Feature
Benefit
Voice/Fax over IP
Voice and fax traffic are transport independent, because IP traffic at Layer 3 can travel
over any Layer 1 or Layer 2 media, including ISDN, leased lines, serial connections,
Frame Relay, Ethernet, Token Ring, and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

Voice/Fax over Frame
Relay
Relay
Applications requiring voice and fax traffic to be routed directly over Frame Relay
networks will take advantage of FRF.11 and FRF.12 VoFR and fragmentation standards.
This solution also uses features found only in Cisco IOS software for maintaining voice
quality. VoIP can also be transported over FR.

Voice over ATM
Transport voice directly over ATM networks using AAL2 or AAL 5 encapsulation.
Leverages existing ATM networks as a direct transport method for voice. VoATM
requires ATM interfaces such as T1/E1 ATM, IMA, DS3/E3 or OC-3, or DSL WICs. VoIP
can also be transported over ATM.
