The VoIP Application Interface Layer (VAIL) abstracts the lower-level interface provided by the Real-time Communications (RTC) Client API to provide developers with programming constructs better suited to use in Voice over IP (VoIP) applications.

This abstraction also enables developers to replace the call control and media transport implementations provided by the RTC Catalog item, which use SIP and RTP, with other implementations, without requiring code that uses the VAIL to change.

The VAIL provides VoIP services to the Telephony User Interface (TUI) Catalog item.

For more information about building an IP phone using Windows CE, including links to other VoIP-related catalog items, see Developing an IP Phone.
