Introduction

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol.

TCP/IP is the communications protocol used by the Internet and all Internet devices.

Internet Protocol (IP)

IP is a "connection-less" communication protocol . With IP, messages (or other data) are broken up into small independent "packets" and sent between computers via the Internet

The Internet Protocol, or IP, makes sure data on the net gets to the right place (through IP address)

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP):


Establishes a full duplex (two way) connection between the computers Reorders packets at destination Acknowledges the packets sent

Responsible for terminating the session


Provides Reliablity to transmission

Library

Alice: How to take 20 books to our room?? Bob: lets call Larry and Harry for help

Harry

Larr y

Lets all take up 5 books. We all meet in Alice room

Harry calls Alice and Bob

Harry : Hey! I have delivered your book


Harry

Similarly, Larry calls Alice and Bob

Alice room

Alice and Bob separates their book in Alice room.

Analogy

Library : source Alice room : destination Packets : 5 books by each character Harry/Larry calls Alice/Bob :Acknowledgement Path : different path followed by each character

VOIP

It stands for Voice over Internet Protocol It provides for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet.

It converts analog audio signals, like those heard over the phone, and turns them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet

How does it work


The steps involved in originating a VoIP telephone call are signalling and media channel setup, digitization of the analog voice signal, encoding, packetization, and transmission as Internet Protocol (IP) packets over a packet-switched network.

Advantages

Reduced communication and infrastructure costs Ability to transmit more than one telephone call over a single broadband connection Routing over already existing protocols It is no longer necessary to carry both a desktop phone and a cell phone with advent of Dual-mode phones

Challenges

Quality of service - does not provide a mechanism to ensure that data packets are not lost, and are delivered in sequential order Susceptibility to power failure- VoIP telephone adapters connect to routers or cable modems which typically depend on the availability of mains electricity Unlike fixed telephone system it is difficult to locate the physical location Hackers are a potential threat

Corporate Use

In 2008, 80% of all new lines installed internationally were VoIP. Skype has begun to cater to businesses, providing freeof-charge connections between any users on the Skype network Result of research study carried out on 280 companies to understand major reasons for using VOIP (multiple responses were allowed in survey)

Conclusion

VoIP is another example of how the Internet is changing the face of communications by lowering costs and simplifying the business infrastructure. With VoIP use projected to grow, it is likely that attackers will increasingly seek out ways to exploit this technology, which is already subject to most of the same threats as data networks. If a business chooses to adopt VoIP, it should be prepared to address the lack of security features that are built into the current VoIP systems. With awareness and a commitment to security, the business can safely enjoy the cost savings that VoIP offers
