VoIP: State of art for global connectivity - A critical review

The Internet has revolutionized the telecommunication systems by supporting new applications and services. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is one of the most prominent telecommunication services based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The signal quality of the VoIP system depends on several factors such as networking conditions, coding processes, speech content and error correction schemes. The work in the present paper reviewed these issues, used for providing toll-quality communication service to the users over VoIP system. From the very beginning of transferring the voice data over packet switched networks, the journey of the packet based communications to modern VoIP and advancements to improve the service of the VoIP system has been summarized in this work.
