1 An architecture requires that the underlying system be treated in terms of a set of commonly understood elements that have a clearly demarcated set of functions and interfaces that allow for the basic set of elements to be combined. The way the elements then can be combined, reflected against the ultimate types of services provided, determines the architecture. Architecture is derived from two factors: technology and worldview. Technology places bounds on what is achievable; however, those bounds are typically well beyond the limits self-imposed by the designers.

2 Two class 1 applications: Local-loop bypass using cable and voice over private infrastructure Local Yes Reliability Yes No Always On No No Ubiquitous 31 Taxonomy of Internet Telephony Applications 32 Applications, Architectures, and Industry Structures A significant aspect of this variant is that while it is fully interoperable with the PSTN and uses the existing telephones of the consumer, it begins a push of function toward the edge of the network.

The class 3 options represent the important long-term outcome of the Internet telephony evolution. However, the final speculative form of class 3 is not practical today, because the necessary augments to the Internet are not in place, and the utility and usability of the service features to the consumer have not been demonstrated. I believe that Internet telephony will evolve as a series of incremental steps.
