Session Border Controllers and VoIP IP Peering

VoIP IP peering demand is strong. The market for VoIP IP peering will grow in demand due to customer expectations. Whether you are looking for a field of study or a business market, IP peering and session border controllers will also be in high demand. You should study and learn IP peering as it will be a hot job market.

IP peering is needed because various IP networks are not always connected to other IP networks. For instance if Stanaphone or GloPhone say that all SIP to SIP calls are free that may not extend to other SIP networks. To connect Stanaphone SIP to GloPhone SIP a direct IP interconnect between the two is required. The same would apply if you want to connect Packet8 to Stanaphone.

Providers need flexible routing from larger networks to smaller networks, which will reduce the cost of call routing. THe best example of this was seen in the cell phone market, as different companies shared towers and customers roamed but had strong signal strength due to call routing.

Flexible call routing, either on a large scale or at a small network level, gives more routing options. More options translate into lower costs, better quality of service (QOS), and the ability to program away from the network hitting critical mass.

Voice over broadband (VOBB) has created a need to get away from asking how X-Ten would connect to Skype with SIP to SIP, or how Vonage would connect to AOL VoIP without going onto the plain old telephone system (POTS) for the backbone interconnect.
