3. IP Telephony : Definitions
IP is an acronym for Internet Protocol. It is a communications Protocol developed to support a packet switched network.
IP Telephony is the exchange of information primarily in the form of speech that utilises a mechanism known as Internet Protocol.
Internet Telephony: the combination of the term « Internet » with the term « telephony » is seen as inappropriate. The Internet offers many capabilities to users including the ability to carry bi-directional speech in real time or near real time. This is considered to be an intrinsic capability of the Internet and not a telecommunications service.
