Abstract
Methods and systems for routing multimedia traffic are described. A method may include receiving a communication originating from a user, transposing an alias transport network over one or more existing networks to route the communication, and routing the communication based on mapping rules.
Claims20
A method of routing communication, comprising:
- receiving, via a carrier network, a communication initiated by a user;
- determining a quality of service level for the communication initiated by the user, wherein the quality of service level is based on at least one characteristic of the user, wherein the at least one characteristic includes at least one of a length of time the user is a member of an enterprise, a type of product of the enterprise purchased by the user, or a location of the user;
- determining a type of device or application used to initiate the communication;
- and
- routing, over an alias transport network, the communication to a destination based on A) the type of device or application used to initiate the communication, and B) the quality of service level for the at least one characteristic of the user,
- wherein the alias transport network is different from the carrier network associated with the user,
- wherein the alias transport network utilizes one or more network components from one or more networks different from the carrier network associated with the user to provide the determined quality of service level.

A system for routing communication, comprising:
- an enterprise routing engine operable to:
- receive, via a carrier network, a communication initiated by a user;
- determine a quality of service level for the communication initiated by the user, wherein the quality of service level is based on at least one characteristic of the user, wherein the at least one characteristic includes at least one of a length of time the user is a member of an enterprise, a type of product of the enterprise purchased by the user, or a location of the user;
- determine a type of device or application used to initiate the communication;
- and
- route, over an alias transport network, the communication to a destination based on A) the type of device or application used to initiate the communication, and B) the quality of service level for the at least one characteristic of the user,
- wherein the alias transport network is different from the carrier network associated with the user,
- wherein the alias transport network utilizes one or more network components from one or more networks different from the carrier network associated with the user to provide the determined quality of service level.
5 more elements
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium containing a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a machine to:
- receive, via a carrier network, a communication initiated by a user;
- determine a quality of service level for the communication initiated by the user, wherein the quality of service level is based on at least one characteristic of the user, wherein the at least one characteristic includes at least one of a length of time the user is a member of an enterprise, a type of product of the enterprise purchased by the user, or a location of the user;
- determine a type of device or application used to initiate the communication;
- and
- route, over an alias transport network, the communication to a destination based on A) the type of device or application used to initiate the communication, and B) the quality of service level for the at least one characteristic of the user,
- wherein the alias transport network is different from the carrier network associated with the user,
- wherein the alias transport network utilizes one or more network components from one or more networks different from the carrier network associated with the user to provide the determined quality of service level.
