In recent years, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) enabled telephony  networks have introduced a number of radical innovations in that way  that people use telephony in general, including allowing people to take  business-related calls seamlessly, even when they are not physically “at  the office”. Research the elements that comprise SIP and VoIP. Put  yourself into the position of a system administrator considering  updating your business’s landline telephony system. What elements of the  technology would you assign the greatest value? Would you even consider  using a VoIP telephony solution rather than a traditional landline? Why  or why not? If you have “real world” experience with VoIP, please  include a brief overview of that experience. If you do not have personal  experience of the technology, include an overview of a case study of  VoIP.

Based on your research, write a 3–5 page paper that researches the  concept of internet telephony, as well as providing an analysis and  comparison of several telephony technologies currently available.
