Quantum and promiscuous user agents

A computer program product including computer executable instructions stored onto a computer readable medium which, when executed by a processor of a computer, cause the computer to perform method, the instructions comprising:

• instructions to receive a request from an external communication endpoint to establish a communication with an internal communication endpoint, wherein the communication is on a gateway of an internal network, wherein the internal network is a SIP communications system;
• instructions to receive a phone number associated with the external communication endpoint;
• instructions to instantiate a promiscuous user agent on the gateway for the communication, wherein the promiscuous user agent is associated with the external communication endpoint;
• instructions to determine whether a user identity is associated with the phone number;
• if a user identity is associated with the phone number, instructions to provide the user identity to the promiscuous user agent, wherein the promiscuous user agent becomes a quantum user agent after receiving the user identity;
• if a user identity is not associated with the phone number or after providing the user identity to the promiscuous user agent, instructions to begin the communication.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a request from an external communication endpoint to establish a communication with an internal communication endpoint, wherein the communication is on a gateway of an internal network, wherein the internal network is a SIP communications system;
• receiving a phone number associated with the external communication endpoint;
• instantiating a promiscuous user agent on the gateway for the communication, wherein the promiscuous user agent is associated with the external communication endpoint;
• determining whether a user identity is associated with the phone number;
• when a user identity is associated with the phone number, providing the user identity to the promiscuous user agent, wherein the promiscuous user agent becomes a quantum user agent after receiving the user identity;
• and
• when a user identity is not associated with the phone number or after providing the user identity to the promiscuous user agent, beginning the communication.

A system, comprising:

• a processor operable to:
• receive a request from an external communication endpoint to establish a communication with an internal communication endpoint, wherein the communication is on a gateway of an internal network, wherein the internal network is a SIP communications system;
• receive a phone number associated with the external communication endpoint;
• instantiate a promiscuous user agent on the gateway for the communication, wherein the promiscuous user agent is associated with the external communication endpoint;
• determine whether a user identity is associated with the phone number;
• when a user identity is associated with the phone number, provide the user identity to the promiscuous user agent, wherein the promiscuous user agent becomes a quantum user agent after receiving the user identity;
• and
• when a user identity is not associated with the phone number or after providing the user identity to the promiscuous user agent, begin the communication.
