Path to Reality forInternet Telephony henry.sinnreich@mci.com Disclaimer: These may or may not be the opinions….
Overview • Business case for IP telephony protocols • IETF-ITU Progress: PINT/SIP • QoS and Service Agreements • Security • Charging • Lowest Cost ALL IP Networks • Is H.323 setting back Internet Telephony? • Telephony Signaling and Device Control Henry Sinnreich
Telephony Moves to IP Most telecom revenue Least of traffic How much cheaper? Internet Data is critical Most traffic is data Telephony is just another IP service IP Tel Protocols Have a Business Case There is no business case for another telephony network (VoIP) Telephony becomes another Internet feature Design protocols to support and to integrate it well Henry Sinnreich

Is H.323 holding back Internet telephony ? • PC’s give IP telephony a bad image - tough PC problem • H.323 was not designed to be an Internet telephony standard - but H.3xx extension for IP, IPX LANs • Management Babylon: TMN/CMIP/OSI plus SNMP • Interoperability dead end: Shortcuts from ITU std’s • Waste of bandwidth: 20 byte voice + 40 byte overhead • Codecs can’t adapt to Internet - though RTCP is there • No fit with Internet security (RAS vs. AAA and firewalls) • Duplication with IN/AIN and Internet servers • 3rd network routing & tables: Gatekeeper zones • WWW unaware - no fit for XML, VoXML - what future ?
