[VOIPSEC] VoIP Managed Security Services

[Savage, John C (John)]

How would VoIP traffic differ from any other public or private IP traffic
from the service providers perspective?

For site to site connections the simplest route is still going to be sending
the packets across whatever encapsulation method that's used for other IP
traffic.  Priority would (or should) be given to voice streams vs. data, but
beyond that?

For external connections that will likely cross provider boundaries, VoIP
capable devices would be needed, but it seems that it's still just IP
traffic and needs to be secured in much the same fashion as any other
traffic.

I'd assume in the future as the telephony and data services groups in
corporations merge this will change.  But it will be more from a QoS and
traffic optimization perspective than anything else.

After doing some prelim research on the topic, it appears that many of the
known managed security service players do not offer VoIP managed security
services.  Is there a difference between VoIP managed security services and
IDS/IPS, Firewall, VPN managed security services ? Who are the market
leaders in this space ?? Is it really a space ?? Or is it just another word,
for managed device support or remote access support via IP versus modem
based support ??

/thanks
