to participate from within their network. For
instance the Google+ provides one such platform
where people within Google circle network can
host a call. This project has two related goals:
1. To understand and explore new protocols
for increasing the efficiency and quality of
calls based on VoIP protocol
2. To understand and explore new approaches
for easy and intuitive integration of social

Similarly an increasing number of people are
spending their time on social media. Therefore

social media platform with VoIP technology is
gaining popularity. This would allow people
