Voice-over-Internet-Protocol is a packet-based technology for transmitting digitized voice over an Ethernet/IP network. Because many businesses deliver the packetized voice traffic across the Internet to lower the phone bill, VoIP is sometimes called Internet Telephony. VoIP technology, or packet-based voice, underlies such recent developments as unified communication (UC). Related terms include network transformation--referring to carriers that migrate to All-IP network service delivery--as well as real-time communication, since voice transmission is especially sensitive to network issues as delay and jitter (variance in delay).

The Patton Model 51 DB-9 PockeTester™ monitors the seven most important async EIA-574 (RS-232 on a DB-9) data and control lines. The Model 51 uses seven tri-state LEDs to indicate the presence of the following signals: TD, RD, DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS and DCD. A red light = Mark, a green light = Space and no light indicates no signal on the line. No AC power or batteries required.

What is a virtual session border controller or virtualized SBC? Traditionally, a session border controller (SBC) is a device positioned between carrier networks or between an enterprise LAN and a service-provider WAN. In the latter case, the border controller is called an enterprise session border controller or eSBC. Whether it is delivered as a dedicated hardware session border controller or a virtualized network function, (a.k.a. software SBC) the border controller manages call (session) setup and teardown. The SBC also provides network demarcation (demarc), or separation (border) between network domains, as well as other types of management (control) over the data streams that pass between networks. With the growing popularity of software defined networking (SDN) and the burgeoning market development and adoption of network function virtualization (NFV), eSBC functionality is more and more often de-coupled from a dedicated hardware device and delivered as a virtual instance running as a virtual machine (VM) on top of a hypervisor. It is generally not well understood in the market why an eSBC is such a critical network element for a secure and reliable SIP-based enterprise phone system. The following publication will help close that knowledge gap.

A Media Gateway is a networking device that provides valuable and essential functions for organizations, service providers, and network operators. When interconnecting traditional time-division-multiplexed (TDM) telephony systems with modern voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) systems, a VoIP media gateway works by providing protocol conversion (translation) and interoperability between the two network technologies. Also known as an IP media gateway or SIP media gateway, the device converts a traditional analog plain-old-telephone-system (POTS) voice signal or related digital telephony signals such as T1, DS3, STM1 or OC3 into packets for transmission over a data network such as the Internet, private IP Network or a corporate LAN. When the legacy system is based on digital integrated services digital network (ISDN) technology, the device may be called a digital VoIP gateway or ISDN media gateway. Some manufacturers combine gateway functionality with WAN-access (internet-access) capability into a single device or network appliance. Such a dual-purpose device may be known as an access media gateway.

What is a Virtual VPN server? A Virtual VPN server (aka virtual private network server or virtualized VPN Server) is a type of router that provides hosting and delivery of VPN services. It may also be viewed as an IP Network instance that terminates VPN connections such as Ipsec, OpenVPN and similar. Traditionally, a VPN server is a hardware computing device installed and configured with software that provides virtual Private Network (VPN) service. Patton has decoupled the VPN software from the dedicated hardware using virtualization technology to create a virtualized version of the network function or VNF. The VNF form of the server provides VPN tunnel management, network protection, firewall security, and IPsec router functionality-as well as VoIP security including TLS/SRTP.

Access router is a sort of shorthand term for an Internet access router or wide area network (WAN) access router. When deployed by an organization this network element is often called an enterprise router, and is traditionally implemented as a dedicated hardware appliance on the subscriber premise. However, the access router functionality may be virtualized. Virtualization means the software is separated or de-coupled, from the customer premise equipment (CPE) hardware. Such virtualization results in a virtualized network function (VNF), which may also be called a software access router or virtual access router.

Is a multi-functional networking device (Integrated Access Device or multiservice access gateway) that provides a WAN-access interface in addition to IP routing and a voice gateway services (see What is a VoIP Gateway?). Installed on the customer premise, the VoIP IAD is classified as customer-premise equipment (CPE). While there is some debate on the topic, a VoIP IAD is generally considered to be more efficient and cost-effective than a multi-unit CPE solution for most business-class IP-telephony applications

Is a hybrid networking device installed on the customer premise that provides advanced IP routing services combined with standard voice media gateway functions (see What is a VoIP Gateway?). Among the chief advantages is the ability to manage intra-company dialing plans, including PSTN breakout for long-distance toll bypass between branch offices. Additional IP routing features may also be provided, including access control list (ACL) and payload encryption using such networking protocols as VoIP-VPN IPsec or TLS/SRTP.
