Understand how new network technologies impact VoIP!
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is revolutionizing the way people communicate – both in the corporate world and in personal life. The enormous success of VoIP has led to its adoption in a wide range of networking technologies. Each network technology has its unique features and poses distinct challenges for the performance of VoIP.
VoIP: Wireless, P2P and New Enterprise Voice over IPdescribes the issues arising in the deployment of VoIP in an emerging heterogeneous network environment. Along with a brief overview of the concepts, protocols, algorithms, and equipment involved in realizing VoIP, this book focuses on two areas: quality and performance issues in deploying VoIP over various network settings, and the new mechanisms and protocols in these emerging networks to assist the deployment of VoIP.
VoIP: Wireless, P2P and New Enterprise Voice over IP:
This book is an invaluable resource for professional network engineers, designers, managers, researchers, decision makers and project managers overseeing VoIP implementations. Market analysts, consultants, and those studying advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on data, voice and multimedia communications will also find this book insightful.
Just what I was looking forReviewed by Mitch A. Schull, 2008-11-04
There are several books about VoIP in the market but for me this one stands out because of its unique approach. Rather than focusing on protocols and the bit/byte details, the book gave me insight into the concepts and issues arising in deploying VoIP over various technologies. The concepts that drive different technologies like P2P and Wireless networks are explained very clearly. The issues arising when we deploy VoIP in these settings are discussed. I believe the most unique aspect of the book is that it uses performance results reported in recent research publications to highlight the performance issues and their possible solutions. For a relatively short book, it contains a wealth of knowledge about the new technologies and corresponding VoIP related issue. I highly recommend this book to all users who are interested in understanding the core issues and are not merely interested in knowing the positions of different bits and bytes in various messages in protocols.
Excellent book on VoIPReviewed by Mainak Chatterjee, 2008-11-04
As VoIP is becoming one of the most important technologies for
voice communications worldwide, it is important for us to know how
this technology works and how will it evolve in the years to come.
This book provides a comprehensive picture of the evolution,
standards, protocols, and system deployment. The book is very
timely and would be of much interest among the people working in
this area.
The table of content is quite comprehensive and it covers both the
theories and the applications of these theories for design and
analysis, and deployment of VoIP system. The book is very well
organized. The best part I liked about this book is the language
and the presentation; it's written in such a lucid form -
understanding is so very easy.
The book is technically very sound and covers all the aspects that
somebody might want to know about VoIP. There is no topic that I
feel has been left out. The book starts with the background and
evolution of VoIP networks. A lot of emphasis has been given to the
codecs; all standard codes have been discussed and their
performance compared. The deployment of VoIP systems is also very
well discussed-both for overlay networks and wireless networks.
Since, I work on wireless networks; Part III (VoIP in Wireless
Networks) was of much interest to me. I must say, the authors have
done a fantastic job talking about the state-of-the-art
technologies (including WiMax) that support VoIP. I think this book
will be particularly useful to graduate students and researchers
working in the area of voice/multimedia communication over
IP.
Very shallow and brief treatment.Reviewed by Johann, 2008-09-04
When you examine the table of contents you might get impressed because it looks so rich. It covers P2P, SIP, H.323, Megaco, IMS, VoWiFi, VoWimax, Codecs, etc. Table of contents is rich but this is a book with less than 280 pages so every major subject has been touched very briefly in layman terms. Normally it would have 900+ pages if all the subjects above in VoIP arena covered in reasonable details. In summary if you are not a technical person/engineer or a technical student and if you need a concise book covering VoIP technologies very briefly in general terms this book might be considerable but it is expensive for the detail level it contained because you can gather the same information easily by browsing in the Internet and from white papers available for free. For technical people in VoIP arena there are many better books available in the market which covers each subject individually.
