Introduction
TCP/IP is the communications protocol used by the Internet and all Internet devices.
IP is a "connection-less" communication protocol . With IP, messages (or other data) are broken up into small independent "packets" and sent between computers via the Internet
The Internet Protocol, or IP, makes sure data on the net gets to the right place (through IP address)
Library
Alice: How to take 20 books to our room?? Bob: lets call Larry and Harry for help
Harry
Larr y
Alice room
Analogy
Library : source Alice room : destination Packets : 5 books by each character Harry/Larry calls Alice/Bob :Acknowledgement Path : different path followed by each character
VOIP
It stands for Voice over Internet Protocol It provides for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet.
It converts analog audio signals, like those heard over the phone, and turns them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet
Advantages
Reduced communication and infrastructure costs Ability to transmit more than one telephone call over a single broadband connection Routing over already existing protocols It is no longer necessary to carry both a desktop phone and a cell phone with advent of Dual-mode phones
Challenges
Quality of service - does not provide a mechanism to ensure that data packets are not lost, and are delivered in sequential order Susceptibility to power failure- VoIP telephone adapters connect to routers or cable modems which typically depend on the availability of mains electricity Unlike fixed telephone system it is difficult to locate the physical location Hackers are a potential threat
Corporate Use
In 2008, 80% of all new lines installed internationally were VoIP. Skype has begun to cater to businesses, providing freeof-charge connections between any users on the Skype network Result of research study carried out on 280 companies to understand major reasons for using VOIP (multiple responses were allowed in survey)
Conclusion
VoIP is another example of how the Internet is changing the face of communications by lowering costs and simplifying the business infrastructure. With VoIP use projected to grow, it is likely that attackers will increasingly seek out ways to exploit this technology, which is already subject to most of the same threats as data networks. If a business chooses to adopt VoIP, it should be prepared to address the lack of security features that are built into the current VoIP systems. With awareness and a commitment to security, the business can safely enjoy the cost savings that VoIP offers
