The course is intended to anyone who needs to broaden knowledge about VoIP technology. This 3-days long session gives deep understanding and practical knowledge of VoIP technology.


Course Scope

  1. VoIP Background.
    • Why VoIP – benefits and problems,
    • Circuit versus packet switching for real-time services,
    • Voice services quality and measurement standards (MOS, etc.),
    • Real-time services in ATM, Frame Relay and IP networks (RTP/RTCP),
    • Voice compression (linear prediction, G.72x codecs) and packetization,
    • VoIP signaling overview (call control, media negotiations, mobility management),
    • VoIP standards evolution,
    • H.32x standards overview,
    • H.248 overview,
    • SIP overview: history, standard evolution.
  2. H.323 fundamentals.
    • H.323 protocol family overview,
    • H.323 architecture; functional entities description,
    • H.323 call stages,
    • H.225 RAS (Registration, Admission, Status),
    • H.225 CC (Call Controll),
    • H.245 Control Protocol for Multimedia decription.
  3. SIP fundamentals.
    • SIP main architecture,
    • SIP components (servers and clients) and their functions: SIP user agents (AU client and server),
    • SIP servers: proxy (statefull and stateless), redirect, registrar,
    • SIP location servers,
    • SIP gateways,
    • SIP message structure,
    • SIP requests and response codes,
    • SIP supporting IETF protocols (SAP, SDP),
    • SIP sessions: session setup, proxying and redirecting requests, address resolution, media negotiation via SDP,
    • SIP security,
    • General SIP message flow examples.
  4. Transport protocols in VoIP networks.
    • IP4 vs. IP6,
    • RTP & RTCP protocols,
    • Secured media transport – SRTP protocol,
    • Media streaming – RTSP protocol,
  5. Voice coding aspects.
    • Basic information about speech; narrowband coding,
    • Speech codecs; basic facts, speech compression,
    • PCM, ADPCM, CELP codecs. Key differentiators for codecs used in VoIP.
  6. Quality of Service in VoIP
    • Quality of voice and quality of service expectations,
    • Media quality; key facts
    • Speech QoS – sources of network impairments,
    • QoS measure: MOS. PESQ model, E model
    • QoS testing methods.
