A trove of VoIP and IP telephony treasures

In my never-ending quest for good sources of information about voice over IP and IP telephony, I'm continually cruising the Web looking for the same. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a darn good collection of talks, papers, vendor lists, industry organizations, Web pages, Internet RFCs and reviews at a place that I didn't expect to find such coverage—namely, from the venerable but still interesting Dr. Raj Jain, noted IP expert (and apparent VoIP and Internet Telephony aficionado). He's still on the faculty at Ohio State University, because that's where his Web pages reside. I had the privilege and the pleasure of teaching on the faculty with Dr. Jain at Interop from 1996 to 2001, and always enjoyed the opportunity to hear him speak. He's a dynamite instructor who's always worth listening to and learning from!

isit Dr. Jain's Voice over IP and IP Telephony: References page, you'll find a whole slew of resources there, including:

He's also got a nicely formulated set of queries into the IETF's various databases on terms that include voice, media, PSTN, and telephony, among others.

Altogether, this is a nice resource, even if it is a bit dated. Maybe more of us should e-mail Dr. Jain and ask him to put somebody to work on bringing this great collection up to date!
