Vo<strong>IP</strong> can be deployed and implemented in many different ways and<br />

application scenarios. The complexity of Vo<strong>IP</strong> results to some degree<br />

from the fact that several different Vo<strong>IP</strong> technologies, standards and<br />

implementations are often combined.<br />

The terms on-net and off-net for example refer to two different levels of<br />

complexity in Vo<strong>IP</strong> communications. An on-net call originates and<br />

terminates within a single enterprises or providers network. Off-net<br />

calls on the other hand cross the bounbdaries of the providers<br />

respectively enterprise network and require therefore special technology<br />

(gateways, etc.) and have other compatibility aspects (signaling, coding,<br />

etc.) taken into account.<br />

A good way of simplifying the subject further is to look at specific<br />

application scenarios or implementations. Typical Vo<strong>IP</strong> scenarios or<br />

applications are for example :<br />

• Residential user / branch office with ITSP<br />

• (On-net) Internet Telephony solutions<br />

• Long distance call services (PSTN to PSTN)<br />

• LAN Telephony / small PBX replacement<br />

• WLAN hotspot with ITSP<br />

• Vo<strong>IP</strong> Access Router / IAD for SME networks<br />
