Generally, NAT/NAPT are features that are available with routers. IP Network Global IP Address Domain Router...
  • Page 50 A1 VoIP Requirements Is there only a single IP network between 2 ends of a call? A huge degradation in speech quality will be produced when calls are made through multiple IP networks as shown below; therefore, it is recommended that you avoid establishing a VoIP network in this fashion.
  • Page 51: A1.3 Network Devices

    A1 VoIP Requirements Is the card located appropriately? Transmission delays can cause pauses and loss in VoIP communications. The more network devices (e.g., routers and switches) there are between the communicating cards, the larger the transmission delays, because a certain amount of delay is inevitable when packets go through each network device (hop).
