Introduction:
As networking technology continues to advance, a new application that started in the late 1990s has attracted a lot of people and businesses due to its cost savings in making long distance phone calls. That application is called Voice over IP. It is an umbrella term for a set of technologies that allow voice traffic to be carried over the Internet.
This research paper will address the questions of what is Voice over IP, how does it work, how many ways we can place a phone call using it, what are the prices and features, and what are the advantages and disadvantage of using Voice over IP. This paper will also show the principles behind Voice over IP, its applications and the potential of this emerging technology, which might be replacing the traditional phone system sometime soon in the future.
