OCTOBER MONTHLY MEETING

VOICE OVER I.P. (VoIP) NETWORKS
THE TECHNOLOGY OF INTERNET TELEPHONY


Join BNUG on Tuesday October 12 as we discuss the state-of-the-art Voice
over IP (VoIP) technologies and practices. Our discussion will begin with
a brief overview of the current state of telephony, then cover network
transformation, concentrating on the latest technology available to enable
Voice over IP. We'll cover technical considerations when implementing VoIP
solutions, including transport protocols supporting VoIP today, data network
preparedness, and voice quality considerations. The session will wrap up
with a Q-and-A session and live demonstrations of VoIP using Nortel Networks
VoIP equipment.

Whether you're new to this VoIP thing and want to learn what it's all about,
or you're an experienced VoIPer, you'll find this meeting informative,
exciting, and very useful. VoIP is here to stay; come learn about and see
for yourself the state of the industry.

The meeting will be held starting at 6:30pm (for munchies/networking; meeting
