The quality
of experience that you and your users have with the phone system is closely
related to the perceived quality of each call. Call quality is not a completely
objective measurement, and thus it is important to understand some of the
different standards for voice quality and the methods used to evaluate it.

VoIP has a
unique set of performance requirements that make it a challenge for any data
network. Understanding the operation of core VoIP protocols is a first step in
understanding the performance requirements that VoIP places on your network.

Addressing
Echo in VoIP Systems

|
Understanding and Monitoring Echo Cancellation for
Optimal VoIP Performance |
|
|
NetQoS |
|
|
Echo is a difficult problem and not one that can be
readily solved without access to the end-to-end circuit. Echo
cancellation devices at the boundary of the VoIP system attempt to
reduce echo that is of no concern in the PSTN so that it cannot be
heard in the IP telephony environment. NetQoS VoIP Monitor provides
a quick, overall rating of the success of this effort in the form of
ACOM values for all gateway calls made on the monitored network, as
well as some additional details, such as ERL, Signal In, and Signal
Out, that are essential for troubleshooting echo problems.

NetQoS is dedicated to performance analysis and
performance management. The company’s SuperAgent module - part of
NetQoS Performance Center - was a pioneer in the appliance-based
monitoring market. The solution will especially appeal to network

Four Simple

Unlike putting off a
trip to the dentist, the consequences of a poorly documented network
affect hundreds of users or customers. Most often, it results in
confusion and involves extra time and effort when it comes to
network expansion and troubleshooting. For some businesses, it has
even hurt the bottom line.

Meet the Swiss Army knife for network and

tools. The most powerful and complex of these is the Latency Calculator.
It models a client-server environment, where both client and server are
attached to local area networks, and each network is attached to a
router, where the client-side and server-side routers are attached
through some kind of wide area link.
