Introduction to Converged Networking

Overview This is the first of six technical briefing papers that examine the concepts, operation and analysis of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and converged networks. The concept of a converged network - one that combines voice, data, and other signal transmissions into a single, higher-speed network interface - has been around for several decades. We will look at:

  • What is a converged network
  • Enabling technologies and standards
  • Migrating the legacy network
  • Benefits and applications for the enterprise
  • Challenges for converged networks
