Question Hi Eric,

Thanks.

Answer Hi John. My apologies for taking so long to answer your question. Perhaps the latest and greatest in telecommunication technology is VoIP, or voice over internet protocol. Basically it's a voice communications network. It operates similiarly to data networks in the fact that VoIP has its own servers. VoIP can be used in conjunction with data networks. This is called convergence. To have a "converged" network, both voice and data is sent through the same port on the network switch. Data is sent over one layer, or VLAN, and the voice is sent over another VLAN. Once at the user, the phone itself can be used as a network hub, if it is equipped. The computers patch cable is connected to a port on the back of the phone. There really is no discernible difference is cost of a VoIP network over the long run, but it is costly at startup due to the equipment. Below is a link to the FCC's website concerning VoIP. Hope this helps! Thanks for the question.
