METHOD OF PROVIDING AN MMoIP COMMUNICATION SERVICE

A method of providing an MMoIP communication service, comprising:

• transmitting one or more MMoIP packet streams established between a first endpoint of an IP communication network and a second endpoint of the IP communication network, whereby the one or more MMoIP packet streams comprise MMoIP payload data and/or control data;
• inserting control data directed to a processor in at least one MMoIP packet stream of the one or more MMoIP packet streams at the first endpoint and/or the second endpoint;
• transmitting the one or more MMoIP packet streams via an MMoIP switch of the IP communication network;
• monitoring, by the MMoIP switch, the one or more MMoIP packet streams;
• detecting, by the MMoIP switch, the control data directed to the processor;
• and
• forwarding, by the MMoIP switch, the detected control data to the processor.
