Analysis of packet switching in VoIP telephony at the command post of tactical level units

Keywords: VoIP, real-time communication, voice sessions, computer networks, SIP

Abstract


Introduction/purpose: This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of a potential implementation of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems, focusing on network architecture, VoIP phones, and servers. The study explores potential vulnerabilities and proposes solutions. The paper concludes by advocating for a holistic approach to securing VoIP systems, incorporating supplementary services to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of voice communications in the digital landscape.

Methods: Review of the underlying theory, analysis of the end-user needs and potential solutions, practical viability assesment. 

Results: The theoretical points discussed were proven in practice, using commercially available resources. Communication was established in an expected manner.

Conclusions: Implementing solutions similar to the one presented in the paper would be a relatively inexpensive way to make diverse improvements to the operation of tactical level units, both in peacetime and during war.
