Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to
provide voice-based communication with other
Internet users. The technology is extremely
advanced, but easy to use. It features excellent
sound quality, end-to-end encryption, and
automatic negotiation of firewalls or routers.
Among major features are SkypeOut and SkypeIn,
adding the possibility to make low-cost calls to
land line phones and having a fixed number to be
able to receive calls from land line phones.
