Simulation of Voice Over IP for the Battlespace Communications System (Land)

Abstract

Project JP2072 aims to enhance communications in the land environment, providing more capacity for computer data traffic. One potential option is an Internet Protocol-based network carrying both voice and data. An important consideration for a converged network is whether or not acceptable voice services can be supported given the additional data traffic load. This report describes a method to estimate the quality of Voice over IP calls in the presence of other network traffic, based on the ITU E-Model. Required inputs to the E-Model are determined from a computer simulation of the network. The authors illustrate the application of the model to a reference Parakeet network. Two companion reports present corresponding simulations of ATM-based solutions, which, together with the simulation described in this report, will enable an evaluation of the options proposed for project JP2072.
