A1 VoIP Requirements
Getting Started 53
Required Bandwidth for Fax Communication
Via LAN
Via WAN (PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol)
Example
Consider the following case as an example:
• Communication: via LAN
• No. of Fax Machines: 1
• Required Bandwidth for Fax Communication: 75.6 kbps
• Required Bandwidth for Voice Communication: 23.5 kbps
In this case, the required bandwidth will be as follows:
Therefore, inform your network administrator and make sure that the network can support a
bandwidth of 146.1 kbps even when the network is under conditions of maximum traffic.
Note
It is recommended that all VoIP Gateway Cards in a VoIP network have the same packet
sending interval.
A1.2 Network Configuration
You must evaluate the structure of the existing network to see if a VoIP network can be
implemented. Below are the points that should be taken into your evaluation.
Is the IP network a managed network?
A VoIP network should be implemented on a managed IP network such as Frame Relay,
Leased Line, or IP-VPN (Virtual Private Network).
An unmanaged network—that is, the Internet—cannot be used to employ a VoIP network
because delays and loss in data transmission can cause huge degradation in speech quality.
