It is more difficult to transmit VoIP and video over IP signals over a packet-switched network than it is to t?

Question

It is more difficult to transmit VoIP and video over IP signals over a packet-switched network than it is to transmit data signals.

Answer 1

t is no more difficult to transmit VoIP than data. The network doesn't care about the data being sent, only getting it from point A to point B. Making it work right might be more difficult however. In order to work, the packets need to be in order, arrive in a timely fashion, and arrive reliably. That's why it takes a bit more setup than standard data connections.

Answer 2

I disagree. I believe the network has an easier time with VoIP or Video packets because these types of packets are sent via UDP (and not TCP). This means that parts of these transmissions can go missing and the missing packets are not retransmitted. Whereas data packets are transmitted via TCP and any missing packets require the retransmission of the missing packets.



So in this respect, the network works less on UDP packets.

Answer 3

Yes it is more difficult.
