Abstract

If you are at all curious about the technology behind voice over ip which
has almost completely replaced the old wired telephone infrastructure you
will not want to miss this presentation and discussion hosted by Dr. Vijay
K. Gurbani, you will find out the details of exactly how this signalling
and call setup protocol for IP-based communications puts voice
communications on the internet. You will learn about how this technology
was developed, the network protocols and elements that make it work and the
messaging that facilitates and replaces the mechanical signalling of the
old wired network. You will learn about what's required in a network and
how it has to scale to make this work in a large corporate environment. You
will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about other aspects of
this as well.

As usual we will be having a "Meeting After the Meeting" for talk and
drinks, and since the meeting is on Thursday we are planning it at the
Bulldog Alehouse restaurant in Bolingbrook on Weber Rd.

the restaurant's Bolingbrook website with a clickable, expandable map.
