VoIP (voice over internet protocol)
over the internet,
compared to VoIP
over private networks.
Hello, I’m Rachael Ruble
with FiberLine Communications.
Thank you for joining us
for this discussion about VoIP
(voice over internet protocol)
over the internet,
compared to VoIP over private networks.
VoIP (voice over internet protocol)
voice traffic can be transmitted
over the public internet,
across the secure network
of a telecom provider,
or via the private MPLS network
of a multi-location business.
VoIP over the public internet
has its limitations
because CoS (Class of Service)
packet prioritization
cannot be enforced on the public internet.
The result of this
is that voice traffic
is competing with all other internet traffic
throughout its journey across the public internet.
Lack of CoS packet prioritization
can often result in latency
and packet loss.
High latency and packet loss
often result in poor call quality.
Latency and packet loss
are virtually non-existent
with VoIP over the private networks
of telecom providers.
With this option,
the provider keeps
all voice traffic
on their private network,
until this traffic
reaches the PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network).
This allows the provider
to utilize CoS packet prioritization
to ensure that voice traffic
receives top priority;
and more routine,
less latency sensitive applications
receive lower priority.
The result is virtually perfect call quality.
All major telecom providers
now routinely utilize
VoIP technology for voice traffic.
With VoIP
over the private MPLS (Multiprotocol label switching)
network of a multi-location business,
CoS is ensured by the provider,
so call quality is excellent
in these situations as well.
An advantage for businesses
with VoIP over an MPLS network
is that all location-to-location
calls within each network,
regardless of distance,
are free.
This includes international
calls over an international MPLS network.
