    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling a network service provider, e.g., a VoIP network provider, to create configuration files containing network based parameters that support global telephony capabilities (e.g., in country services) such as in country ring tones, dialing patterns, network announcements, and signaling tones that can be offered to users who want in country telephony capabilities independent of their location is disclosed. These global telephony capability configurations can be downloaded to intelligent IP phones or based in the VoIP network for access by subscribers' telephony devices.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling VoIP service providers to dynamically adjust international calling rates as a function of adjustments made with partner carrier arrangements that VoIP service providers put in place are disclosed. Thus VoIP service providers can pass on savings, if the new calling rate is lower than the old calling rate, to their subscribers in order to enhance the loyalty of existing subscribers. Instead of having subscribers to call into customer service centers to take advantage of these new lower international calling rates, the new calling rates will be updated dynamically and immediately for subscribers without these subscribers having to call in to request their billing rates to match the new calling rates.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种方法和装置,用于使VoIP服务提供商能够动态地调整国际呼叫速率,作为与VoIP服务提供商所在的合作伙伴运营商安排进行的调整的函数。 因此,VoIP服务提供商可以将新的呼叫率低于旧的呼叫速率的节省费用传递给用户,以提高现有用户的忠诚度。 而不是让订户呼叫客户服务中心以利用这些新的较低的国际电话费率,新的呼叫费率将被动态地更新,用户不需要呼叫来请求其计费费率来匹配新的呼叫 价格。

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for alarming on all signaling protocol messages that fail in substantial numbers on any particular routes within an IP network are disclosed. For example, upon receiving these alarms, the network will attempt to identify, and to correct the error producing conditions to prevent further call signaling message failures.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于在IP网络中的任何特定路由上大量数量失败的所有信令协议消息进行报警的方法和装置。 例如,在接收到这些警报后,网络将尝试识别并纠正错误产生条件,以防止进一步的呼叫信令消息故障。

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for re-routing a call in a packet network during failures is described. In one example, a failure condition is detected for a destination endpoint for the call. At least one alternative endpoint address is identified from an alternative routing plan registered with the packet network in response to the failure condition. For example, various alternative routing plans may be registered with the packet network and stored in a database. Each of the alternative routing plans may include alternative endpoint address data for a plurality of endpoint devices. The database may be queried using the destination endpoint as an index value and the at least one alternative endpoint address may be retrieved. The call is then routed to the at least one alternative endpoint address.
