Voice and Data Internetworking

This practical, hands-on book will show you how to deploy voice over TCP-IP and voice over Frame Relay networks now! You can take advantage of your existing networks to make voice calls to and from multimedia-capable PCs, lowering your cost of communications to a per minute rate that will make the Dime Lady blush! Learn from an industry expert, with over 20 application notes included that provide the tips and techniques that make the technology a reality.

Drawing upon years of practical experience with voice and data implementation, well-known author Gil Held covers all the topics needed to implement this technology :

• Voice compression methods
