Voice over IP (VoIP) technology has radically increased due to its advantages such as flexibility and low cost. On the other hand, the security issue in VoIP network has become an important field in order to name and mitigate the several types of attacks including call hijacking, eavesdropping and denial of service (DoS).


This research paper discusses security in VoIP networks by giving a brief background about the VoIP structure and protocols before setting up a testbed in order to conduct different kinds of attack by running some security tools and analyzes the network behavior under these attacks. The results of experiments will be presented and commented in this paper. Finally, a proposed solution to block the flooding attack will be discussed before conclude the main points which found in these experiment.
