Describing technical processes

A A technical process: how VoIP works

With VoIP, Voice over Internet Protocol, your voice is digitized and then broken into small data packets.
To make a phone call, an analogue telephone must be hooked up, linked, to an ATA, an analogue telephone adaptor. When you pick up the receiver and dial a number, the tones are converted by the ATA to digital data and temporarily stored. When your friend picks up the phone, a session is set up, established, between both computers. During the conversation the systems transmit packets of data that are sent back and forth through your VoIP company's call processor. They are received by the ATA and converted to the analogue audio signal that you hear. When you hang up, a signal is sent by the ATA to finish the session.
VoIP calls can also be delivered via an IP telephone with an Internet connection. Adopted from How Stuff Works
