IP Voice Security: Red Herring or Real Risk?

Tags:
voip - ip telephony

Overview A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack occurs when someone deliberately floods a particular network with so much illegitimate network traffic that it affects the support of legitimate traffic. Obviously this can impact voice traffic once voice and data traffic are converged on the data network. When voice and data traffic are merged onto a single network, voice becomes an application on the network and is, therefore, exposed to the same threats as data applications. Some of the threats are Denials of Service (DoS), viruses and worms.
