Riassunto

A follow-up to Uyless Black's best-selling Voice Over IP, this book focuses on critical Internet call processing protocols -- giving professionals all the background they need to successfully implement voice, data, fax, and even videoconferencing across the Internet. In Internet Telephony: Call Processing Protocols, Uyless Black introduces each key IETF and ITU standard for Internet call processing, helping communications professionals resolve conflicts and achieve maximum interoperability. The book begins with a basic tutorial on telephony call processing and the differences between call processing on traditional circuit-switched telephone networks vs. packet-based networks such as the Internet. The book includes extensive coverage of the ITU H.323 standard for transmission of mixed-media signals such as videoconferencing sessions; the IETF/ITU Megaco Protocol for improving device interoperability and acoustic performance; and IETF's Session Initiation Protocol for IP teleconferencing. Black demonstrates how to build special services such as call waiting into IP networks; and an in-depth introduction into telephony traffic routing using the new Telephony Routing over IP (TRTP) protocol.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

The key source for the principal Internet telephony services and standards.

The Internet now handles extensive video, teleconferencing, fax, and voice communications, in addition to basic data transfer. But overlapping standards for mixed media transmissions can confuse even the most sophisticated engineers. Experienced telecom leader Uyless Black brings together all the tools and protocols for call processing in this single authoritative source.

Internet Telephony begins with an overview of basic telephony call processing, focussing on the differences between traditional circuit switching and the more contemporary packet-based networks. A special section discusses telephony routing over IP. Along the way, Black explores the major standards and protocols in detail. Highlights include:

• H.323: the ITU standard for transmitting mixed media signals via LANS and WANs
• SIP: the IETF's Session Initiation Protocol used for IP teleconferencing
• Megaco Protocol: a combined IETF/ITU standard for multimedia conferencing
• MGCP: a call processing protocol, published as an informational RFC

For engineers, managers, or users, Internet Telephony is the one book to cover all the technologies.
