Abstract
A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) detecting apparatus for detecting unintended VoIP traffic between a VoIP device and a VoIP network includes an interface configured to couple between the device and the VoIP network, a receiver configured to sense packets on the VoIP network, an indicator, and a processor coupled to a memory device. The processor is configured to receive a plurality of packets sensed by the receiver, determine a packet type for each of the plurality of packets sensed by the receiver, determine the presence of VoIP traffic based on the determined packet types, and activate the indicator based on the determination of the presence of VoIP traffic.
Claims20
A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) detecting apparatus for detecting unintended VoIP traffic between a VoIP device and a VoIP network, said apparatus comprising:
- an interface configured to couple between said device and said VoIP network;
- a receiver configured to sense packets on the VoIP network;
- an indicator;
- and
- a processor coupled to a memory device, said processor is programmed to:
- receive a plurality of packets sensed by said receiver;
- determine a packet type for each of the plurality of packets sensed by said receiver;
- determine the presence of VoIP traffic based on the determined packet types;
- and
- activate said indicator based on the determination of the presence of VoIP traffic.
The VoIP detection apparatus of claim 9, wherein said input interface comprises at least one of a display and a touchscreen interface.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for use in protecting one or more communications devices coupled to a VoIP network, said computer readable medium comprising program instructions when executed by a processor causes the processor to:
- receive a plurality of packets sensed by a receiver configured to sense packets on the network;
- determine a packet type for each of the plurality of packets sensed by the receiver;
- determine the presence of VoIP traffic based on the determined packet types;
- and alert a user based on the determination of the presence of VoIP traffic.
A system for protecting one or more communications devices, said system comprising:
- a network communicatively coupled to the one or more communications devices;
- and
- an apparatus for use in detecting when a VoIP communication session is actively established via said network, said apparatus comprising:
- an interface, a receiver, and a processor, said interface coupled between said apparatus and said network, said receiver configured to sense packets on said network, said processor programmed to receive a plurality of packets sensed by said receiver, determine a packet type for each of the plurality of packets sensed by said receiver, determine the presence of VoIP traffic based on the determined packet types, and provide an indication of the presence of VoIP traffic on said network.
