5.5 FAQ
How does VoIP work?
Voice over IP (VoIP), sends calls over the Internet or any Internet Protocol
(IP) network by converting voice traffic into data packets. These packets are
routed over the IP network the same way as other data, then reassembled at
the point of arrival and converted back to voice.

phone calls. Voice quality is affected by numerous factors, including how it
is compressed and decompressed for delivery over the Internet and how
packets are processed. A few steps can help ensure call quality.
