QoS Measurement-Based CAC for an IP Telephony System

  • Conference paper
Quality of Service in Heterogeneous Networks (QShine 2009)

Abstract

This work presents a Call Admission Control (CAC) system for a SIP-based IP Telephony platform. Configured for a multi-branch enterprise environment, the system enables international calls to be established in two steps: one step using Voice over IP (VoIP) through the Internet between the local office and a VoIP-PSTN gateway placed at destination country, and a second step by means of PSTN, from the gateway to the end-user, accounted with local tariffs. CAC decisions are based on Quality of Service (QoS) measurements, call tariffs and also on the number of available lines in the gateway. The CAC has been implemented within a test platform based on virtualization. Measurements to evaluate and validate CAC’s impairment on call establishment delays have been obtained.
