1. An apparatus comprising:
- a session controller configured to be coupled to a database and configured to receive an indication associated with an ingress call, the session controller being further configured to query the database for an ingress-call peer associated with the ingress call, the session controller being further configured to query the database for a dynamic-peer-definition template associated with the ingress call when the ingress-call peer is not identified upon query of the database, the session controller being further configured to reject the ingress call when the dynamic-peer-definition template is not identified upon query of the database.

Abstract
A session controller configured to be coupled to a database and configured to receive an indication associated with an ingress call is disclosed. The session controller is further configured to query the database for an ingress-call peer associated with the ingress call, and to query the database for a dynamic-peer-definition template associated with the ingress call when the ingress-call peer is not identified upon query of the database. The session controller is further configured to reject the ingress call when the dynamic-peer-definition template is not identified upon query of the database.

5. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an indication of an ingress call at a session controller;
querying a peer database for an ingress-call peer associated with the ingress call;
when the ingress-call peer is not identified by the querying of the peer database, querying a template database for a dynamic-peer-definition template associated with the ingress call; and
when the dynamic-peer-definition template is not identified by the querying of the template database, rejecting the ingress call. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A computer program stored on a computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising:
-
a receiving instruction to receive an ingress-call indicator associated with an ingress call;
a first querying instruction configured to query a peer database for an ingress-call peer associated with the ingress call;
a second querying instruction to query a template database for a dynamic-peer-definition template associated with the ingress call when the ingress-call peer is not identified by the querying of the peer database; and
a rejection instruction to reject the ingress call when the dynamic-peer-definition template is not identified by the querying of the template database. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
