Are You Ready for VoIP?

In the last year, there has been a groundswell on the part of networking organizations to deploy Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this groundswell in enthusiasm does not negate the fact that the successful deployment of VoIP requires a more robust network infrastructure both in the LAN and in the WAN than many companies have currently deployed. This session describes what you need to have in your network in order to be successful with both deploying and managing VoIP.

(These are the handouts from the session presented at the ComNet conference in Washington, DC, in January, 2002.)
