Inhaltsangabe

Get the big picture on converged network architectures and emerging protocols!
Converged networks integrate voice, video, and data traffic on a single network. This book covers converged network architectures as well as the latest enabling protocols including SIP, H.323, MPLS, and H.248. Readers will gain a better understanding of network architectures and protocols such as SONET, frame relay, ATM and IP. The book offers the latest information on voice communication networks, data networks, voice packet processing, coding for broadband systems, and voice- over packet networks. Readers will also discover how converged networks can provide the highest level of service for the least cost.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

An exploration of the cutting-edge advancements in the field of voice and data convergence

Numerous attempts have been made in the past to integrate voice and data onto one network. The differing characteristics of voice and data have placed conflicting demands on the individual networks-- voice uses a circuit-switched network, while data uses a packet-switched network. This timely book explores the promise of a converged network, which permits voice, video, and data to be carried in the same packet-switched network using the same packet format.

As converged networks are reaching maturity and are being deployed by major telecom providers, Oliver Ibe offers you insightful discussions on the rewards that convergence allows, such as significant cost reductions, more efficient utilization of resources, the development of Web-based call centers, and unified messaging. Converged networks benefit not only medium-sized businesses (with cost savings for Web-based training or call-centers, for example) but also major network service providers like MCI and AT&T where converged networks can render the highest level of service for the least cost.

This extensive book:
* Reviews why VoIP has become the most prominent technology for network convergence
* Covers new technologies like MPLS, Session Initiation Protocol, and Megaco/H.248 protocol, which have improved reliability and quality-of-service capability in converged networks
* Gives a complete picture of converged network architectures, including Voice over IP, Voice over ATM, and Voice over frame relay
* Covers basic concepts like SONET, advanced intelligent networks, and voice-coding algorithms and standards, which are fundamental to understanding the converged network
* Fills the gaps in the current convergence literature, outfitting network planners and engineers, telecom system designers and implementers, and telephony carriers and developers with an invaluable resource
