This paper presents actual implementations of packet voice communication systems over two types of PC based local area networks. One is a token-passing ring network and the other is an Ethernet network. The system configuration, system operation and system performance analysis is described for both networks. A formula for the maximum allowable number of active voice stations is presented for both systems.The last part of the paper describes a proposed design for a distributed packet voice communications protocol. The protocol presented deals with the higher levels of the communication system. The purpose of the protocol is to establish and maintain a telephone conversation between two users by using the underlying network services.
