Question 1. ABC Inc. replaced its legacy circuit-switched PBX with an SIP-based VoIP system on its Ethernet LAN. When capturing and observing voice packets using Wireshark, which header contains the sequence number and time stamp information needed for playing back the audio at the receiving end? Describe, in one paragraph, how the sequence number and time stamp are used to for this purpose.

Question 2. The IT department of ABC Inc. decides to use the G. 711 codec on its local VoIP telephony network. What's the payload bit rate of G. 711? What does the payload bit rate mean? Explain, in one paragraph, how increasing and reducing the payload size of voice packets affects the required bandwidth per VoIP conversation, respectively.

Question 3. Explain, in a couple of paragraphs, the origin and history of the SIP protocol and the H.323 protocol suite. What are the most noticeable characteristics of each? What are some of their cons?

Question 4. Explain, in one paragraph, layer 2 prioritization and its priority classes. Explain, in one paragraph, layer 3 prioritization and its precedence levels. If a company plans to switch to VoIP, what should the IT department look for in the switches and routers on its network?

Question 5. Use the Erlangs and VoIP Bandwidth Calculator at https://www.erlang.com/calculator/eipb/ to complete the following question.

ABC Inc. is planning to lease a 512 Kbps frame relay connection between two PBXs from two branch locations. The audio codec used on the trunk is G.729A with a 20-millisecond packet duration. Assume the targeted call blocking probability for ABC Inc. is 1% (i.e., 0.01). How much traffic volume/load (in Erlangs) can this trunk support?

120 call attempts, with an average call duration of 10 minutes during the Busy Hour have been observed on the connection. What's the current traffic volume/load (in Erlangs) on this trunk connection? Compare the current traffic volume/load to the supported traffic volume/load calculated above. Does the frame relay trunk have enough capacity to support the current traffic volume/load?

Question 6. ABC Inc. is re-evaluating the end-to-end delay budget of its cross-country VoIP services. In one paragraph, name at least two components (i.e., devices or processes) that contribute to the end-to-end latency budget.

Suggest, in one paragraph, two methods that could help ABC Inc. reduce the end-to-end delay of its cross-country VoIP services.
