Rules database server in a hybrid communication system architecture
First Claim
1. A method for providing a rules database server in an integrated packet based and circuit-switched based network comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving subscriber information related to a subscriber, the information including a service level agreement, wherein the service level agreement is a service-related document stipulating a network performance level;
b) storing the subscriber information;
c) allowing access to the subscriber information by remote session controller for changing the service level agreement; and
d) managing the network based on predicted future behavior of the network, wherein the predicted future behavior is derived from analyzing data patterns and correlations across more than one dimension and wherein the analysis is accomplished via data modeling.

Abstract
According to a broad aspect of a preferred embodiment of the invention, telephone calls, data and other multimedia information is routed through a hybrid network which includes transfer of information across the internet utilizing telephony routing information and internet protocol address information. The hybrid network includes an rules database which determines subscriber profile information. The information includes routing references based on priority, cost and termination location. In addition, content separation is provided, including instructing an intelligent peripheral and protocol converter to separate the audio stream from the data and video stream.
