  • Skype Voip Service- Architecture and Comparison Hao Wang Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering University of Stuttgart Mentor: Dr.-Ing
    INFOTECH Seminar Advanced Communication Services (ACS), 2005 Skype VoIP service- architecture and comparison Hao Wang Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering University of Stuttgart Mentor: Dr.-Ing. S. Rupp ABSTRACT Skype is a peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay network for VoIP and other applications, developed by KaZaa in 2003. Skype can traverse NAT and firewall more efficiently than traditional VoIP networks and it offers better voice quality. To find and locate users, Skype uses “supernodes” that are running on peer machines. In contrast, traditional systems use fixed central servers. Also Skype uses encrypted media channel to protect the dada. The main contribution of this article is illustrating the architecture and components of Skype networks and basically analyzing key Skype functions such as login, NAT and firewall traversal. Furthermore, it contains comparisons of Skype networks with VoIP networks regarding different scenarios. On that basis it reveals some reasons why Skype has much better performance than previous VoIP products. Keywords Voice over IP (VoIP), Skype, Peer-to-peer (p2p), Super Node (SN) 1. Introduction It is expected that real-time person-to-person communication, like IP telephony (VoIP), instant messaging, voice, video and data collaboration will be the next big wave of Internet usage. VoIP refers to technology that enables routing of voice conversations over the Internet or any other IP network. Another technology is peer-to-peer, which is used for sharing content like audio, video, data or anything in digital format. Skype is a combination of these two technologies. It has much better performance by making use of advantages of both technologies.

  • Insight Into the Gtalk Protocol
    1 Insight into the Gtalk Protocol Riyad Alshammari and A. Nur Zincir-Heywood Dalhousie University, Faculty of Computer Science Halifax NS B3H 1W5, Canada (riyad,zincir)@cs.dal.ca Abstract Google talk (Gtalk) is an instant messeger and voice over IP client developed by Google in 2005. Gtalk can work across firewalls and has very good voice quality. It encrypts calls end-to-end, and stores user information in a centralized fashion. This paper analyzes fundamental Gtalk functions such as login, firewall traversal, and call establishment under different network scenarios. The analysis is performed by both active and passive measurement techniques to understand the Gtalk network traffic. Based on our analysis, we devised algorithms for login and call establishment processes as well as data flow models. I. INTRODUCTION Voice over IP (VoIP) is becoming a major communication service for enterprises and individuals since the cost of VoIP calls is low and the voice quality is getting better. To date, there are many VoIP products that are able to provide high call quality such as Skype [1], Google Talk (Gtalk) [2], Microsoft Messenger (MSN) [3], and Yahoo! Messenger (YMSG) [4]. However, few information has been documented about protocol design used by these VoIP clients since the protocols are not standardized, many of them are proprietary, and the creators of these softwares want to keep their information confidential and protect their protocol design form competitors. In this paper, we have generated and captured network traffic in order to determine the broad characteristics of one of the most recent and fast growing VoIP applications, Google Talk.

  • Skypemorph: Protocol Obfuscation for Tor Bridges
    SkypeMorph: Protocol Obfuscation for Tor Bridges Hooman Mohajeri Moghaddam Baiyu Li Mohammad Derakhshani Ian Goldberg Cheriton School of Computer Science University of Waterloo Waterloo, ON, Canada {hmohajer,b5li,mderakhs,iang}@cs.uwaterloo.ca ABSTRACT The Tor network is designed to provide users with low- latency anonymous communications. Tor clients build cir- cuits with publicly listed relays to anonymously reach their destinations. However, since the relays are publicly listed, they can be easily blocked by censoring adversaries. Con- sequently, the Tor project envisioned the possibility of un- listed entry points to the Tor network, commonly known as bridges. We address the issue of preventing censors from detecting the bridges by observing the communications be- tween them and nodes in their network. We propose a model in which the client obfuscates its mes- sages to the bridge in a widely used protocol over the Inter- net.
