Abstract

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an advanced area for researchers. Many different methods are used to send voice over IP networks. With the development of modern telecommunications equipments and softwares telecommunication's malpractices are growing rapidly. Hence there is always a need for monitoring communications and guarantee both security and proper usage. This underlined research work stresses on the analysis of IP traffic and proposes an algorithm for detection mechanisms to control and limit VoIP's grey traffic. The algorithm emphasizes primarily on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) but it can be modified and used for all VoIP protocols like H. 323 and Inter-Asterisk eXchange protocol (IAX2). The suggested method is based on analyzing the pcap files. These files are used to filter VoIP traffic from network's total IP traffic by reading the header of each packet. The algorithm then extracts different parameters for generating call logs. VoIP packets of the same call are correlated to produce a Call Detail Record (CDR). The produced CDR contains the IP addresses of source and destination that make the calls. For identification of grey traffic these IP addresses are used. If the source IP address in the CDR is of a legal registered operator the user/call is declared as legal, otherwise the user/call is illegal.
