A tier 1 network is an Internet Protocol (IP) network that participates in the Internet solely via settlement-free interconnection, also known as settlement-free peering.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a communications protocol for signaling, for the purpose of controlling multimedia communication sessions.

Internet telephony, business IP telephone systems, service providers and carriers use SIP.

SIP can be used to set up and control voice and video calls, as well as instant messaging.

The most common application of SIP is the setup and termination of Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone calls.

Cloud communications are Internet-based voice and data communications where telecommunications applications, switching and storage are hosted by a third-party outside of the organization using them, and they are accessed over the public Internet.

Cloud services is a broad term, referring primarily to data-center-hosted services that are run and accessed over an Internet infrastructure.

Until recently, these services have been data-centric, but with the evolution of VoIP (voice over Internet protocol), voice has become part of the cloud phenomenon.

Cloud telephony (also known as hosted telephony) refers specifically to voice services and more specifically the replacement of conventional business telephone equipment, such as a Private branch exchange (PBX), with third-party VoIP service.

SD-WAN is an acronym for software-defined networking in a wide area network (WAN).

An SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by decoupling (separating) the networking hardware from its control mechanism.

This concept is similar to how software-defined networking implements virtualization technology to improve data center management and operation.

Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called telecopying or telefax (the latter short for telefacsimile), is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device.

The original document is scanned with a fax machine (or a telecopier), which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones.

The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy.

Early systems used direct conversions of image darkness to audio tone in a continuous or analog manner.

Since the 1980s, most machines modulate the transmitted audio frequencies using a digital representation of the page which is compressed to quickly transmit areas which are all-white or all-black.
