VoIP: Traffic Engineering • Design the network with sufficient capacity to meet the traffic demand with satisfactory performance • Requirement: assurance of Voice Quality. • If call quality cannot be assured, reject the call request. • Demand (A) - Traffic Intensity number of calls × duration of average calls Erlang • Resources (N) – Network bandwidth (bps) and capacity (pps) • Grade of Service (GoS) – blocking probability DePaul University
Research Areas of VoIP • IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) • How is a VoIP call from one service provider to another service provider today? • VoIP Security • Voice Quality • Quality of Service (QoS) over internet and intranet • Supplemental and Intelligent Network (IN) services • API and VoXML DePaul University
Project IV: Fault Tolerant Network RSL RSTP (802.1w) VRRP Dual Homing ISP-01 ISP-02 • Network Design Goal: • No single point of failure • Failover time << 1 sec DePaul University
Project V: Remote Lab Access Linux Gateway Public Internet Private Networking Labs Windows Terminal Server Devices w/ Console interface Devices w/ IP interface Telecom Terminal Server Console interface Problem Statement: supporting distance learning students to perform hands-on network exercises from any place with 24×7 access to the network lab DePaul University
Conclusions • Evolution of the telecom networks and network technologies • Convergence of PSTN and Internet • Growing demand for wireless networks (bandwidth utilization, more bandwidth, new applications, etc.) • Increasing threat and concerns of network security • Higher requirements for network reliability and service availability • New generation of devices and services • Needs: more research work DePaul University
