whitepaper Securing Voice Networks2008-07-22 Global Knowledge
  Converged voice and data communication can be more secure than traditional PSTN communication with proper planning and design. Voice-related threats include toll fraud, denial of service attacks, impersonation exploits, and eavesdropping. This white paper discusses some voice-related threats and mechanisms available to deal with them, including network infrastructure, endpoints, call management, and voice applications.

whitepaper Key Application - Shared Outbound (Point-to-Multipoint): Using the Vocality Multiplexer/Router Over Point-to-Multipoint Networks Efficiently Using Large Outbound/Small Inbound Architecture2008-06-12 Vocality International
  This white paper provides an overview of a system configuration achievable through a combination of hardware from Vocality and traditional SCPC satellite modems. Satellite users such as welfare deployments or Satellite News Gathering truck operators will see immediate benefit from the flexible nature of the system design, allowing easy to configure voice, data and clean feed audio to be transmitted to or from remote to the central hub site - with a migration path which will allow MPEG 4 video to be transmitted over IP alongside the communications router services.

whitepaper Voice Architectures and Deployment Models2008-06-09 Global Knowledge
  As companies migrate from traditional telephony to Voice over IP (VoIP), there are more design decisions to make when choosing the most appropriate implementation type. The choices include variations of centralized or distributed architectures, as well as a choice of call control protocols. This Cisco training white paper explains some of the choices and their pros and cons.

whitepaper Converged Solutions white paper from Stratecast/Frost & Sullivan2008-06-06 Sprint
  In the communications industry, convergence refers to the integration of communication - voice, video, and data - onto a single (IP-based) network. From convergence, more advanced and efficient means of communication emerge.

This paper from Stratecast describes the attributes of a true customer-centric convergence solution. From these attributes, a framework to measure and compare communication service providers' (CSPs') convergence solutions is constructed. The paper concludes with an attribute review of Sprint's approach to true convergence.

whitepaper Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a QoS-Aware Transport Protocol2008-06-04 University of New South Wales
  In the context of a reconfigurable transport protocol framework, the paper proposes a QoS-aware Transport Protocol (QSTP), specifically designed to operate over QoS-enabled networks with bandwidth guarantee. QSTP combines QoS-aware TFRC congestion control mechanism, which takes into account the network-level bandwidth reservations, with a Selective ACKnowledgment (SACK) mechanism in order to provide a QoS-aware transport service that fill the gap between QoS enabled network services and QoS constraint applications. The paper has developed a prototype of this protocol in the user-space and conducted a large range of measurements to evaluate this proposal under various network conditions.

whitepaper Addressing Heterogeneity, Scalability, and Privacy in Layered Multicast Congestion Control2008-05-15 AT&T Labs-Research
  Multicast is attracting a resurgence of interest because it has a potential to address the explosively growing need for efficient streaming of large-volume Internet content. However, to realize the potential, large-scale multicast distribution requires effective congestion control. This paper designs SIM, a protocol that combines three distinct mechanisms (Selective participation, Intra-group transmission adjustment, and Menu adaptation) to provide a general solution for efficient fair scalable privacy-preserving multicast congestion control with heterogeneous receivers. Whereas the individual mechanisms have appeared in earlier multicast protocols, the main contribution lies in the cohesive integration of the techniques. SIM achieves such integration by operating the three mechanisms at different timescales and distributing the responsibility for control to different entities in the network.

whitepaper IP Multicast Best Practices for Enterprise Customers2008-05-01 Cisco Systems
  With the growing popularity of IP Multicast applications, Enterprise customers are considering deploying or have already deployed IP Multicast in their networks. This paper describes the generally accepted best common practices for IP Multicast in Enterprise customer networks. It describes ways to optimize multicast delivery according to basic design principals including resiliency, redundancy, latency and security.   
whitepaper Benefits of Unified Messaging in Exchange Server 20072008-04-28 Global Knowledge
  Unified Messaging integrates different streams of communication (e-mail, fax, video, SMS, voice, etc.) into a single, or, unified "message store," that is accessible from a wide range of different devices. Through unified messaging, users can increase productivity using a wide range of devices. The best part is they can do it from almost anywhere, utilizing time that might otherwise have gone to waste. There are more that just a few ways that unified messaging features of Exchange Server 2007 deliver benefits. This white paper introduces some of the benefits Exchange Server 2007 delivers, including communication integration and increased information accessibility.
