PEERING FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS: THE ROLE OF SESSION BORDER CONTROLLERS
IN PUBLIC IP NETWORKS
by Juniper Networks
TDM (time-division multiplexing) has long offered telephony carriers
an effective and secure method for exchanging traffic between
networks. But when it comes to Voice over IP, it falls short as a
peering solution. Juniper Networks' family of VF-series SBCs addresses
key IP peering issues regarding security, network address translation
(NAT), service assurance, quality of service (QoS), interworking, call
routing, regulatory and emergency services compliance, and overall
control at the borders of IP/VoIP networks. This paper provides an
overview.

SELECTING A VOIP SOLUTION AT THE ENTERPRISE EDGE

CALCULATING THE COST OF TAPE AND DISK SOLUTIONS
