Voice over IP Internet telephony uses the Internet to convey voice data. The advantage of this is a large cost reduction in office to office calls as ell as international calls made via a VOIP gateway.
How Voice over IP works?
VOIP works by using the Internet to carry the voice data in a similar way to messenger and webcam applications. VOIP uses your IP address to route calls. Your IP address is the number used by your ISP to identify your computer or network when connected to the Internet. Example of an IP address would be 192.168.1.1, 0.0.0.0, 10.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, 84.xxx.123.7.
VOIP Router
Networks may have many IP addresses some fixed (ie never change), some dynamic (change frequently) and both public (net) and private (intranet). The private IP locates the IP of your individual computer on your network. The VOIP router hardware, uses NAT network address translation table to route public Internet traffic to your private machine and also to direct VOIP call data to your PC or VOIP Internet telephone.

Once setup, your VOIP computer can make free calls to any other VOIP enabled computer anywhere in the world! Mobile users can use VPN Virtual private networking to make calls from their laptop.
