ENSC 427 Communication Networks Spring 2013 Final Project Presentation THE ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF VOIP Presented by Team #3: Demet Dilekci Conrad Wang Jiang Feng Xu ddilekci@sfu.ca cjw11@sfu.ca jfxu@sfu.ca http://www.sfu.ca/~cjw11/427project.html
Overview Motivation Background Technical details Implementation in OPNET VoIP over LAN (Local Area Network ) VoIP over WAN (Wide Area Network ) VoIP over WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) VoIP over WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) Discussion Result and Analysis Recommendations
Motivations To analyze and discuss the parameters that affect the quality of VoIP To simulate scenarios by using OPNET
VoIP Background Voice over Internet Protocol An Alternative to Public Switched Telephone Network Uses Packet Switching instead of Circuit Switching Digital Signal instead of Analog Signal
VoIP Advantages / Disadvantages Advantages: Cost Saving Flexible Rich Features Disadvantages: Network quality determines call quality Higher call drop rate compared to PSTN 911 Emergency call is unable to trace location
Technical Details Jitter Mean Opinion Score (MOS) End-to-end Delay Packet Loss
Technical details ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Values [6] [7]: Average Quality Ideal Quality Jitter < 60 ms < 20 ms End-to-end Delay < 150 ms < 50 ms Packet Loss Rate < 5% < 1% Codec (Coder/Decoder) G. 711 Quality Scale MOS Excellent 5 Good 4 Fair 3 Poor 2 Bad 1 G. 723 G. 729
Implementation in OPNET VoIP over LAN (Local Area Network ) VoIP over WAN (Wide Area Network ) VoIP over WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) VoIP over WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network)
OPNET : VoIP over LAN Designs Different # of Clients (2, 20 200) & Traffic Load (Light / Heavy) & Codec
OPNET : VoIP over LAN: Results Results: Jitter and MOS in office
OPNET : VoIP over LAN: Results Results: ETE Delay and Packet Loss in office
OPNET : VoIP over LAN: Discussion Discussion Increasing number of client & traffic load doesn`t effect the result Jitter in good for all codec types 711 gives better values (Mos close to good level) 729 Mos : fair level. It is below good 723 Mos & packet end-end delay: fair level 723 send less voice traffic
OPNET: VoIP over WAN Design 1 # of Clients: 20 & Different Traffic Load (Light / Heavy) & Codec & Links
OPNET: VoIP over WAN Design 2 # of Clients: 200 & Different Traffic Load (Light / Heavy) & Codec & Links
OPNET : VoIP over WAN: Results Results: Jitter and MOS in long distance
OPNET : VoIP over WAN: Results Results: ETE Delay and Packet Loss in long distance
OPNET: VoIP over WAN Discussion # of client : 20 Codec 711, links PPP DS0 / DS1: PPP DSO values are below acceptable level. PPP DS1 is good over all (MOS is between good and fair level) Codec (711, 729, 723), link PPP DS1: 711: good level (MOS level close the good level) 729 and 723 MOS level: fair level 723 sent less voice traffic
Implementation in OPNET: WLAN / WWAN
Results Jitter and MOS in office
Results ETE Delay and Packet Loss in office
Results Jitter and MOS in long distance
Results ETE Delay and Packet Loss long distance
Discussion Wireless: Base on the results, we noticed that the outputs do not change much even when we set the application traffic from heavy to light. Also, when we change the connection link, the outputs do not change significantly. Comparing office and long distance communication, we noticed that the Jitter, MOS Value, Delay Variation and ETE Delay only have a slight difference. Thus, change falls into a acceptable range.
Recommendations VoIP has many major drawbacks that makes the call quality not as good as PSTN However, it has the most important advantage over PSTN which is the cost Use VoIP to save cost Use PSTN for important calls due to its reliability
