Method and system for determining a least cost path for routing international communications traffic
First Claim
1. Computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, cause a computing device to perform a method for conducting route testing, comprising:
- at the computing device, receiving a request to test routes and trunks;
identifying carrier costs for the requested routes;
processing the carrier costs to identify alternate routes for the requested routes;
checking the requested routes and alternate routes to locate the requested trunks; and
testing the requested trunks when the trunks are located.

Abstract
A method, system, and medium for determining a least-cost, international-routing path to communicate data across a telecommunications network are provided. The path implementation variables can be presented on a user interface or used to automatically generate a switch update transaction that implements the path. The method includes identifying variables that affect the determination of a least-cost path, receiving data values that correspond to the variables, and presenting the data values so that the path can be determined in response to observing the variables. Confidence and route testing can be conducted using the present invention.
