Traffic partition for VoIP

IP telephony is a method for the revision of speech signals in digital IP packets and send it to the final destination by cyberspace. Bandwidth for digital packages partitioning can be done dynamically. If users in traffic class are active, create sub-partitions on the fly.

In recent years except one - innovation has to change everything in the telecommunications industry. He has enforced a concept planning and implementation of ideas, after the other. Successful implementation of an idea led to the beneficial implementation of another. The trend continues and who knows what we see in the future.

IP telephony is one of the major ideas that have left a big impression in the industry. Popularly known as VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol), it is a method for the revision of speech signals in digital IP packets and send it to the final destination by cyberspace. A low-cost method of communication is quickly progressing the VoIP technology. As it runs on server, can bring it with other applications in a variety of other lucrative benefits be integrated.

On the Internet sent digital VoIP packages require a certain amount of bandwidth to the transmission quality be acceptable. Traffic partition for the VoIP class manages the aggregated traffic and the parallel processes for the class. The partition is combined with an exchange rate policy, which defines a minimum rate for each flow. This ensures that VoIP has sufficient bandwidth support multiple data flows during a session. Since these reserved part of the bandwidth the conversation would be choppy.

Bandwidth digital packages can be assigned dynamically. If users in traffic class are active, create sub-partitions on the fly. This technology allows service providers to ensure users a minimal amount of bandwidth at all times. This strategy is effective if a small number of users will be active in a period of time. For example, a service provider has 30,000 customers with a few thousand users logged on at any given time. With dynamic partition technology, part partitions are created automatically for users as they log on. To accommodate new users if the ceiling is reached, the bandwidth for active users will release removed the older non-active subpartition.

You can create also static partitions. Allows a defined amount of bandwidth use this type of partition an aggregated traffic class. Static partition ensures a certain amount of bandwidth for each digital box and traffic on the same level limited. It is called a burstable partition another option. It allows an aggregated traffic class, a defined amount of bandwidth to use, and additional unused bandwidth access, if necessary.

All partitions are hierarchical, which means that partitions can contain subpartitions. The approach allows for application management for multiple groups, which can be controlled as a whole. For example, a service provider can assign different amounts of bandwidth for a given application to different groups of users. The basic concept for hierarchical partitions is that on the parent partition, child partition limit minimum. If the sum of the child partitions exceeds the minimum size of the parent partition, proportionally scale the child partitions.

Whereas information about switching partitions, a VoIP technology experts advised. You have experience in hosted / partitioned softswitch technology, well versed with VoIP gateways interconnection and switching.
