The terms Internet telephony, IP telephony and voice-over-IP (VoIP) are often used interchangeably. Some people consider IP telephony a superset of Internet telephony, as it refers to all telephony services over IP, rather than just those carried across the Internet. Similarly, IP telephony is sometimes taken to be a more generic term than VoIP, as it de-emphasizes the voice component.
While some consider telephony to be restricted to voice services, common usage today includes all services that have been using the telephone network in the recent past, such as modems, TTY, facsimile, application sharing, whiteboards and text messaging. This usage is particularly appropriate for IP telephony, since one of the strengths of Internet telephony

For enterprises, the current cost of a traditional circuit-switched PBX and a VoIP system are roughly similar, at about $500 a seat, due to the larger cost of IP phones. However, enterprises with branch offices can re-use their VPN or leased lines for intra-company voice communications and can avoid having to lease small numbers of phone circuits at each branch office. It is well known that a single large trunk for a large user population is more efficient than dividing the user population among smaller trunks, due to the higher statistical multiplexing gain. Enterprises can realize operational savings since moves, additions and changes for IP phones are much simpler, only requiring that the phone be plugged in at its new location.
Architecture:
IP telephony, unlike other Internet applications, is still dominated by concerns about interworking with older technology, here, the PSTN. Thus, we can define three classes [21] of IP telephony operation as shown in Fig. 1.1, depending on the number of IP and traditional telephone end systems. Figure 1.1: Internet Telephony

Ooma is a telecommunication company. We are going to change your attitude about the telephone. There are many new technologies that going to change telecommunication. Today, we have Skype or many others free program for calling people. Although, these companies will charge people every month for using this telecommunication. By the way, our company is not going to charge any phone bills, except, you need to pay $399 for the box, or hub. This box, Ooma's Hub, is a company's machine that uses to connect with a standard home phone or land lines. The box is smaller than a macaroni-and-cheese box, so it is kind of comfortable for us. As the head of this company, I will support this idea.
Perhaps the most redundant, fault-tolerant of all network topologies is the mesh LAN. Each node is connected to every other node for a true point-to-point connection between every device on the network.
“Where I’m Calling From” was one of the many short stories written by Raymond Carver in 1983. Many of Carver’s works have a common theme of alcohol. In “Where I’m Calling From,” the unnamed narrator struggled a lot with alcohol, and he had to be dragged down to the rehabilitation facility by his wife and girlfriend on two different occasions. The story opens with the unnamed narrator sitting on the porch of the rehabilitation facility along with J.P., another alcoholic that was also dragged down to the rehabilitation facility twice, once by his wife, and the other by his father-in-law and brother-in-law. The narrator is separated from his wife, and for some reason distant from his girlfriend. J.P., on the other hand, had everything he wanted,
The rapid development in communication technology in the last few decades has made productions in personal communication devices more cost effective. Personal communications service (PCS) cellular phones have becomes a necessity in the ever-growing society. It is a common thing these days when you heard cellular phones ringing. “Cellular phone providers in the United States sign up three new users per minute and have a combined customer base of approximately 112 million” according to CNN website (http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/ptech/03/29/phone.service.t_t/index.html).
SIP is the application layer control protocol of VOIP which is used for creating ,modifying and terminating a sessions with one or more than one participants.it is a client server protocol, in which client generates a requests and sends it to the server and server process the requests and send it back to the client. SIP provides various services such as User location, User availability, user capability, call setup, call handling.
Telecommunications gained mainstream attention in the early 90’s; however the initial key market was business men and women, who used their phones whilst being on the move and so allowing them to communicate with their companies with ease. Though in the modern era, telecommunication went through segmentation in the market trends, and now in this day and age it would be difficult to find someone who does not own some form of mobile technology. Many phone providers battle to provide the best service for their customers (Figure 1).
IP address is you Internet identity when you are connected to the web. It is synonymous to a postal address.
The Telephone System The telephone is one of the most creative and prized inventions in the world. It has advanced from its humble beginnings to its wireless communication technology today and for the future. The inhabitants of the earth have long communicated over a distance, which has been done by shouting from one hilltop or tower to another. The word "telephone" originated from a combination of two Greek words: "tele", meaning far off, and "phone", meaning voice or sound, and became the known term for "far- speaking." A basic telephone usually contains a transmitter, that transfers the caller's voice, and a receiver, that amplifies sound from an In the transmitter there are two common kinds of transmitters: the carbon transmitter, and the electric transmitter.
The TCP/IP is the most important internet operation protocol in the world. While IP protocol performs the mass of the functions which is needed for the internet to work. It does not have many capabilities which are essential and needed by applications. In TCP/IP model these tasks are performed by a pair of protocols that operate at the transport layer. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). These two protocols are vital when it comes to delivering and managing the communication of numerous applications. To pass on data streams to the proper applications the Transport layer must identify the target application. First, to be able to attain this, Transport layer assigns an application an identifier. In the TCP/IP model call this identifier a port number. Every individual software process needing to access the network is assigned a un...
Some players enjoy these types of nicknames, because they add the fun factor to the game but they are also traditional, and have been around for a long time. So, what are the difference between a land based caller and the online caller? There isn't many differences to be honest, because even though, the bingo hall caller is a real person, both land based and online bingo callers, do the same job!
Over time the different means of receiving the internet have changed several years ago, a phone line would proved a slow connection to the internet, but would not be useful when storing and...

Since its inception, the telephone has become one of the most important inventions of all time. Although some were skeptical about its replacement over telegrams, in the end the advent of this fine communication equipment has won the hearts of many. As a matter of fact, the telephone system had come to numerous facelifts that it literally connected the world before the internet was born. Because of its importance, homes and businesses can not live without it. In the U.S. alone, most if not all have a phone in the house.
Making a telephone call no longer should conjure up visions of operators connecting cables by hand or even of electrical signals causing relays to click into place and effect connections during dialing. The telephone system now is just a multilevel computer network with software switches in the network nodes to route calls get through much more quickly and reliably than they did in the past. A disadvantage is the potential for dramatic and widespread failures; for as has happened.
