This section deals with the management interface of the VoIP4.17 service available in IPBrick.
The VoIP (Voice Over IP) technology allows phone calls through an IP network, thus enabling phone calls through the Internet. The main advantages for the use of VoIP are: reduction of expenses because the rates don't follow the conventional telephony model; better service quality, since commutation by packs does a better use of the existing network resources, different from the circuit commutation.
The IP Telephony concept sometimes mixes up with VoIP, but they are not exactly the same thing. The IP Telephony uses VoIP service and defines itself as the group of services and applications that allow companies to reduce phone expenditures.
