00033 /*! \page t38_core_page T.38 real time FAX over IP message handling
00034 There are two ITU recommendations which address sending FAXes over IP networks. T.37 specifies a
00035 method of encapsulating FAX images in e-mails, and transporting them to the recipient (an e-mail
00036 box, or another FAX machine) in a store-and-forward manner. T.38 defines a protocol for
00037 transmitting a FAX across an IP network in real time. The core T.38 modules implements the basic
00038 message handling for the T.38, real time, FAX over IP (FoIP) protocol.
00039 
00040 The T.38 protocol can operate between:
00041     - Internet-aware FAX terminals, which connect directly to an IP network. The T.38 terminal module
00042       extends this module to provide a complete T.38 terminal.
00043     - FAX gateways, which allow traditional PSTN FAX terminals to communicate through the Internet.
00044       The T.38 gateway module extends this module to provide a T.38 gateway.
00045     - A combination of terminals and gateways.
00046 
00047 T.38 is the only standardised protocol which exists for real-time FoIP. Reliably transporting a
00048 FAX between PSTN FAX terminals, through an IP network, requires use of the T.38 protocol at FAX
00049 gateways. VoIP connections are not robust for modem use, including FAX modem use. Most use low
00050 bit rate codecs, which cannot convey the modem signals accurately. Even when high bit rate
00051 codecs are used, VoIP connections suffer dropouts and timing adjustments, which modems cannot
00052 tolerate. In a LAN environment the dropout rate may be very low, but the timing adjustments which
00053 occur in VoIP connections still make modem operation unreliable. T.38 FAX gateways deal with the
00054 delays, timing jitter, and packet loss experienced in packet networks, and isolate the PSTN FAX
00055 terminals from these as far as possible. In addition, by sending FAXes as image data, rather than
00056 digitised audio, they reduce the required bandwidth of the IP network.
00057 
00058 \section t38_core_page_sec_1 What does it do?
00059 
00060 \section t38_core_page_sec_2 How does it work?
00061 
00062 Timing differences and jitter between two T.38 entities can be a serious problem, if one of those
00063 entities is a PSTN gateway.
00064 
00065 Flow control for non-ECM image data takes advantage of several features of the T.30 specification.
00066 First, an unspecified number of 0xFF octets may be sent at the start of transmission. This means we
00067 can add endless extra 0xFF bytes at this point, without breaking the T.30 spec. In practice, we
00068 cannot add too many, or we will affect the timing tolerance of the T.30 protocol by delaying the
00069 response at the end of each image. Secondly, just before an end of line (EOL) marker we can pad
00070 with zero bits. Again, the number is limited only by need to avoid upsetting the timing of the
00071 step following the non-ECM data.
