TDM and VOIP

May 23, 2005 While noting the potential of the technology, such as lower costs and greater flexibility, the report states that those deploying VoIP must do more than just plug VoIP components into existing IP networks. The integration of a VoIP system into an already congested or overburdened network could create serious problems. A key pitfall is the assumption that because digitized voice travels in packets just like other data, existing network architectures and security measures can be used as is.
