Abstract

In this paper, we address issues related to implementing Voice-over-IP (VoIP) services in packet switching networks. VoIP has been identified as a critical real-time application in the network QoS research community and has been implemented in commercial products. To provide competent quality of service for VoIP, the call admission control (CAC) mechanism has to be introduced to prevent packet losing and over-queuing. Several well-designed CAC mechanisms, such as the Site-Utilization-Based CAC and the link-utilization-based CAC mechanisms, are in place. However, the existing commercial VoIP systems have not been able to adequately apply and support these CAC mechanisms, and hence unable to provide QoS guarantees to VoIP. We have designed and implemented a QoS-Provisioning system that can be seamlessly integrated to the existing VoIP system to overcome its weakness in offering QoS guarantees. As a result, our system has been realized at Internet2 Voice OverIP Testbed in Texas A&M University.
