VectorX™: A VoIP Quality of Service & Security Solution from BandTel

VectorX™ HandOut

One of the big economic advantages VoIP has over standard circuit based telephony is you can merge your voice and data traffic together over the same IP connection.

That offers big savings, as internet pipes for the most part are poorly utilized most of the time. So by filling them with VoIP traffic significantly improves cost efficiencies.

But to successfully do that merger you must engineer a quality of Service (QoS) mechanism that …

• Allows VoIP traffic to have precedence over corporate bulk IP traffic.
• Acts in a passive manner by not interfering with the corporate IP firewall.

If you ignore addressing QoS you may very well find, even with plenty of bandwidth, that your VoIP service is unusable; i.e. poor quality resulting from packet drops and delays.

Internet providers make their margin by providing their customers with no more bandwidth then they are absolutely contracted to. So the moment you exceed your allocation the ISP throttles your traffic back, and starts dropping and delaying packets.

For non real-time applications that run over TCP-IP that’s not a big issue. The protocol simply retransmits. But for VoIP over UDP-IP it’s disastrous. You can’t retransmit a piece of someone’s conversation! It must be a real-time service, all the time.

VectorX™ : The QoS Solution

BandTel solves this QoS dilemma by inserting VectorX™ , a packet policy enforcement system, between the ISP and your cooperate firewall.

Since VectorX™ operates at IP layer-2 in bridging mode your corporate firewall is unaware of the device, and so requires no changes to support it and VoIP.

On the telephone side VectorX™ supports three forms of corporate PBX trunk side connections:

• Analog - FXS - 4 to X analog ports are supported with Vector-Ax
• PCM - 23/24 to X ports are supported via T1/E1/Pri interfaces to your PBX with Vector-T
• IP Direct - 4 to X SIP-Trunks are supported direct to your IP-PBX with Vector-Ix

The diagram below illustrates Vector-X installed in a typical arrangement:

• ISP WAN demark connects to WAN-A of VectorX™
• Enterprise firewall connects to WAN-B of VectorX™
• Analog Ports, T1 Ports, or direct IP/SIP port comes out of the third connection (WAN-X), and terminates into the corporate PBX

This arrangement totally removes and separates the VoIP traffic from enterprise bulk IP traffic.

This results in total VoIP quality of service with the voice and bulk data running together over the same physical IP drop to/from your ISP.

VectorX™ : The Security Solution

VectorX™ is also a fully functional firewall in its own right, and so allows BandTel to offer full VoIP security to your account.

Attempts to hack and steal from your VoIP account will be virtually impossible with VectorX™ deployed inline on your service.

Save on Bandwidth With VectorX

To accurately compare prices between BandTel and other vendors the last mile IP pipe must be considered. Specifically, if there is no last mile VoIP QoS solution provided by the competing VoIP vendor then a dedicated IP circuit must be provisioned to realize quality of service.

The spread sheet below shows the impact on cost for a small office wishing to deploy VoIP with BandTel vs. a vendor offering no QoS solution.
