Voice Over IP

Voice Over IP

• Proposed by
• Tom Anderson, Craig Schurr,
• Heather Hapes, Anthony Lucas, and
• Mauro Gonzalez

2
Project Summary

• Voice Over IP(VoIP) is a new technology that is
  quickly being adopted and improved by many
  telecommunications companies.
• VoIP allows a subscriber to use a typical
  internet connection to place telephone calls
  without having to use a traditional telephone
  system.

3
Project Summary

• The two main companies that currently provide
  this service is ATT and Vonage, these are mostly
  centered around large metropolitan areas.
• Nex-Tech Rural Telephone company is determined to
  bring these large city luxuries to small town
  folk.
• Nex-Tech currently uses VoIP in their offices but
  would like to provide it to their customers.

Project Summary

• Our main goal is to set up a lab in order to test
  quality of service
• load tests that we will create to see how much
  traffic the network will handle and how much
  bandwidth will be required on a LAN/WAN that is
  under stress
• We will also test the security of the systems
  in order to provide the best service possible to
  the customer and offer the highest level of
  privacy.

6
Equipment

• The equipment that will be used will be from
  Cisco Systems as they have proved to be the most
  reliable and also the systems we are most
  familiar with.
• Cisco 831 router, Pix Firewall, a Cisco switch
  and IP phones.
• All systems will run the most current Cisco IOS
  available. The lab will also include software to
  track, and monitor traffic, in addition to tools
  to test the security and vulnerabilities of the
  setup.

7
Objectives Setup Voice Partition on Server

• Setup a partition on the Nex-Tech server that
  will allow us to emulate a VoIP provider. This
  server is running the Sun Solaris 9 operating
  system.
• The Hardware specs include
• Hard Drive(s) Up to Four Hot swappable SCSI hard
  drives
• Ram 8Gb maximum
• Processor(s) Two 1.5GHz

8
Objectives Setup Lab Equipment

• The lab equipment will be setup at the Hays
  Nex-Tech location.
• We will be working along side Eric Helm and Chris
  Robben of Nex-Tech, he will provide access to the
  lab.

9
Analysis of VoIP Security

• packet sniffing software to test the
  vulnerabilities of the network. The end product
  will be a reliable and secure implementation for
  Nex-Techs future clients.
• Traffic monitoring will be a sub-area in two of
  our objectives.
• Through traffic monitoring we will be able to
  provide greater security and better Quality of
  Service.

10
QoS Testing

• Every member of the group has a laptop which will
  be used to create traffic. This will test the
  load capabilities of the system and also the
  capability of the bandwidth that is available.
• Four of the laptops run Windows XP
• One runs Mac OS X
• Also distro version of Linux called Knoppix will
  also be used because many quality testing tools
  are Linux based.

11
