PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with cable modem and DSL services.

PSTN

Public Switched Telephone Network

i.e. the phone service we use for every ordinary phone call, or called POT (Plain Old Telephone), or circuit switched network.

RTCP

Real-time Transport Control Protocol, defined in RFC 3550, a sister protocol of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), It partners RTP in the delivery and packaging of multimedia data, but does not transport any data itself. It is used periodically to transmit control packets to participants in a streaming multimedia session. The primary function of RTCP is to provide feedback on the quality of service being provided by RTP.

RTP

Real-time Transport Protocol defines a standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet. It was developed by the Audio-Video Transport Working Group of the IETF and first published in 1996 as RFC 1889

SDP

Session Description Protocol, is a format for describing streaming media initialization parameters. It has been published by the IETF as RFC 2327.

SIP

Session Initiation Protocol, An IP telephony signaling protocol developed by the IETF (RFC3261). SIP is a text-based protocol suitable for integrated voice-data applications. SIP is designed for voice transmission and uses fewer resources and is considerably less complex than H.323.

All Grandstream products are SIP based

STUN

Simple Traversal of UDP over NATs, is a network protocol allowing clients behind NAT (or multiple NATs) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it is behind and the internet side port associated by the NAT with a particular local port. This information is used to set up UDP communication between two hosts that are both behind NAT routers. The protocol is defined in RFC 3489. STUN will usually work good with non-symmetric NAT routers.

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol, is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite. Using TCP, applications on networked hosts can create connections to one another, over which they can exchange data or packets. The protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of sender to receiver data.
