IP Telephony:- The concept behind Internet telephony (also known as Voice over IP or IP telephony) is a simple one: the transfer of voice messages using Internet protocol (IP) networks. This technology enables standard data packets to transmit multimedia information such as voice or video over the Internet or any other IP-based local- or wide-area network. It draws on open standards and recommendations generated by international groups such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Asterisk:- Asterisk is an open source software PBX (Private Branch Exchange), created by Digium, Inc. and a continuously growing user and developer base. Digium invests in both developing the Asterisk source code and low cost telephony hardware that works with Asterisk. Asterisk runs on Linux and other Unix platforms with OR without hardware that connects your server to the traditional global telephony network.
