As the telecommunications industry rapidly migrates to an infrastructure reliant on Internet Protocol (IP), it is becoming quite clear that the future of the Internet is the future of telecommunications. Providing the necessary background, training, and technical information needed to stay abreast of and even ahead of the IP trend, this book lays a foundation for those deploying or using IP services. The text discusses the primary IP protocols (IPv4 and IPv6), real-time protocols, and three major IP services (VoIP, IPTV, and Mobile TV), including IP over power line communication.
