VOIP
Stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and in short, this means sending voice information using the Internet Protocol (IP)
whereby voice information is sent in digital packet form, rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols
of the Public Switched Telephone Network(PSTN). An advantage of VOIP is the cost savings to be made on long distance
phone calls, by utilising the Internet and local access charges as opposed to the standard long distance phone costs
levied by the phone companies.

VPN
Stands for Virtual Private Network, and usually refers to a network in which some of the parts are connected using the
public Internet, but the data sent across the Internet is encrypted, so the entire network is "virtually" private.
