| VoIP Components |
|
| A VOIP system consists of a number of different components. The major
components of a VOIP network deliver very similar functionality to that
of a PSTN and enable VOIP networks to perform all of the same tasks that
the PSTN does. The one additional requirement is that VOIP networks must
contain a gateway component that enables VOIP calls to be sent to the PSTN,
and vice versa. |
|
| There are four major components to a VOIP network: |
|
-
Call Processing Server/IP PBX – this is the heart of a VOIP system.
It manages all VOIP control connections. Call processing servers
are usually software based.
-
End User Devices (CPE) – consist of VOIP
phones and desktop-based devices. VOIP
phones maybe software based (softphones) or hardware based (handsets).
-
Media/VOIP Gateways – traditionally gateways have mainly been used for
Call Admission and control and bandwidth management. The major function
of media gateways is analog-to-digital conversion of voice and creation
of IP packets (CODEC functions). The media gateway forms the interface
that the voice content will use so it can be transported over the IP network.
-
IP Network – think of the VOIP network as one logical switch, however this
switch is a distributed system. This system tracks and manages call progress
and handles conversion between the addressing schemes used on a data network
(IP addresses) and telephone numbers. The IP backbone provides the connectivity
among the distributed elements. This system as a whole is sometimes
referred to as a softswitch architecture. Other names for this function
are call server, call processor, gatekeeper, media gateway controller,
or softswitch. Think of this device as an automated operator, handling
all the tasks the switchboard operator used to handle.
