Voice over the Internet Protocol uses the internet’s packet-switching facility in providing phone service. Over circuit switching, Voice over the Internet Protocol has numerous benefits. Like for instance, packet switching permits several phone calls to occupy the number of spaces in a circuit-switched network. With its data compression, the size of calls are reduced thus it can fit into the single call space. Plus, data networks already recognize such technology. By using the technology, telephone networks instantly modified their system to communicate as how computers do.
