Voice Over IP
Proposed by Tom Anderson, Craig Schurr, Heather Hapes, Anthony Lucas, and Mauro Gonzalez
Project Summary
• Voice Over IP(VoIP) is a new technology that is quickly being adopted and improved by many telecommunications companies.
• VoIP allows a subscriber to use a typical internet connection to place telephone calls without having to use a traditional telephone system.
Project Summary
• The two main companies that currently provide this service is AT&T and Vonage, these are mostly centered around large metropolitan areas.
• Nex-Tech Rural Telephone company is determined to bring these “large city luxuries” to small town folk.
• Nex-Tech currently uses VoIP in their offices but would like to provide it to their customers.
VoIP Network
Project Summary
• Our main goal is to set up a lab in order to test
quality of service • load tests that we will create to see how much traffic the
network will handle and how much bandwidth will be
required on a LAN/WAN that is under stress
• We will also test the security of the systems in order to
provide the best service possible to the customer and offer
the highest level of privacy.
Equipment• The equipment that will be used will be from Cisco
Systems as they have proved to be the most reliable and also the systems we are most familiar with. • Cisco 831 router, Pix Firewall, a Cisco switch and IP phones.
• All systems will run the most current Cisco IOS available. The lab will also include software to track, and monitor traffic, in addition to tools to test the security and vulnerabilities of the setup.
Objectives: Setup Voice Partition on Server
• Setup a partition on the Nex-Tech server that will allow us to emulate a VoIP provider. This server is running the Sun Solaris 9 operating system.
The Hardware specs include:• Hard Drive(s): Up to Four Hot swappable SCSI hard
drives• Ram: 8Gb maximum• Processor(s): Two 1.5GHz
Objectives: Setup Lab Equipment
• The lab equipment will be setup at the Hays Nex-Tech location.
• We will be working along side Eric Helm and Chris Robben of Nex-Tech, he will provide access to the lab.
Analysis of VoIP Security
• packet sniffing software to test the vulnerabilities of the network. The end product will be a reliable and secure implementation for Nex-Tech’s future clients.
• Traffic monitoring will be a sub-area in two of our objectives.
• Through traffic monitoring we will be able to provide greater security and better Quality of Service.
QoS Testing
• Every member of the group has a laptop which will be used to create traffic. This will test the load capabilities of the system and also the capability of the bandwidth that is available.
• Four of the laptops run Windows XP
• One runs Mac OS X;
• Also distro version of Linux called Knoppix will also be used because many quality testing tools are Linux based.
Timeline
• February:• Proposal for Nex-Tech Panel• Setup Physical Lab; configuration of Router, Switch,
and etc.
• March:• Finalize configuration and installation of software• Begin load test and research
• April:• Make changes to the network based on results of
testing• Finalize all testing and modifications and Backup
network configurations.
Timeline
• April and May:• Deadlines:• Complete website• Collect all data gathered including video and
photographs of lab as the project progressed• Complete Final written draft of all findings and tests.• Turn in final written draft to Nex-Tech• Present to Nex-Tech Panel• Final Capstone Presentation at Fort Hays State
University
