VoIP Voice over IP. The capability to carry normal telephony-style voice over an IP-based Internet with
POTS-like functionality, reliability, and voice quality. VoIP enables a router to carry voice traffic (for
example, telephone calls and faxes) over an IP network. In VoIP, the DSP segments the voice signal
into frames, which then are coupled in groups of two and stored in voice packets. VoIP is a blanket
term, which generally refers to Cisco’s standard-based (for example H.323) approach to IP voice
traffic.
