Summary
VoIP networks leverage multiple protocols, and this chapter introduced such protocols as H.323, MGCP, SIP, RTP, and RTCP. VoIP components can be deployed using one of several call-processing models, such as a centralized call-processing model, where a cluster of Cisco CallManager servers reside at a central location with remote IP phones registering with the CallManager cluster over the IP WAN. Conversely, a distributed call-processing model might have a Cisco CallManager cluster at each geographic location.
A VoIP network’s scalability depends on a scalable dial plan design. This chapter examined various dial plan considerations and discussed how the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) might be adapted to a corporate environment.
