Estimating the term…
In a voice-over-IP communications network, call data records include dynamically assigned IP signaling addresses such as IPv6 signaling addresses used in provisioning communications sessions. Those dynamically assigned IP signaling addresses are computed from customer site identification codes using a reversible algorithm. The algorithm can then be reversed to compute a customer site identification code from an IP signaling address contained in a call data record, allowing the communications network provider to perform quality monitoring and diagnostics based on call data records.
A voice-over-IP communications network comprising a plurality of session border gateways, each session border gateway connected to a customer edge router of a customer site assigned an IPv6 signaling address, the IPv6 signaling address containing information uniquely and independently identifying the customer site without reference to a lookup table.
A method for provisioning a link between a session border gateway and a customer gateway router in a voice-over-IP communications network, comprising:
A method for generating call data for a call made in a voice-over-IP communications network, comprising:
