Method and system for providing voice over IP managed services utilizing a centralized data store
First Claim
1. A method for providing communication services, the method comprising:
- storing one or more user identifiers and an associated directory number in a centralized data store;
storing, in the centralized data store, routing information including one or more communication paths corresponding to the user identifier, wherein the routing information includes a data path or a circuit-switched path for establishing a call to the user; and
retrieving the routing information in response to a request for establishing the call to the directory number.

Abstract
An approach provides interdomain traversal to support packetized voice transmissions. A centralized data store, maintained by a service provider, stores one or more user identifiers and an associated directory number. The centralized data store also stores routing information including one or more communication paths corresponding to the user identifier, wherein the routing information includes a data path or a circuit-switched path for establishing a call to the user. In response to a request for establishing the call to the directory number, the data store retrieves the routing information for use to establish the call.

23. A method for establishing a packetized voice call, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request from a calling party to establish the packetized voice call with a called party;
submitting an inquiry, in response to the request, with a centralized data store for routing information associated with the called party, wherein the routing information specifies alternate paths including a data path and a circuit-switched path for establishing the packetized voice call; and
initiating setup of the packetized voice call based on the routing information. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)

27. An apparatus for establishing a packetized voice call, the apparatus comprising:
-
means for receiving a request from a calling party to establish the packetized voice call with a called party;
means for submitting, in response to the request, an inquiry with a centralized data store for routing information associated with the called party, wherein the routing information specifies alternate paths including a data path and a circuit-switched path for establishing the packetized voice call; and
means for initiating setup of the packetized voice call based on the routing information. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
