Voice Over IP

WinNuke Attack. - This attack attempts to completely disable networking on computers that are running Windows 95 or Windows NT. This attack can be swift and crippling because it uses common Microsoft NetBIOS services. WinNuke attacks ports 135 to port 139 on platforms that are based on Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Buffer Overflow. - This attack overflows the internal buffers of the application by sending more traffic than the buffers can process. This attack can contain a program at the end of a packet which can run and attack the system.

Voice Over IP

For servers running VPNos 4.2 or later, use the VoIP tab to enable or disable Voice over IP (VoIP) and to configure the gatekeeper properties. Definition of the gatekeeper location is with respect to the internal or external firewall definition. Beginning with VPNos Feature Pack 4.31, use the VoIP property to configure the IP trunking properties. You can add, modify, or delete IP trunking configurations.

Voice over IP uses the Internet Protocol to transmit voice as packets over an IP network. So VoIP can be achieved on any data network that uses IP (Internet, Intranets, and Local Area Networks). Here the voice signal is digitized, compressed and converted to IP packets and then transmitted over the IP network. Signaling protocols are used to set up and tear down calls, carry information required to locate users and negotiate capabilities. One of the main motivations for Internet telephone is the low cost involved.

Using the IP Trunking Call Model

The IP Trunking call model should be used when there is an IP Trunk configured between gatekeepers at separate locations and the call signaling messages (i.e. H.225 and Q.931 packets) between those gatekeepers is NATed by the device.
