Abstract
At least one exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a method, comprising automatically obtaining real-time measurement data for a telephone network between a transit carrier and a predetermined terminating carrier; and automatically providing the real-time measurement data via the Internet to an originating carrier associated with the transit carrier. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. This abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope.
Claims25
A method, comprising:
- receiving an instruction from a user, the instruction entered via a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprising a user-selectable plurality of real-time traffic measurements, the instruction adapted to cause instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data to be sorted according to a user selected real-time traffic measurement;
- automatically obtaining instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data for a telephone network between a transit carrier and a predetermined terminating carrier;
- and
- automatically providing the instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data via the Internet to an originating carrier associated with the transit carrier, the instantaneous real-time traffic data comprising data regarding a percentage of satellite circuits with respect to total circuits from the transit carrier to the terminating carrier.
A system, comprising
- means for receiving an instruction from a user, the instruction entered via a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprising a user-selectable plurality of real-time traffic measurements, the instruction adapted to cause instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data to be sorted according to a user selected real-time traffic measurement;
- means for automatically obtaining instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data for a telephone network between a transit carrier and a predetermined terminating carrier;
- and
- means for automatically providing the instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data via the Internet to an originating carrier associated with the transit carrier, the instantaneous real-time traffic data comprising data regarding a percentage of satellite circuits with respect to total circuits from the transit carrier to the terminating carrier.
A computer-readable medium containing instructions for activities comprising:
- receiving an instruction from a user, the instruction entered via a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprising a user-selectable plurality of real-time traffic measurements, the instruction adapted to cause instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data to be sorted according to a user selected real-time traffic measurement;
- automatically obtaining instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data for a telephone network between a transit carrier and a predetermined terminating carrier;
- and
- automatically providing the instantaneous real-time traffic measurement data via the Internet to an originating carrier associated with the transit carrier, the instantaneous real-time traffic data comprising data regarding a percentage of satellite circuits with respect to total circuits from the transit carrier to the terminating carrier.
