Routing voice over internet protocol (voip) calls among service providers
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924383B2) discloses a method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable media for routing Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) calls efficiently. The method involves receiving a request to route a VOIP call, determining an indicator of multiple service providers based on the communication invitation message, selecting a service provider and a routing rule, and routing the call accordingly. The apparatus includes processors and memory storing instructions to execute the routing process. The system comprises two apparatuses, one for routing the call and the other for sending the routing request. The computer-readable media stores instructions for routing VOIP calls based on various parameters.
The patent details the selection process based on information such as ingress trunk name, calling party domain name, and organization header value. It also involves storing a table indicating routing rules, service providers, and combinations of indicators and other information. Additionally, the system allows for receiving a routing preference database from the service provider to determine routing rules for different call types. The disclosed technology aims to streamline the routing of VOIP calls by efficiently selecting service providers and routing rules based on specific parameters within the communication invitation message, ultimately enhancing the overall VOIP call routing process for improved efficiency and effectiveness.
