Abstract

Creation of a video environment for the organization is required. This should be convergent network which can be fixed without incurring a lot of cost on installations or changing the existing network architecture. The number of channels also needs to be increased. One circuit should be enhanced with IP based technology to have a maximum number of channels where communication can take place.

Reducing the cost of running the company by ensuring that video conferencing can be set up in at least main branches of Rapid Freight will subjugate traveling allowances for meetings or wasting of time. The technologies for this should be efficient and cheaper. Provide for technologies which give room for scalability as Rapid Freight is growing increasingly. This should cover for future expansion utilizing bandwidth by converging different technologies. LAN can be used within a branch and an ISDN between organizations. This includes approaching an IP/VoIP provider.

[...] This will accommodate the increasing number of Rapid Freight employees. The PBX is configured to terminate to an IP/VoIP provider. IP software has to be installed usually from vendors like CISCO. If Cisco is used to implement the IP over ISDN, in response of bandwidth demand ISDN allows for the B channels to be drooped or added. When also performing voice over ISDN, reordering of packets needs to be managed by Multi Class Multilink PPP (MCMP). It gives interleaving packets a header number with a sequence number. [...]

[...] VoIP Phishing - By using IP spoofing a criminal or hacker can acquire useful information from the packets sent over the network. Mitigating IP/VoIP risks In the case of Rapid Freight WAN to mitigate DoS attacks, a separate VPN (virtual private network) should be created for voice traffic, the VPN is then protected (e.g. via bandwidth reservation) from malicious external traffic. Use of secure signaling (used to create session between two end points) protocols can also mitigate attacks. Example of an effective protocol resistant to attack is SIP (session initiation protocol). Other signaling standards can also be used like H.323. [...]

[...] Convergent Solution The convergent solution is the integration IP infrastructure and ISDN. IP/ISDN convergent has been used since the service provider is not IP based, but ISDN based. The ISDN-only technology is costly and would be rejected by Rapid Freight which is already experiencing costing problems. The implementation of the IP telephony has also made it possible for many channels to be established for voice, video and data. The channels cannot be reserved for video or data and they are available on-demand. [...]
