UNIT 3 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NETWORKS

3.1 Converged Networks

DEFINITION
Convergent networks or multiservice networks refer to the integration
of voice, data, and video services over a single IP-based network such as
network level protocol. Converged networks have had and will continue to have
technical difficulties to overcome since the different services to be offered have
different characteristics and network requirements, therefore it is important to talk about it here

traffic engineering and mechanisms that guarantee service quality. It is the


efficient and effective way in which a convergence network will provide
the services, both voice, data, and video without any problems.

ARCHITECTURE
A convergence network based on IP is built on three key elements:
Technologies that enable the provision of multiple services over a data network.
A multipurpose network, built on an architecture of
functional network distributed and based on IP.
•A system open of protocols standards ripe e
internationally accepted. The elements and protocols of a network of
convergence are:
Elements:
Media Gateways, which provide the interconnection between the IP network and
the network services provided by other networks such as the PSTN
traditional wireless networks.
Signaling gateways that translate signaling protocols
call between the different networks.
Media gateway controllers or softswitches that coordinate
the media gateways according to the signaling information received by
the signaling gateways.
Protocols:
H.323: developed by the ITU-T to standardize the establishment
calls and the transmission of multimedia over switched networks through
packets that do not guarantee any QoS. H.323 is based on RTP (Real
TimeProtocol) from the IETF and standard codecs from the G series. Although this was the

the first protocol used in VoIP, the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) of IETF has
gained greater acceptance because it has simpler mechanisms for
the establishment of the call.
SIP: is an application layer protocol that can establish, modify
terminate sessions or multimedia calls over an IP network,
including conferences, distance learning, internet telephony, etc.
MGCP: media gateway control protocol, it is used to control media
gateways from external elements through normal calls. A
The alternative protocol that surpasses it is MEGACO or H.248.

•SIGTRAN: it is a set of protocols and adaptation layers used


paratransport signaling information over IP networks.

Highlighted Advantages
This is especially important for the sales department, advisors

they still need the same network capabilities, regardless of the

work, as they can use a PC and an IP phone on the same port
Ethernet. Another important advantage is the ultimate opportunity that these networks offer.
to create an IT infrastructure that activates voice on a single network with a
minimum investment. Recent studies conducted with one of the main
mobile phone operators show a potential savings of more than 600,000
annual dollars through the use of converging networks. The infrastructure provides
services and centralized management of voice traffic, which allows for the
organization to eliminate several hundred decentralists from its retail stores and achieve
best voice rates through traffic aggregation. Regarding the center of
customer service, so vital for many organizations, the contact centers
multichannel allows companies to humanize the corporate relationship and allows the
access to the most important data. This increases the productivity of the agents,
administration times are reduced and it helps to improve satisfaction of

SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS


Basically, convergent networks allow the integration of services.

costs: in personnel, maintenance, interconnection charges, activations,
moving and changes.
Lower network costs, improved productivity, better customer retention,
shorter time to reach the market - these are the net benefits that enable the
converged network solutions.
Reduction of personnel costs for network administration and maintenance.
Feasibility of Converged Networks.
Generally, IT directors and/or managers present large projects of
convergence which face the problem of their justification.
It is recommended to create a vision of the company's converged network and start.
to be resolved at this stage of the vision.

The recommendations are:

Start with the company's WAN network (if it has one), unify it into a single medium.
voice, data, and video over the same medium gives us the benefits of:

Manage a single device (router) Make use of wasted bandwidth


the demand of each application (voice, data, video, etc.) Utilize bandwidth
due to schedules, there are generally different peaks of demand in each application
(voice, data, video, etc.) Eliminate long distance costs and measured service

2. Acquisition of new infrastructure due to the growth of new needs


already carried out in a converged network environment, that is, acquire IP phones,
switches ready for IP telephony with quality of service (QoS).

3. Technological substitution is being carried out based on the fact that the equipment is already

obsolete or unusable.
4. Security needs in voice conversations, a call between
IP phones, the voice is encrypted.

5. Reduction of information losses and connectivity that affect processes


productive of the business

6. Justification based on new applications that will increase productivity and


profitability of the business.

At the end of the project, you will have a Converged Network which was justified by the
savings and benefits it brought to the company.

3.2 Case Studies

We know that young people are using social networks, but what is the impact of
these activities in them and in their relationships with others? Most of the
conversations focus on negative outcomes - online harassment,
issues of privacy, commercialization, and fear of strangers. However,
there is a growth in research that highlights the positive results of using
social networks, a broad term that describes Internet services that allow
to users communicate with shared content. These investigations are
important to think about what young people can achieve using social media
like Facebook and MySpace.
A recent report from the Pew Research Center found that users of
Facebook reported having more close friends, being more involved in politics,
and they showed more confidence than those who did not use the website.
Similarly, a series of academic publications produced by the team of

Our research suggests that social networks like Facebook help us
to have access to diverse and valuable information.

What does that mean for young people? Research is beginning to explore
this topic, but I hope that some of these dynamics are similar. Children
they benefit from interactions with children who are not like them, or who have
different experiences. Parents and teachers will continue to play a role
important in managing the experiences of young people while they find the
various ideas and perspectives represented in our global society, and accessible
through social media.
Social media is not going to disappear. What we use today may not exist in
10 years, but its foundations will continue - the personal profile, the ability to create a
contact list, and easy methods to convey messages to them and read the latest
news from them. The art of presenting oneself appropriately to achieve their goals,

Parents, teachers, and other mentors must help young people develop these
skills. Being involved is the best way to help young people, and this
it means looking beyond the fearmongering news and considering other dimensions
of social networks.
CONCLUSION

The adoption of converged networks can represent changes in the structure of


the organizations and their administrative processes. The converging networks
represent an important transition in the world of technology. Such networks
it consists of transmitting all kinds of information over the same cable, instead of counting
with separate networks for data, telephony, and security cameras, as was the case in
the past. In the future, companies will have a network of computers that
it encompasses all its facilities, and a series of devices connected to it.
They can be traditional data devices, such as PCs, or audio devices, such as
phones. The phone becomes one more termination point within the network.
Video devices, such as cameras, can also be added, and all that

more critical. The telephone system must be available all the time, so
it requires a high level of security. Consequently, it is necessary to be alert
before any interruption that could be caused by a virus, something to which the majority of
companies are not accustomed. A network is required
