[BBLISA-announce] May BBLISA talk - Asterisk and VOIP

[John P. Rouillard]

Hi all:

On Wednesday, May 8, 2013 I hope you will join me and K. M. Peterson
as he talks about Asterisk and VOIP.

  The near-universal provision of voice services and their terminals
  (called "telephones") predates the Internet. While on some level,
  voice traffic via TCP/IP is just another protocol, there are
  challenges in making it "just work" like the traditional phones that
  we are all used to. There are the technical issues of the nature of
  the data, interfacing with the still robust telephone network, and of
  course the UI expectations and experience.


  This talk will provide insight into the these technologies from that
  perspective to allow you to grasp the protocols and the context in
  which they interoperate, using an example implementation of Asterisk.

The meeting will be held at: MIT E-51, Room 145.
