“…Beyond the location of where services are implemented, we can distinguish whether end nodes are forced to use network servers or whether they "voluntarily" make use of these services. The various media gateway control protocols such as the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) [5] require the end system to be controlled by a network server. Peer-to-peer protocols like H.323 and SIP allow the use of serversgatekeepers [6] and proxy/redirect servers [7], respectively -but also enables two end systems to connect directly, without help of a third party.…”

“…Alternatively, the Intelligent Peripheral can serve solely as a media gateway. The SCP, having full knowledge of the call on the telephone network side can serve as a call agent, or media gateway controller [5] on the Internet side to handle the invitation of the Internet user to the call. In this way, the URI information does not need to be delivered to the Intelligent Peripheral, only the voice data.…”

We describe some of the challenges and problems as we move from the world of plain old telephony services (POTS) to the promise of Internet-based pretty amazing new services (PANS). We present a set of ideas that relate the architectural evolution of networks and services to the underlying changes in technology. After examining the motivations behind the drive to Internet multimedia communications, we discuss the distribution of service intelligence in the future communications architecture. As with any period of evolution, thorny problems arise regarding interworking between the two network architectures. A brief exploration of the Intelligent Network (IN) is presented as a solution to address interworking. Finally, we examine how the transition to an Internet-based system might affect how transport and services are billed for.

“…I N RECENT years, Internet telephony or voice-over IP is attracting an increasing amount of attention for the reason that it has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of long-distance voice communication [10], [24]. Architectures for realtime audiovisual communication are proposed in [2], [8], [11], [17], [19], [25], [30], [31], and [34] to provide telephony services over packet-based networks. Among others, ITU-T Recommendation H.323 [17], [22], [32] is the primary standard for the Internet telephony.…”

“…This tutorial does not cover the protocols that allow controllers and signaling gateways (gateways connecting to the PSTN at the signaling layer) to communicate. Proposals for such protocols are being discussed within the IETF at this time, including MGCP [2] and MDCP [3]. Other protocols, such as those for billing and authentication, are also beyond the scope of this survey.…”

Internet telephony was first used as a simple way to provide point-to-point voice transport between two IP hosts. However, the growing interest in providing integrated voice, data, and video services has caused its scope to be expanded. Internet telephony now encom asses a range of services, including not only traditional conferencing, call contror multimedia, and mobility services, but also new ones that integrate Web, e-mail, presence, and instant messagin a plications with telephony. Internet telephony and traditional circuit-switcheJtePephony will coexist for quite some time, requiring interworking between the two. In this article we present a suite of protocols, developed in the IETF, which provide a partial solution to this complex problem.nternet telephony was first used as a simple way to provide point-to-point voice transport between two IP hosts, primarily to replace expensive international phone calls.
