VOIP Port Number

What port does VOIP run at?

For example SMTP runs on 25, FTP runs on 21.

Is there a particular port that VOIP runs on.

We are planning to use VOIP phones in our office, I want to do a port
forwarding in my router, where the VOIP traffic is automatically sent
to a particular IP address.

 

Depends on the type of VOIP.

H.323 uses 1719 and 1720 for signalling, dynamic ports for media.
SIP tends to use 5060 for signalling, dynamic again for media.

Simple port forwarding doesn't fit very well with these protocols.

 

VOIP is a complex solution - it is running as a combination of different
protocols: H323, H225, H245, SCCP, MGCP etc.
Every protocol have its own port. Also if you have DMZ or firewall on path
of the voip packet, you need to consider impact of the firewall
to the traversing packets. And don't forget about the QoS for your network.

It depends on which protocol you are using. For me, I have setup several
VoIPBlaster (VB) devices + the driver and client/server software developed
by David of Fobbit (http://fobbit.org) in my private LAN using the Linksys
BEFSR41 Firewall+NAT router to share a broadband connection over a single
public IP address. This software uses a non-standard handshaking protocol
and it defaults to ports 8008 (TCP), 8009 (TCP), and 8010 (UDP). For each
VB unit in my private LAN, I assigned ports >= 1024, i.e. 8012/3/4/5/6/7
(TCP/UDP), so they all can place/receive calls at the same time or
concurrently.

As I said above, I can have my VB run on any un-assigned port, even port 14.
However, since the client program runs in a user space (on my Linux), it
would be preferrable to choose ports >= 1024.

Yes/no. Yes if you are using some specific protocol , i.e. H323, SIP, etc.
NO if you are using a non-standard protocol, i.e. fobbit for VB.

Here are some pointers that may help you out if you have not already known
them:

Good luck.

 

Vonage-Time Warner Cable-Linksys dropped calls VOIP

Hello all
I hope you can help, this ongoing problem is driving me nuts and neither Vonage, TWC or Linksys seem to be able to solve the problem.

SOFTWARE: Windows XP SP2

HARDWARE
Cable Modem
SB5101 (Motorola)

Router
BEFSR41 (Linksys)

Phone Adaptor
VT2142-VD (motorola) supplied by Vonage

PROBLEM: Dropped calls

The Linksys router is old, had for 8-10 years. Handles the internet with no problem but when I added Voip 4 years ago, things were not the same and they get very bad at times. Someone suggested that port forwarding was to blame but couldn't help any further.

The Cable Modem and Phone adaptor are less than a year old and were sent to me in an effort to try and fix this problem. The cable company even came out and replaced some suspect cables outside the house.

Yet the problem continues.

Should I just get one of those all in one devices or is there a fix for my current configuration?

I am not a techie.

Thanks

Steven

 

Voip Qos

Run a packet loss test from the command prompt. Ping your cable companys default gateway, the packet loss should be 1% or less. Increase the packet size to 500 or 1024. Some companys have reduced the packet size to conserve bandwidth by adding a policy in the routers. Also do a path ping of the IP address or DNS name of the company you are using (VOIP Provider).

1. Is your cable modem dropping offline?
2. What are you speeds (provisioned for by the cable company)?
3. Does you internet get slow sometimes?
4. What are the levels on the Cable Modem?

ping {Default Gateway} -L 500 -n 500 ( -L = Packet size & -n = Ping Count

TWC had some Internet packages where the speeds will be to low and not have a good (QOS). Example DSL speeds or 128K Up and 512K down

 

Re: Vonage-Time Warner Cable-Linksys dropped calls VOIP

Hate to tell you this, but I'd think about replacing the router. I had a Linksys BEFSR router as well, and had problems with VOIP calls (using Vonage) dropping a few minutes into the call. After I upgraded to a WRT54G, the problems went away. Couldn't tell you the rhyme or reason why, but it worked.
