Intelligent Peering
Intelligent VoIP peering, the optimized direct exchange of VoIP traffic without conversion to the PSTN, has the potential to bring many benefits in cost savings, higher quality and convenience to VoIP service providers.
Key Peering Features
Application-level Routing
Covergence Session Manager (CSM) provides policy-based adaptive routing that allows organizations to dynamically route information based on quality, cost, congestion, location and business rules through its web services interface. Adaptive routing optimizes quality, performance and reliability for real-time traffic being transmitted over IP networks. CSM enables routing based on rules such as:
- Most Preferred : A preferred route can be specified so multiple carriers marked with the same preference will take the same route.
- Least Cost: Enables routing decisions to be based upon least cost. The flat-rate or rate-plan parameters of a carrier, carrier gateway or trunk group are utilized for this rule.
- Trunk QoS: Enables routing decisions to be based upon Quality-of-Service metrics.
- Least Load: Enables routing decisions to be based on the server with most available bandwidth.
- Least Calls: Enables routing decisions to be based on the server managing the least number of calls at routing decision time.
- Weighted Call Average: A weighted round robin algorithm determines the path of the session.
Security
Covergence Session Manager combats eavesdropping, theft of service, intrusion, denial of service and other attacks by securing real-time traffic and limiting access to the infrastructure that carries it.
Comprehensive Management
Covergence Session Manager provides superior policy-based control, monitoring and fault-tracing capabilities, for use with call routing, call detail recording and QoS management. As well as standard command line, web and SNMP interfaces, CSM allows customers to control every aspect of call management from within their own applications using Web Services. |
