Hello,

Please could you explain me what the difference between telephony over IP and Voice over IP? and what is the purpose of each one?

THANKS A LOT

Technically speaking, Voice Over IP is the ability to stream audio over a network, but in the industry, "VoIP" means making telephone calls over the network using the IP protocol.

TOIP is a term (that I had never heard of before reading this question) that seems to be a little more specific in that it connotes telephone calls (which includes the voice and signaling required).

In practice, use "VoIP" and not "ToIP". Everyone will know what you are talking about.

just my two cents.
