What is VoIP Protocols?

VoIP protocols are the foundation of Voice over Internet Protocol technology, which enables voice and multimedia communication over IP networks like the internet instead of traditional phone lines. These protocols, such as SIP, H.323, and RTP, define how audio and video data are packetized, transmitted, and managed during a call or session. They handle tasks such as call setup, media encoding/decoding, and call termination, enabling functionalities like making phone calls over the internet, video conferencing, and unified communications.
