SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY FINDING PEERING, AND ROUTING IN LINE EXCHANGE/PACKET EXCHANGE CONNECTION COMMUNICATION NETWORK USING TRIP PROTOCOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control communication between the termination of a line exchange and that of a packet exchange.;SOLUTION: In a communications system, information required for routing IP telephony administrative domains 11 and 14 is automatically collected by a location server 17. The location server operates in a listen-only mode, and peered by a TRIP inter-domain protocol. The peered location server finds routing information by using a TRIP protocol. Thus, route data of both of internal telephone and an external telephone communication route can be updated automatically. In one embodiment, a peered router obtains the newest situation for the routing of a service provider, and adds a time stamp to collected data. Thus, history TRIP performance information can be collected and utilized.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
