Audio over IP

Audio over IP (AoIP) is a way that people can send audio (like music or conversations) through the internet. It works by breaking audio up into tiny pieces, called 'packets,' which are then sent over the internet one after another. At the other end, the packets are put back together to recreate the audio. This way, people can listen to audio from all over the world without having to use wires or cables.
