A Solution for Evaluating the QoS of Voice over IP: Measurements, Analysis and Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this chapter, we present a solution for evaluating the Quality of Services (QoS) of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). First, we present an introduction to the main concepts and mathematical background relating to QoS and Internet Protocol (IP) traffic nature, which subsequently are used in the measurements, analysis, and modeling of VoIP traffic. Secondly, we analyze network measurements and the result of the simulation in order to characterize the VoIP traffic nature. As results of this analysis, it is shown that VoIP jitter can be modeled by alpha-stable distributions and self-similar processes, with either Short or Long Range Dependence (i.e., SRD or LRD). Thirdly, we investigate the packet loss effects on the VoIP jitter, and present a methodology for simulating packet loss on VoIP jitter. Finally, we found an empirical relationship between the Hurst parameter (H) and the Packet Loss Rate (PLR); this relationship is based on voice traffic measurements and can be modeled by means of a power-law function with three fitted parameters.

Deployment of VoIP Technology: QoS Concerns
Voice over IP (VoIP) is an emerging communication service allowing voice transmission over a private or a public IP network. VoIP allows significant benefits for customers and service providers including cost savings, phone and service portability, mobility, and the integration with other applications. Nevertheless, the deployment of the VoIP technology encounters many challenges such as intero...
متن کاملQoS with an Edge-Based Call Admission Control in IP Networks
Central to the viability of providing traditional services over IP networks is the capability to deliver some level of end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) to the applications and users. IP networks continue to struggle to migrate from a cost effective best effort data service solution to revenue generating solutions for QoS-sensitive applications such as voice and real-time video. For the case ...
متن کاملAssessment of voice over IP as a solution for voice over ADSL
This paper compares VoATM and VoIP in terms of their suitability for carrying voice traffic over DSL. ATM is currently the preferred protocol due to its built-in QoS mechanisms. Through simulations we show that IP QoS mechanisms can also be used to achieve comparable performance for voice traffic over DSL. Our performance metrics are the ETE delay of voice packets across the DSL access networ...
متن کاملTraffic Analysis for Voice in Wireless IP Networks
In this paper we provide an extensive analysis of voice service in wireless IP networks. Voice traffic is serviced with priority over the rest of the traffic. Hence, we concentrate on the voice traffic in the analysis. We model the packetized voice traffic with Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP), and we propose an analytical framework for its analysis in wireless networks. Also, we created...
متن کاملVoice over the Software Defined Cognitive Packet Network
Voice over IP (VOIP) networks have strict Quality of Service (QoS) constraints and require real-time packet delivery which poses a major challenge to IP networks. The Cognitive Packet Network (CPN) has been designed as a Software Defined Network Substrate that provides user-oriented QoS by adaptively routing packets based on online sensing and measurement. We therefore design and evaluate a “Vo...
