Finally, I wish to acknowledge with gratitude the continued support and encouragement given by my parents and my love, Hui Xie. Abstract A simple yet effective Denial of Service (DoS) attack on SIP servers is to flood the server with requests addressed at irresolvable domain names. In this thesis we evaluate different possibilities to mitigate these effects and show that over-provisioning is not sufficient to handle such attacks.

The phone works as follows: We will take audio input from the audio codec and store this data serially and temporarily in a block of BRAM. This audio data will be converted from 16-bit linear to 8-bit ulaw via the G.711 audio codec on the microblaze. The output of the G.711 codec will be stored in parallel in another BRAM block. From there, the sample is ready to be injected into a UDP packet and sent to the ethernet controller buffer. The components of the board that will be used are: The FPGA will be used as follows: Audio Interface This is the timing diagram for AK4565 Audio Codec, ignoring stereo input (taken from the Asahi Kasei datasheet, modified for our purposes). When LRCK is low, the codec samples from the right channel, but we are only interested in monophonic recording, so we will ignore the right channel and use the left as the only signal.

  • Phone System / Contract
    Midway City Council 3 December 2019 Regular Meeting Phone System / Contract Memo Date: 29 October 2019 To: Mayor, City Council and Staff Cc: File From: Brad Wilson, City Recorder/Financial Officer RE: Office Building Phone System Over time the phone system for the City’s office building has developed several problems and lost some functionality. The system can be difficult to use and relies on the system provider to make any changes (Deleting old employees, setting up new employees, etc.). Overall the provider is unengaged and can be challenging to work with. A group of staff members and I, who volunteered to review the issue, recommend the City acquire a new system and provider. We contacted multiple companies with high ratings and received three quotes (Attached). I have also attached a summary and detail of the quotes compared to current and budgeted costs. Two of the quotes include leasing the equipment and all have monthly charges. We recommend the quote from Veracity. Although it has the highest monthly cost ($642.31 compared to $573.97 and $281.23), we believe it is easier to administer by staff and would have the best provider support. Veracity also offers redundancy and dramatically better bandwidth for a cost less than what the City is currently paying for internet access. The total monthly cost would be $1,541 compared to the current cost of $1,411 for a difference of $130. I also recommend that the City upgrade its network switches so that power can be provided to each phone. The upgrade cost is $1,349.98.

  • Voip Hacks by Theodore Wallingford
    VoIP Hacks By Theodore Wallingford ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: December 2005 ISBN: 0-596-10133-3 Pages: 326 Table of Contents | Index Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is gaining a lot of attention these days, as more companies and individuals switch from standard telephone service to phone service via the Internet. The reason is simple: A single network to carry voice and data is easier to scale, maintain, and administer. As an added bonus, it's also cheaper, because VoIP is free of the endless government regulations and tariffs imposed upon phone companies. VoIP is simply overflowing with hack potential, and VoIP Hacks is the practical guide from O'Reilly that presents these possibilities to you. It provides dozens of hands-on projects for building a VoIP network, showing you how to tweak and customize a multitude of exciting things to get the job done. Along the way, you'll also learn which standards and practices work best for your particular environment. Among the quick and clever solutions showcased in the book are those for: gauging VoIP readiness on an enterprise network using SIP, H.323, and other signaling specifications providing low-layer security in a VoIP environment employing IP hardphones, analog telephone adapters, and softPBX servers dealing with and avoiding the most common VoIP deployment mistakes In reality, VoIP Hacks contains only a small subset of VoIP knowledge-enough to serve as an introduction to the world of VoIP and teach you how to use it to save money, be more productive, or just impress your friends. If you love to tinker and optimize, this is the one technology, and the one book, you must investigate.

  • Sending Faxes in Real Time Over an IP Network How to Benefit from Fax Over Internet Protocol (Foip) to Send Faxes
    GFI White Paper Sending faxes in real time over an IP network How to benefit from Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP) to send faxes This technical white paper gives an introduction to Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP) and explains the various usages and advantages of FoIP. FoIP can also be used to implement least cost routing (LCR); this results in cost-effectiveness that is achieved through a reduction in international calls dialed (since calls are translated into a local call at the recipient’s country). Contents Introduction 3 What is FoIP? 3 The fax session 3 Possibility of Fax over VoIP audio 4 Calling a third party with VoIP 4 Building your own gateway network 6 Least cost routing 7 Notes about this method 7 SIP and H.323 session management 8 What is H.323? 8 What is SIP? 8 About GFI® 11 Sending faxes in real time over an IP network 2 Introduction Faxing manually is out of date! The time when faxes used to be sent one by one over a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is gone. Using Internet technology, it is possible to send professional faxes over the Internet at a very low cost. This can be achieved through Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP) which is a technology that allows faxes to be sent in real time over an IP network. This white paper examines the different technologies and protocols available to send faxes. What is FoIP? FoIP is a deviation from Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) as it makes use of a new protocol (T.38) instead of a voice codec.
