Voice over IP telephony} services over {IP}, including {CODECs}, {streaming} {protocols} and {session control}. The major advantage of VoIP is lower cost, by avoiding dedicated voice circuits. Currently VoIP is being deployed on internal corporate networks, and, via the {Internet}, for low cost (and low quality) international calls. It is also used for telephony applications such as voice and fax mail. The {ITU} standard is {H.323}, which is a whole suite of protocols, while the {IETF} has developed the much simpler {SIP} to solve the session control problem and {MGCP}/{Megaco} to solve the gateway problem.
