First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving one or more test signals at a first gateway from a second gateway;
comparing the one or more test signals to one or more expected signals; and
generating a score representing a voice quality supported by the first gateway on a path from the first gateway to the second gateway, the score based at least partially on the comparison.

Abstract
A method includes receiving one or more test signals at a first gateway from a second gateway. The method also includes comparing the one or more test signals to one or more expected signals. In addition, the method includes generating a score representing a voice quality supported by the first gateway on a path from the first gateway to the second gateway. The score is based at least partially on the comparison.

46. A system, comprising:
-
a first gateway operable to generate one or more first test signals; a second gateway operable to receive the one or more first test signals from the first gateway and to communicate the one or more first test signals to the first gateway; the first gateway also operable to receive the one or more first test signals from the second gateway, compare the one or more first test signals to one or more first expected signals, and generate a first score representing a voice quality supported by the first gateway on a path from the first gateway to the second gateway; the second gateway also operable to generate one or more second test signals; the first gateway is further operable to receive the one or more second test signals from the second gateway and to communicate the one or more second test signals to the second gateway; the second gateway further operable to receive the one or more second test signals, compare the one or more second test signals to one or more second expected signals, and generate a second score representing a voice quality supported by the second gateway on the path from the second gateway to the first gateway; and the first and second gateways further operable to communicate and exchange the first and second scores.
