1. A method for element management in an integrated packet-switched based and circuit-switched based network, comprising the steps of:
- a) monitoring a hybrid network, wherein the hybrid network is an integrated packet-switched and circuit-switched communication network;
b) receiving hybrid network events from hybrid network elements;
c) filtering and correlating the hybrid network events, whereby hybrid network problems are further isolated; and
d) translating the filtered and isolated hybrid network events into a standard object format.

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 network element management wherein events received from network elements are filtered, correlated, and translated into a standard object format.
