W07: Voice over IP: Challenges and Solutions

VoIP (Voice Over IP) is the technology for next generation networks supporting voice, video and multimedia services over Internet. New protocols and methods for signaling, QoS and traffic management are being defined. Recently there has been tremendous interest in the deployment of VoIP technology in the enterprises as well as residences. In contrast to PSTN, security and survivability have been great concerns for deployment of this technology in government agencies and service provider networks. In addition, support for Voice Over WLAN and mobility further complicates the security issues. Several challenges are facing this new technology for making it a reality. This workshop is designed to facilitate the exchange of key issues and solutions between researchers from Universities, Government Agencies, Service Providers and equipment manufacturers.
