In einen Notfall greift man ganz selbstverständlich zum nächsten Telefon, um Feuerwehr, Rettung oder Polizei zu alarmieren. Damit die gewohnte Funktion "Notruf" in Zukunft auch mittels Voice over IP funktioniert, hat die Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) eine neue Architektur entwickelt, die in diesem Handbuch dargestellt und erklärt ist. Neben der theoretischen Abhandlung bietet der Praxisteil des Buches mehrere Anleitungen, um Schritt für Schritt mit den Abläufen bei einem VoIP-Notruf vertraut zu werden. Im deutschen Sprachraum ist dies das erste Buch, welches sich umfassend mit der Thematik Notruf via Internettechnologie beschäftigt.
