Current state network evaluation
VoIP capacity planning process starts with gathering network data and developing baseline of your existing network infrastructure. Each network device that will transmit data traffic has to be clearly identified. Without knowing your current network utilisation, it is impossible to accurately forecast how adding voice traffic will impact that utilisation. We perform a standard bandwidth monitoring using protocol analysers that provide good basic information on how much bandwidth you're using and help identify potential problems.
VoIP traffic forecast
Once you have a data traffic information, we can begin to forecast potential VoIP traffic that will actually impact your network. We perform a detailed analysis using a variety of VoIP-specific tools. We can monitor for VoIP problems such as jitter and delay. Jitter is the measurement of transit delay in voice packets and can be caused by many reasons.
PSTN connectivity
During our VoIP capacity planning, we'll need to determine if remote locations will continue to have PSTN connectivity or if that connectivity will be consolidated at a central location. All phone calls would pass through WAN links to a central location where the calls would proceed out the associated PSTN gateway. Centralising PSTN connectivity can simplify VoIP network planning and consolidating hardware can decrease costs and increase redundancy.
Hardware considerations
The last step is to carefully evaluate existing hardware infrastructure and future hardware needs. Adding VoIP to a network will increase overall traffic. We must ensure the network's core infrastructure and distribution-level points can handle the increase. All phones will establish 100Mbps, full duplex connections to the main switch. Most modern Ethernet hardware can currently support this connection type.

Historically, voice and data traffic have been managed as separate technologies: voice using circuit-switching technology, and data using packet-switching technology. A new mode of voice transport — Voice Over IP— holds the promise of lowering transmission costs, improving asset utilization, and simplifying maintenance by combining voice and data traffic over a common, standards-based infrastructure.
Convergence is happening. Private network providers are engineering their services to accommodate voice grade requirements. Switch manufacturers are building VoIP interfaces for their existing TDM-based systems or building new ones. The entire telecommunications equipment industry is in the middle of a massive transformation to this new architecture. The key issue is when and how your organization should adopt VoIP.
We can help you develop a migration strategy for VoIP. Together, we’ll answer these questions:
- What business benefits you can expect, and what is your tolerance for risk?
- What are your architecture and system requirements?
- What are the technical, installation, operational, and support issues surrounding your VoIP initiatives?
- How can you best collaborate with your vendor partners on implementation plans and migration strategies to address your embedded technology?
VoIP requires support from different groups within your organization — desktop, telecom, LAN/WAN, security, network service providers. We help you create an effective implementation team and support infrastructure to make your VoIP implementation a success.
