Network convergence allows for video transmission, telephone calls, and data communication to occur over a single network. Priority packet setting must be used in a converged network to prioritize voice transmission packets over general internet browsing packets. Converged networks integrate different types of network traffic together to share bandwidth.

1. Converged Network
Network convergence refers to the
coexistence of three networks within a single
network: video transmission, a telephone
network and data communication. Priority
packet setting will be used in a converged
network as there needs to be priority's put in
place so that packets containing data for a
voice transmittion will take priority over the
packets from someone who is just browsing
the internet.
