Identifying the Requirements of Voice and Video Technologies

Various factors that affect voice traffic must be analyzed to create a proper integrated network design. The following sections focus on the types of delay, bandwidth restrictions, and quality of service (QoS) issues that affect voice communications. They discuss the importance of encoding, which affects bandwidth consumption and voice and video quality. These sections also introduce mechanisms that impact voice and video quality.

To design a network to transport voice and video, delay, packet loss, jitter, and the impact that QoS can have on maintaining voice quality need to be analyzed.
