Diseño e implementación de una solución de VoIP en un entorno empresarial

El desarrollo de las redes IP ha marcado un creciente interés por unificar todas las comunicaciones sobre una misma infraestructura aprovechando así el cableado existente. Con esta idea nació la tecnología conocida como VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) que consiste en la trasmisión de la voz sobre paquetes IP. El objetivo principal de este proyecto es el diseño e implementación de una infraestructura de voz sobre IP que utilice una red de datos existente. La primera parte del proyecto estará formada por un estudio detallado de los factores que influyen en esta tecnología: codecs, protocolos y otros factores a tener en cuenta. Tras esta parte, aprovechando la experiencia adquirida durante casi tres años en una empresa integradora de servicios, se realizará un caso de estudio en el que, bajo las premisas impuestas por un supuesto cliente, se diseñará una solución que cumpla todos los requisitos y aporte un valor añadido sobre el sistema de telefonía que posee el cliente. El diseño de la mejor solución se hará utilizando productos del fabricante Cisco Systems y, además del coste económico, se valorarán los esfuerzos personales que costará montar dicha solución, incluyendo un valor añadido como es el dotar de buzón de voz y mensajería a todos los usuarios. La última parte del caso de estudio consistirá en la implementación de la infraestructura anteriormente diseñada adquiriendo conocimientos sobre virtualización de servidores utilizando productos de la compañía VMWare (especialista en virtualización), instalación y parametrización de aplicativos de Cisco y, finalmente, la interconexión con la red pública a través de gateways para poder hacer llamadas al exterior. El proyecto finalizará con la presentación de unas conclusiones finales y la exposición de unas líneas futuras de trabajo. ABSTRACT. The IP network development has marked a growing interest in unifying all communications over the same infrastructure taking advantage of the existing wiring. From this idea, a technology was born known as VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) which consists of the transmission of voice packets over the IP network. The main goal of this project is the design and implementation of a VoIP infrastructure for transmitting voice packets over the existing wired network infrastructure on the client. The first part of the project will consist of a detailed study of the factors influencing this technology: codecs, protocols, and other factors to consider. After this part, drawing on the experience gained during nearly three years in an integrated services company, a case study will be made under the premises imposed for a supposed client. A solution that serves all the requirements will be designed and provide an added value on the customer’s telephone system. The design of the best solution will be done using Cisco Systems products and besides the economic cost of the whole solution, the personal effort cost will be valued. The added value named before will be provided with two important applications such as voice mail and instant messaging for all users. The last part of the case study will consist in the implementation of an infrastructure designed to acquire knowledge about virtualization, using VMWare company products (specialist in virtualization), installation and configuration of applications from Cisco Systems and finally the interconnection with the public network through gateway routers in order to make external calls. The project will end with the presentation of final conclusions and exposing future working lines.

A viability analysis of a secure VoIP and instant messaging system on a Pocket PC platform

We propose a secure full-duplex VoIP and instant messaging system on a Pocket PC platform, allowing for session key transport using a public-key protocol and encrypted text or voice communication using a private-key algorithm. The full-duplex VoIP scheme presents good performance for long duration communication over LAN networks.

Lightweight peer-to-peer secure multi-party VoIP protocol

Multi-party voice-over-IP (MVoIP) services provide economical and convenient group communication mechanisms for many emerging applications such as distance collaboration systems, on-line meetings and Internet gaming. In this paper, we present a light peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol to provide MVoIP services on small platforms like mobile phones and PDAs. Unlike other proposals, our solution is fully distributed and self-organizing without requiring specialized servers or IP multicast support.

VoIP Traffic Shaping Analyses in Metropolitan Area Networks

This paper represents VoIP shaping analyses in devices that apply the three Quality of Service techniques – IntServ, DiffServ and RSVP. The results show queue management and packet stream shaping based on simulation of the three mostly demanded services – VoIP, LAN emulation and transaction exchange. Special attention is paid to the VoIP as the most demanding service for real time communication.

O princípio da eficiência administrativa na regulação da prestação do serviço de voz sobre internet - VoIP

The present work aims to demonstrate the link of the principle of efficiency - as expressed in the Constitution of 1988, by Constitutional Amendment No. 19 - with regulatory agencies, more specifically the ANATEL (National Telecommunications Agency). It also includes this principle’s importance to regulation - to monitor and manage public services - as well as when an activity will be considered efficient, keeping in mind that agencies are subjected to other principles of public administration. The increasing use of telephony has enabled further development of technologies that provide improvements in the provision of this service. The VoIP (Voice over IP), is nothing more than a technological breakthrough that directly targets the providers of conventional telephone service, both by modifying the business working for a long time with the same technology as the amount of new competitors’ dispute on market share. It also analyses the difficulty of understanding and definition of what is VoIP telephony, its growth and the threats that the traditional and mostly which is ANATEL’s role concerning this telephony technology. As regulator of the telecommunications service, ANATEL not yet regulated the voice telephony service using the IP protocol. What looks over the years is that ANATEL exercise its regulatory function to provide better conditions for competition among providers of VoIP and traditional telephone companies, obviously some difficulties are expected, given that VoIP is a technology that provides two services, through conventional telephony and using the internet.

e-learning in the classroom?

