Voice over IP is a major advancement in the field of IP communications systems technology since the advent of Internet. It is a communication technology which enables a device to transmit and receive voice traffic with the help of an IP-based network such as the Internet. Various types and deployments of Voice over IP are prevailing due to its popularity since its origin. Since its advent, it has managed to evolve and has given a platform to be benefited with its numerous advantages not only to large-scale companies or enterprises but also to small-medium companies and ordinary people.
Even though Voice over IP technology has been used by many large and small companies, there are still many small companies which might need to have Voice over IP services implemented in their offices. Even a large company might need to establish multiple branches and needs to deploy a simple Voice over IP network for its branches. The main objective of this thesis is to encourage, clarify and guide the reader to have an understanding of the concept of Voice over IP, knowledge of purpose, planning and preparation for its implementation and skills towards the configurations of the devices needed to make the Voice over IP network fully functional. This thesis focuses on the deployment of a simple voice network with a switch, a router, four IP phones, two PCs and laptops.
To have a practical approach for the configuration of the devices of the Voice over IP network, we use a virtual simulation software called Packet Tracer. It enables us to virtually simulate a real Voice over IP network giving us the facility to configure each device in the network topology so that it can be implemented later.
