Project Goals

Integrate the 20 plus universities that are currently participating in the VoIP Testbed with the ViDeNet Global Dialing
Scheme (GDS). This will dramatically increase VoIP connectivity worldwide.
Create a "cookbook" to outline the process for connecting H.323 sites.
Create an operational help desk using the resources of the Texas A&M University VoIP lab and the engineering support made available from Cisco, Nortel, and others.
Investigate and deploy solutions for H.323/SIP interworking.
Explore ENUM, TRIP, and other techniques for scaling E.164 VoIP reachability.
