For this, we prepared an experimental setup to emulate the two types of networks. In particular, the experimental arrangement for opaque networks emulated packet loss and jitter; for all-optical networks the variation of the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) was emulated. The VoIP flow was generated by the G.711 and G.729 codecs, and the performance of these codecs in the emulated network was rated in terms of the R Factor, which is a computational tool developed by ITU-T and described by the Model E. The experimental results showed that G.711 codec has a better performance than the G.729 codec in opaque networks. On the other hand, the performance of G.729 was better in all-optical networks. Moreover, results for alloptical networks suggested that system performance depends not only on the OSNR, but also on the absolute value of the signal power. Results also showed that OSNRs higher than 14 dB did kept the factor R at its maximum. / O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar experimentalmente um fluxo de voz sobre IP (Voice Over IP, VoIP) em redes opacas e redes ?pticas transparentes. Para isso, foi montando um arranjo experimental emulando os dois tipos de redes. Em especial, nas redes opacas o arranjo experimental emulou perda de pacotes e varia??o do atraso e, nas redes ?pticas transparentes, foi emulada a varia??o da rela??o sinal-ru?do ?ptica (Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio, OSNR). O fluxo de VoIP foi gerado pelos codecs G.711 e G.729, e a avalia??o do desempenho desses codecs nas redes emuladas foi feita em termos do Fator R, que ? uma ferramenta computacional desenvolvida pelo ITU-T e descrita pelo Modelo E. Os resultados experimentais permitiram concluir que, em geral, o codec G.711 possui um desempenho melhor do que o codec G.729 nas redes opacas. No entanto, nas redes ?pticas transparentes o desempenho do codec G.729 foi melhor. Al?m disso, os resultados para as redes ?pticas transparentes sugeriram que o desempenho do sistema depende n?o apenas da OSNR, mas tamb?m do valor absoluto da pot?ncia do sinal e ru?do. Os resultados tamb?m mostraram que OSNRs superiores a 14 dB mantiveram o fator R em seu m?ximo.
