NEW EDITION OF---CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS CUT-TO-THE-CHASE STYLE
In the race to put carrier-quality voice over IP (VoIP)——those using this book run faster and falter less. International expert Daniel Collins’ greatly enhanced Carrier Grade Voice over IP brings you leading-edge signaling schemes, protocol apps, and quality of service (QoS) techniques—and more importantly, the answers to making them work together.

* Use ITU and IETF protocols to build next-generation networks
* Enable advanced features and services, including expanded SIP coverage
* Provide wireline-quality service with resource reservation schemes and QoS techniques, including the latest information on MPLS advances
* Overcome limitations inherent in IP
* Seamlessly interwork VoIP systems with traditional telephony networks
* Design real-world VoIP networks (new chapter)
* Pull the pieces together into a system that works—and does not break
Complete with numerous specific examples of how the protocols are used and integrated, this just-in-time guide supplies the solutions you need to roll out competitive quality VoIP.

Format:Paperback
Top Marks for this highly readable and clear intro to Voice over IP. The subject matter is dealt with in reasonable detail and the author achieves great clarity in explaining difficult technical concepts. He also delves a bit into the history and background which also helps to put the subject matter in context. He even adds a small example of how to go about dimensioning a VOIP network at the end of the book.
Format:Paperback
Collins presents a logical, piece-by-piece explanation of VoIP, referencing Industry documentation & using easy to understand explanations & examples. He also clearly has a thorough understanding of ISDN/POTS telephony...something which is often missing in other authors. This allows him to clearly elucidate how VoIP is likely to integrate with todays circuit switched networks. An excellant book that I would recommend as being especially useful for "Circuit Switched" people wanting a jargon free entry into the VoIP space!

Very much self contained
10 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Great book on VoIP, still emerging technology. It did a great job in explaining concepts related to QoS such as RSVP, DiffServ and MPLS. Right from basics such as IP, UDP, TCP and various coding techniques you will find great explanation to each and every item. If you are interested in knowing about VoIP or you if u wanna work on VoIP this is the ONLY book you need. There is very detailed and neat explanation related to MGCP, MEGACO, SS7 and SIP too. The only thing that i felt lacking is testing of voice quality both subjective and objective and how they could be done. No doubt in giving 5 *s to it, great job!

Excellent
8 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
Aimed specifically at designers of public telecommunications networks, this easy to read book provides practical and useful hands-on information. Where necessary, topics are covered in great detail. For example, 120 pages are dedicated to H.323. Softswitch architecture and programming are covered, and 55 pages are devoted to discussing Quality of Service issues.
We believe this book to be an essential read, and recommend it highly.

Great explanation of the latest VoIP technology
28 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Daniel Collins has done a great job of explaining the latest VoIP technology. He uses a lot of call flow diagrams, which I find particularly useful in understanding how the various protocols work. In addition, his writing style is very clear, such that he makes it easy to understand what he is talking about. Not only does he address the most recent developments in the technology (eg. SIP, MGCP, MEGACO), he also does a good job of explaining how these technologies can fit with what is already in place (eg. H323 as well as traditional networks). In this regard, the chapter concerning SS7 is useful, although some focus on TALI as well as Sigtran would have been beneficial. - Overall, a good book that I would recommend to anyone who wants to understand VoIP.
