ABSTRACT


In this project we have worked on development of Softphone while using
Asteriskwin32 as Server. The Softphone so developed has a special feature
ofbringing people together by calling. The call can be made by connecting
the client with the server through which calls can be made.

This Softphone is build using various protocols like Session Initiation
Protocol, Internet Message Access Protocol, Voice over Internet Protocol,
Session Description Protocol and Realtime Transport Protocol for initiating
and terminating the session, description, sending and reception. An
Asterisk gateway interface is used to provide an interface between the two
clients. This softphone is easy to use once the client has registered himself
on the server, then communication will begin.

It also includes certain future features like sticker chatting and games.
Features like routing and call handling, history of the recent calls,
phonebook with multiple contacts make it much more useful and user-
friendly.

In chapter 1
This chapter introducesthe project about how does it work and allows
accessing internet for calling.



(xii)
In chapter 2
This chapter gives the comparison between the existing and the proposed
system.

In chapter 3
This chapter defines the protocols used in this project. For media sessions
control (voice, games, etc.), SIP is the standard. For media sending and
reception, RTP is the standard. For media sessions description,SDPis the
standard and Voice over Internet Protocol.

In chapter 4
In this chapter requirement analysis is done which shows the systems
hardware and software requirements and also the functional requirements
that will be served by this project.

In chapter 5
In this chapter feasibility study is done to test whether the system that is
developed would be able to accomplish its task on the working grounds.

In chapter 6
In this chapterDFD, Modular design and System design is done that shows
graphical representations of stepwise activities and actions with support
provided to choice, iteration and concurrency.

In chapter 7
In this chapter asterisk server configuration and database designing is done
which is used for calling.
(xiii)
In chapter 8
In this chapter software testing process is given to verify that the completed
software package functions according to the expectations defined as per the
requirements.

In chapter 9
This chapter depicts the implementation of the system build by means of
snapshots. Many implementation may exist for a given specification or
standard.

In chapter 10
In this chapter project report is concluded giving brief explanation of how
the project is going to work practically. It is up to developers to take up
some inventory measures in order to bring this technology to people in a
more colorful way.

In chapter 11
In this chapter future scope of technology developed is given to show the
billion dollar market of the project along with the statistics.
