I?d share a picture of a couple of little ?den warming? presents to celebrate having a working setup in our new den, and give a quick update as to why it?s been a bit quiet around here recently. With regards to the den, it?s a great little space to work in - cosy without feeling too crammed. We?ve got the basic stuff we need all set up and running, although we haven?t quite finished the job of clearing out the front bedroom, largely because the routine trip to the hospital threw us
Comcast?s One-DVD-per-Day Limit
I?ve received a lot of comments on my January blog post about being blocked by Comcast. Now, after last week?s thrashing by the FCC, Cory Doctorow reports on BoingBoing that Comcast has gone public with its plan to limit customers to downloads of only 250GB per month. If you don?t think that?s unreasonable, consider that it?s only 8.3GB/day, or roughly the equivalent of downloading one DVD each day. I don?t, as Comcast?s own FAQ describes, send 40 million emails a month or 20,000 high-res photo
Ubiquity Will Not Be Ubiquitous
I may lose my ?early adopter badge? for saying this, but I do not see how Ubiquity really helps anyone. Given that it is a 0.1 release, I know it is far from complete. However, it seems like there is a lot of development required to really make the browser a platform, and make it easier for people to use the Internet as a service. When I say a lot, I mean a minimum of two years until early adopters can praise it like they have praised services like Twitter or FriendFeed. For the rest of the m

I?ve now decided to switch to Comcast for my Internet from Verizon, I read the Comcast FAQ on the subject in greater detail. I don?t have a problem with a pay-as-you-use plan, as long as it?s very clear what you?re paying for and what you?re using. This section concerns me: What is normal or typical use? Bandwidth usage changes over time as Comcast?s customers use the Internet and the services and applications available for it. Currently, the median data usage by Comcast High-Speed Internet c
27 year old newly weds looking for advice
Hello- I just recently starting visiting this site and think it is awesome. I am looking for advice on savings, investing, and some other stuff. I started making great money in 2005, but I lost a lot of money in a business I started (savings + 2005 salary), that business is now closed and debts cleared up. Also previous to 2005 I was making 80% less than I am now. Here is how my current situation looks: Investments: -Ameritrade account: $17,000 (self) -Ameritrade account: $9,500(wife) -Roth I

Broadband saving you money
by Shila Demazzier There seems to be quite a few people that are still listening to the horrible sounds of a dial-up modem every time they go on the Internet. There are more people who do not even have a computer. If you happen to be one of these people, I will explain to you why you should start heading in the opposite direction. Most likely you?re not reading this on a computer if you haven?t got an internet connection. Please, go out and get one. I?m not saying you need purchase a PC worth
5 lessons from the garden about fruit bearing
The Fruit of the Spirit Who doesn?t want to be more loving, joyful, at peace, patient, kind, full of goodness, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled? Each of those are the fruit that the Bible says we should be bearing (John 15:16). I know I would love to see each one of those more in my own life - wouldn?t you?

Inventor of PDA Files Sues Google, LG, Verizon, Others For Voicemail
?Klausner Technologies is again suing big companies for infringing on its voicemail patents.? San Francisco -- Recurring to becoming an annual event, and encouraged by settlements with Apple Inc. and AT T Inc., inventor Judah Klausner, generally referred to as the ?father of the PDA? for his work creating electronic organizers in the 1970s, on Tuesday filed a new patent lawsuit against Google Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., LG Electronics, Citrix, Cox Communications, Embarq Corporation, and o
VoIP on Mobile: The Singularity is Here
Business Week summarizes a variety of mobile VoIP services that allow you to make phone calls from your cellphone over Wi-Fi networks. VoIP calling is already raising a ruckus in telecommunications, putting pressure on the price of land-line calling and luring subscribers toward upstarts like Vonage and Comcast away from incumbents such as AT&T, and Verizon. Now, the technology threatens to erode sales for mobile-phone service providers too. These apps are popular amongst people who u
IEEE standardizes 801.11r fast Wi-Fi roaming
The IEEE has completed 802.11r, a standard that lets Wi-Fi devices roam quickly between wireless access points (WAP) and which improves the performance of VoIP on enterprise LANs. Traditionally, 801.11 devices can roam from one access point to another, but it takes about 100ms to re-associate, and several seconds to re-establish authenticated connections using 802.1x. Not good for time-critical apps like VoIP. According to InfoWorld, "the new standard, 802.11r, known as Fast Basic Service Set
Klausner Sues Google and Verizon for Visual Voicemail
Emboldened by settlements with Apple and AT&T, inventor Judah Klausner filed a voicemail patent lawsuit on Tuesday against Google, Verizon Communications, LG Electronics, Comverse Technology, Citrix Systems, and Embarq. Anticipating the attack, Verizon filed its own lawsuit against Klausner two weeks ago in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York that seeks to have a federal judge declare the inventor's visual voicemail patent invalid. The new case involves claims by K
traffic-management solution should be session aware and enforced on a per-flow basis. For example, if the call control information for a single call is compromised by the media traffic, calls may be dropped midstream.
While proactive traffic management provides a first level of control against other applications running on the network, techniques such as packet size optimization and burst control are necessary to manage the impact at a packet level. These are not available when a router alone is used to perform the traffic-management functions.
Call admission control is needed to protect calls already in progress. This should be network aware (knowledgeable about calls running on the network), with policies that establish directives on what to do when the next call is placed. In addition, the policy-management process should be kept simple, using VolP-aware defaults that apply policies dynamically based on the protocol, the codec and the number of concurrent calls to be supported.
