Yang bisa terutama adalah yang tersambung ke gateway di ITB walaupun mungkin kualiasnya kurang baik karena ada delay di satelit yang lumayan bikin teler .. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shigeki Goto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2000 8:39 AM Subject: Internet2 / Voice of IP Testbed working group > F.Y.I. > ====================================================================== > Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 23:54:55 -0400 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> From: Ted Hanss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> (by way of Heather Boyles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) > Subject: Announcing Voice over IP Working Group > > I'd like to announce the creation of the "Internet2 Voice over IP Testbed > Working Group" and its chair, Harpal Chohan from Ohio State University. > > I'm forwarding the following note on Harpal's behalf and invite you to > follow up with Harpal if you are interested in voice over IP > implementations.

My name is Harpal Chohan, and I am affiliated with The Ohio State > University. I have been working with Ted Hanss and others at Internet2 to > establish a testbed working group for VoIP collaboration over the Internet2 > high performance networks. This is an open invitation to Abilene and vBNS > connected members to participate in the testbed project and this working group. > > BACKGROUND > > Several of us have budding "IP Telephony" deployments on our campuses. > Others have installations of PBX-to-PBX VoIP between specific campuses. Yet > others are beginning to entertain thoughts of experimenting with some > hands-on "IP Telephony" on their networks. > > We at Ohio State began a 100 phone test deployment of "IP Telephony" last > year. So did Harvard and UT Austin, with installations of comparable size. > Other campuses are experimenting with installations of varying size and > scope. Most of these, like their counterparts in the corporate world, are > campus deployments - with wide area calls being either carried over private > networks or consigned to the PSTN through gateways. > > Recognizing the advantage we had in all of us having access to a uniform > high performance network such as Abilene or vBNS, we initiated a testbed > collaboration that "linked" our installations together by "routing" calls > between our campuses across these networks. E.g., Ohio State has > established such experimental "peering" with Harvard, SURFNet, U Miami, > and U Oregon. Some of these "peerings" are more detailed than others in the > sense that we have complete access to all the "legacy" phones on each > others' campuses through the sharing of gateways. And of-course, there > surely are other such "ad-hoc" collaborations between campuses out there. > > The intent of this working group is to expand the testbed linkages to all > willing Abilene/vBNS connected participants, and put a working structure in > place for these collaborations. Goals include defining and implementing a > scalable infrastructure for "peering" and call routing, formulating and > addressing issues of technology inter-operability, getting vendor > participation at a technical level, and formulating solutions for a > functioning testbed. > > WORKING GROUP SCOPE > > This is mainly intended to be an implementation-focused working group with > an engineering focus towards solutions related to the testbed > collaboration. A VoIP working group with a broader focus exists under > EDUCAUSE/"net@EDU" that considers issues of policy (campus, government, and > legal), pricing, business plans, economic drivers, technology and industry > trends, etc. Consequently, this group will focus mainly on implementation > issues in context of the advanced networking testbeds, and interact with > the net@EDU working group on the broader issues as well as feed testbed > experiences to that group. > > Initial action items for this working group that have been suggested are: > > 1. Identifying and organizing testbed participants. > > 2. Identify and agree on testbed infrastructure. Are we are going to use > H.323 gatekeepers for call routing initially? Where should they be placed > and how they should > be organized? Access from vBNS connected members? > > 3. Numbering plans and standards? Consistency and scalability. > > 4. New technologies. SIP, MGCP etc. Infrastructure for inter-operability? > > 5. Peering policies, member expectations and business plans, sharing of > resources (gateways) etc. What is the acceptable lowest common denominator? > > 6. Include vendor participation at a technical level - to leverage > solutions for a successful testbed, as well as inter-operability. > > 7. Work collaboratively with the QOS and security working groups. > > 8. Collaborations with other High Performance Networks. E.g. Ohio State - > SURFNet peering extended to the tesbed. AARNet (Australia) has an extensive > VoIP implementation and possible interest in collaboration with the > Internet2 testbed WG and sharing experiences and resources that have been > developed. > > WHAT NEXT? > > We are soliciting participation from all Abilene and vBNS connected members > that have VoIP implementations (or are considering one) , Gigapops, and > corporate members that have interests in this area.
