Transcript Voice Over IP - Fort Hays State University

Voice Over IP
Proposed by
Tom Anderson, Craig Schurr,
Heather Hapes, Anthony Lucas, and
Mauro Gonzalez
Project Summary
• Voice Over IP(VoIP) is a new technology that is
quickly being adopted and improved by many
telecommunications companies.
• VoIP allows a subscriber to use a typical internet
connection to place telephone calls without having
to use a traditional telephone system.
Project Summary
• The two main companies that currently provide
this service is AT&T and Vonage, these are
mostly centered around large metropolitan
areas.
• Nex-Tech Rural Telephone company is
determined to bring these “large city luxuries” to
small town folk.
• Nex-Tech currently uses VoIP in their offices but
would like to provide it to their customers.
VoIP Network
Project Summary
• Our main goal is to set up a lab in order to test
quality of service
• load tests that we will create to see how much traffic the
network will handle and how much bandwidth will be
required on a LAN/WAN that is under stress
•
We will also test the security of the systems in order to
provide the best service possible to the customer and offer
the highest level of privacy.
Equipment
• The equipment that will be used will be from Cisco
Systems as they have proved to be the most reliable
and also the systems we are most familiar with.
• Cisco 831 router, Pix Firewall, a Cisco switch and IP phones.
• All systems will run the most current Cisco IOS
available. The lab will also include software to track,
and monitor traffic, in addition to tools to test the
security and vulnerabilities of the setup.
Objectives: Setup Voice Partition on Server
• Setup a partition on the Nex-Tech server that
will allow us to emulate a VoIP provider. This
server is running the Sun Solaris 9 operating
system.
The Hardware specs include:
• Hard Drive(s): Up to Four Hot swappable SCSI hard
drives
• Ram: 8Gb maximum
• Processor(s): Two 1.5GHz
Objectives: Setup Lab Equipment
• The lab equipment will be setup at the Hays
Nex-Tech location.
• We will be working along side Eric Helm and
Chris Robben of Nex-Tech, he will provide
access to the lab.
Analysis of VoIP Security
• packet sniffing software to test the
vulnerabilities of the network. The end product
will be a reliable and secure implementation for
Nex-Tech’s future clients.
• Traffic monitoring will be a sub-area in two of
our objectives.
• Through traffic monitoring we will be able to
provide greater security and better Quality of
Service.
QoS Testing
• Every member of the group has a laptop which
will be used to create traffic. This will test the
load capabilities of the system and also the
capability of the bandwidth that is available.
• Four of the laptops run Windows XP
• One runs Mac OS X;
• Also distro version of Linux called Knoppix will
also be used because many quality testing tools
are Linux based.
Timeline
• February:
• Proposal for Nex-Tech Panel
• Setup Physical Lab; configuration of Router, Switch,
and etc.
• March:
• Finalize configuration and installation of software
• Begin load test and research
• April:
• Make changes to the network based on results of
testing
• Finalize all testing and modifications and Backup
network configurations.
Timeline
• April and May:
• Deadlines:
• Complete website
• Collect all data gathered including video and
photographs of lab as the project progressed
• Complete Final written draft of all findings and tests.
• Turn in final written draft to Nex-Tech
• Present to Nex-Tech Panel
• Final Capstone Presentation at Fort Hays State
University
