Glossary Call divert Automatic diversion (CD) of a call to a different telephone number. There are three kinds of call divert: – CDU, Call Divert Unconditional – CDB, Call Divert Busy – CDNR, Call Divert No Reply Call swap Call swap allows you to switch between two callers or between a conference and an indi- vidual caller without allowing the waiting caller to listen to the call.
Page 212
Glossary The choice of codec is a compromise between voice quality, transmission speed and the necessary bandwidth. A high level of compression, for example, means that the band- width required for each voice connection is low. However, it also means that the time needed to compress/decompress the data is greater, which increases execution time for data in the network and thus impairs voice quality.

Glossary G.711 a law, G.711 μ law Standard for a codec. G.711 delivers a very good voice quality that corresponds to that in the ISDN fixed line. As there is little compression, the necessary bandwidth is around 64 kbit/s per voice connec- tion, but the delay caused by coding/decoding is only approx.

HTTP proxy Server via which network subscribers can process their Internet traffic. Connects several network subscribers in one infrastructure network.
Page 217
Glossary IP address A unique address for a network component within a network based on the TCP/IP proto- cols (e.g., LAN, Internet). On the Internet, domain names are usually assigned instead of IP addresses. DNS assigns the corresponding IP address to the domain name. The IPv4 IP address has four parts (decimal numbers between 0 and 255) separated by full stops (e.g., 230.94.233.2).
Page 218
Glossary MAC address Media Access Control address Hardware address by means of which each network device (e.g., network card, switch, phone) can be uniquely identified worldwide. It consists of six parts (hexadecimal num- bers) separated by a "-" (e.g., 00-90-65-44-00-3A). The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer and cannot be changed.

Glossary Outbound proxy Alternative NAT control mechanism to STUN and ALG. Outbound proxies are implemented by the VoIP provider in firewall/NAT environments as an alternative to a SIP proxy server. They control data traffic through the firewall. Outbound proxy and STUN servers should not be used simultaneously. See also: STUN and NAT.

Glossary Quality of Service (QoS) Describes the Quality of Service in communication networks. Differentiations are made between various Quality of Service classes. QoS influences the flow of data packets on the Internet, e.g., by prioritising data packets, reserving bandwidth and optimising data packets. In VoIP networks, QoS influences the voice quality.
