Abstract: The present invention provides a method of providing Differentiated Service (DiffServ) based Quality of Service (QoS) to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) packets through a router. In the QoS providing method, VoIP call session information including source and destination IP addresses, source and destination user datagram protocol (UDP) port numbers, and requested QoS information is provided to the QoS control server by the VoIP call control device. Source and destination routers are found using the VoIP call session information and the VoIP call session information requiring provision of QoS is sent to the source and destination routers by the QoS control server. The present invention can recognize VoIP packets, provide QoS to the VoIP packets, and transmit voice packets of high quality.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based load balancing apparatus and method. The apparatus receives a message transmitted from a user at a position in front of a plurality of proxy servers each connected in parallel and decodes the received message. The apparatus selectively performs addition, renewal and deletion of user information according to an expiration field of a header and transmits the decoded message to a proxy server, if the decoded message is a REGISTER message, searches for a proxy server that will handle a destination address, increases a load of the proxy server and transmits the decoded message to the proxy server, if the decoded message is a INVITE message, and examines a proxy server of the destination address and transmits the decoded message to the proxy server, if the decoded message is a BYE message.
