System and method for routing data on a packet network
First Claim
1. A method for routing non-real-time content over a packet network, said method comprising:
- receiving a call request to communicate data packets including non-real-time content over a packet network;
determining at least one network node over which a call path for a call to be established for the call request is to be routed;
accessing network performance information associated with communications over the at least one network node;
determining whether the at least one network node is impaired or congested; and
if the at least one network node is determined to be impaired or congested, altering communications of the data packets including non-real-time content over the at least one network node;
otherwise, establishing the call on the at least one network node.

Abstract
A system and method for routing non-real-time content over a packet network. A call request to communicate data packets including non-real-time content over a packet network may be received. A determination of at least one network node over which a call path for a call to be established for the call request is to be routed may be made. Network performance information associated with communications over the network node(s) may be established. A determination as to whether the network node(s) are impaired or congested may be made and, if the network node(s) are determined to be impaired or congested, communications of the data packets including non-real-time content over the network node(s) may be altered. Otherwise, if the network node(s) are not determined to be impaired or congested, the call may be established on the network node(s). In one embodiment, a call control manager may manage the call.

9. A system for routing non-real-time content over a packet network, said system comprising:
-
an input/output (I/O) unit in communication with a packet network and configured to receive a call request to communicate data packets including non-real-time content over a packet network; a processing unit in communication with said I/O unit and configured to; determine at least one network node over which a call path for a call to be established for the call request is to be routed; access network performance information associated with communications over the at least one network node; determine whether the at least one network node is impaired or congested; and if the at least one network node is determined to be impaired or congested, alter communications of the data packets including non-real-time content over the at least one network node; otherwise, establish the call on the at least one network node. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
