When working with FoIP, there are usually two approaches to it: real-time and store-and-forward. The primary difference between the two is the delivery and method of receipt confirmation. Using FoIP has many cost advantages to it. For one thing the cost factor is reduced because you are transmitting the information in analog format using 64 kbps of bandwidth. And this occurs in both directions not just one. The information is first converted from a digital format on the computer. The software used then transmits this signal as analog over the phone lines, to a receiving station that converts it back to digital to be viewed. However, if the line used is already digital, then no conversion is necessary except to split the signal into packets and add the header and footer, so the network device will know when the packet begins and ends. This signal is then transferred by way of a terminal to a FoIP Gateway where it is transmitted to another FoIP Gateway to the receiving terminal.