As teachers, we are challenged everyday to solve pedagogical problems and we have to fight for our students’ attention in a media rich world. I will talk about how we use ICT in Initial Teacher Training and give you some insight on what we are doing. The most important benefit of using ICT in education is that it makes us reflect on our practice. There is no doubt that our classrooms need to be updated, but we need to be critical about every peace of hardware, software or service that we bring into them. It is not only because our budgets are short, but also because e‐learning is primarily about learning, not technology. Therefore, we need to have the knowledge and skills required to act in different situations, and choose the best tool for the job. Not all subjects are suitable for e‐learning, nor do all students have the skills to organize themselves their own study times. Also not all teachers want to spend time programming or learning about instructional design and metadata. The promised land of easy use of authoring tools (e.g. eXe and Reload) that will lead to all teachers become Learning Objects authors and share these LO in Repositories, all this failed, like previously HyperCard, Toolbook and others. We need to know a little bit of many different technologies so we can mobilize this knowledge when a situation requires it: integrate e‐learning technologies in the classroom, not a flipped classroom, just simple tools. Lecture capture, mobile phones and smartphones, pocket size camcorders, VoIP, VLE, live video broadcast, screen sharing, free services for collaborative work, save, share and sync your files. Do not feel stressed to use everything, every time. Just because we have a whiteboard does not mean we have to make it the centre of the classroom. Start from where you are, with your preferred subject and the tools you master. Them go slowly and try some new tool in a non‐formal situation and with just one or two students. And you don’t need to be alone: subscribe a mailing list and share your thoughts with other teachers in a dedicated forum, even better if both are part of a community of practice, and share resources. We did that for music teachers and it was a success, in two years arriving at 1.000 members. Just do it.

Moodle sobre Moodle - caso de estudo sobre um curso breve, a distância, com tutoria online

Os autores criaram e vêm desenvolvendo um curso para aprendizagem da utilização do Moodle, software online e livre de gestão da aprendizagem e de trabalho colaborativo. Face ao crescimento da utilização do Moodle em Portugal e ao interesse suscitado entre professores e formadores, considerou-se que o cenário era favorável à oferta de um curso breve (cerca de 2 semanas, 21 horas de trabalho dos formandos) que recorresse ao Moodle num modelo de ensino a distância. A interacção, disponibilização de recursos e realização de actividades ocorreram quer de forma assíncrona, usando o Moodle, quer de forma síncrona, com comunicação por voz ou mensagens escritas utilizando o software VoIP Skype. O feedback dado pelos participantes que terminaram o curso sugere que as opções tomadas a nível do modelo de curso breve, estrutura do curso, recursos de aprendizagem e tipo de actividades apresentados, e ainda um elemento de intensa tutoria síncrona, criaram um clima positivo entre tutores e formandos, favorecendo o ambiente informal de aprendizagem e motivando formandos e tutores. Aspectos como avaliação, alguns dos recursos, carga horária sobre tutores e formandos, facilitação da interacção e apoio na concretização do produto final do curso podem ser melhorados, aumentando a eficiência e as aprendizagens no curso. Futuras edições terão estes elementos em conta, incorporarando a experiência dos autores e o feedback dos formandos.

Towards automated test and validation of SIP solutions

IP networks are currently the major communication infrastructure used by an increasing number of applications and heterogeneous services, including voice services. In this context, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice or video calls over IP networks, thus performing vital functions in an extensive set of public and enter- prise solutions. However, the SIP protocol dissemination also entails some challenges, such as the complexity associated with the testing/validation processes of IMS/SIP networks. As a consequence, manual IMS/SIP testing solutions are inherently costly and time consuming tasks, being crucial to develop automated approaches in this specific area. In this perspective, this article presents an experimental approach for automated testing/validation of SIP scenarios in IMS networks. For that purpose, an automation framework is proposed allowing to replicate the configuration of SIP equipment from the pro- duction network and submit such equipment to a battery of tests in the testing network. The proposed solution allows to drastically reduce the test and validation times when compared with traditional manual approaches, also allowing to enhance testing reliability and coverage. The automation framework comprises of some freely available tools which are conveniently integrated with other specific modules implemented within the context of this work. In order to illustrate the advantages of the proposed automated framework, a real case study taken from a PT Inovação customer is presented comparing the time required to perform a manual SIP testing approach with the one time required when using the proposed auto- mated framework. The presented results clearly corroborate the advantages of using the presented framework.
