whitepaper Implementing the VoIP Network2005-08-01 Network General
  Implementing the VoIP Network focuses on the issues to consider before you jump in to your first Voice over IP (VoIP) deployment, including existing network utilization, planning for new applications, network design, and interoperability testing. This white paper examines the concepts, operation and analysis of converged networks. A converged network — one that combines voice, data, and other signal transmissions into a single, higher-speed network interface — is more complex than a single-purpose voice or data network. Because of this challenge, the design, implementation and testing of this infrastructure requires rigorous attention to details in order to present the end users with an acceptable Quality of Service (QoS).

whitepaper Diagnosing Performance Overheads in the Xen Virtual Machine Environment2005-06-11 Association for Computing Machinery
  Virtual Machine (VM) environments (e.g., VMware and Xen) are experiencing a resurgence of interest for diverse uses including server consolidation and shared hosting. An application's performance in a virtual machine environment can differ markedly from its performance in a non-virtualized environment because of interactions with the underlying virtual machine monitor and other virtual machines. However, few tools are currently available to help debug performance problems in virtual machine environments. This paper presents Xenoprof, a system-wide statistical profiling toolkit implemented for the Xen virtual machine environment.
