VoIP phone calls are usually delivered over a carefully-managed network often running Quality of Service (QoS) and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

An Internet T1 (or T-1 line) is a digital, dedicated local access connection supporting data rates of 1.544 Megabits Per Second (Mbps) that can be channelized into 24 individual channels that each provide 64 Kilobits Per Second (Kbps).

Many VoIP service providers guarantee that phone calls will not travel over the public Internet, but are converted and transmitted over the traditional telephone network directly from the VoIP provider's private Internet network that usually adheres to a defined Quality of Service (QoS).

The ADSL downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps.

MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).

Ethernet provides a great local access medum to connect LANs to the Internet and is quickly becoming the access method of choice were it is available.

DSL service is delverd as Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) which is the most common application for Internet access, where fast downstream is required, but slow upstream is acceptable, and as Symmetric DSL (SDSL) which supports high speed access across the local access loop in both directions.

Wireless Internet is a new way to access the Internet at high speeds from anywhere in the United States. Wireless Internet is delivered via terrestrial transmitters and receivers or by satellites that orbit the Earth while transmitting and receiving high frequency radio internet data to a small dish located at the customer premise. Two-way satellite radio system is reliable, easy to set up and is mobile. You can move the subscriber terrestrical or satellite dish and re-connect with ease.

MPLS can be used to facilitate layer 3 IP VPNs, layer 2 VPNs, Quality of Service (QoS), Class of Service (CoS) and to guarantee Service Level Agreements.
