Product Description
Practical solutions for the world of packetized voice over data networks
- Features in-depth solutions for the design and implementation of integrated voice and data networks
- Detailed configurations show network engineers how to implement packetized voice immediately
- Chapters on voice theory and data theory ensure mastery of fundamental knowledge
- Learn how to lower costs, streamline your organization, prepare for new multimedia applications, and gain a competitive advantage by integrating your voice and data networks
The integration of voice and data networks is creating a fundamental change in the telecommunications and data industries. This change means better phone service, lower prices, new features, less maintenance, and more choices, leading to a complete convergence of the data networking and telecommunications industries into a single community. With all this growth and change, network engineers and managers need specific information on how to integrate and configure packetized voice networks. Integrating Voice and Data Networks is the one reference manual you need to learn how to integrate traditional voice technology into existing Cisco data networks.
Integrating Voice and Data Networks is both a conceptual reference and a practical how-to book that bridges the gap between existing telephony networks and the new world of packetized voice over data networks. Underlying technologies are explained in a non-product-specific manner that gives a holistic understanding of voice/data integration. You'll then follow a complete process to design and implement a variety of network scenarios, leveraging author Scott Keagy's extensive experience with real voice/data networks.
Integrating Voice and Data Networks focuses on the implementation of Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR), Voice over ATM (VoATM), and Voice over IP (VoIP) using Cisco IOS(r) voice gateways, including the Cisco MC3810, Cisco 2600/3600/7200/7500 series routers, and Cisco AS5300/AS5800 access servers.

terrific book for real world, CVOICE and CCIE tests, By Priscilla Oppenheimer (Ashland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Integrating Voice and Data Networks (Cisco Press Core Series) (Hardcover)
This book is a must-have for anyone implementing a data/voice project. The author is a CCIE who has worked for both Cisco and Pacific Bell. The book demonstrates the author's detailed understanding of the relevant standards, protocols, and implementation issues, including VoIP, VoATM, VoFR, SS7, digital and analog voice, QoS, etc.Don't be thrown off by the 800 pages. The author is such a great writer that he manages to explain everything so that anyone can understand it. But he doesn't over-simplify to the point of being wrong, like some authors. (Some of the first books that came out on voice/data were basically the author's PowerPoint slides ported to book format, errors and over-simplifications included.) Scott Keagy took care in producing a comprehensive book that doesn't gloss over the issues voice/data integrators will encounter. Get this book for studying for Cisco tests, but more importantly, get this book if you need help designing and implementing an integrated voice/data... Read more

Excellent general reference (with a few minor blemishes),
By A Customer
This review is from: Integrating Voice and Data Networks (Cisco Press Core Series) (Hardcover)
I specialize in voice/data interworking and this is, by far, the best (single) book on the market for anyone working in this area. Just the coverage of telephony concepts alone is worth the cost of the book. This one is definitely going to be a classic in the same way as "Top Down Network Design" is. Frankly, this book has so much good information in it I wouldn't even know where to begin reviewing it.That said, there are a few very minor issues I have with the book. For example, the coverage of some topics (like W/RED and TCP), while very well-written, has little to do with voice. The section on ATM is pretty sparse, and the author occasionally makes some statements that seem somewhat strange and point to a somewhat Cisco-centric mindset (e.g. claiming that SONET doesn't have a relationship to voice technology -- the primary goal of SONET was carrying TDM (read : voice) traffic.). The treatment of the E and EIR models was very good, but coverage of voice quality... Read more

This is the one to buy, By "wraith1066" (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Integrating Voice and Data Networks (Cisco Press Core Series) (Hardcover)
I'm a real person with no stake in the sales or success of this book. In my opinion, this one belongs on the shelf next to Doyle and Clark/Hamilton. This is the best book out so far on Cisco data/voice integration (I've read the rest). It covers everything...designing dial plans and hooking up to PBXx, QOS internals, etc. This one is going to be a classic. Now, would anyone please write one on CallManager? Anyone? Anyone? Beuler?
