Method and apparatus for providing access and egress uniform resource identifiers for routing
First Claim
1. A method for processing a first call setup message in a communication network, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, the first call setup message;
identifying, by the processor, an access identification parameter associated with an access point of the first call setup message; and
generating, by the processor, a second call set up message by incorporating the access identification parameter into the first call setup message, wherein the access identification parameter in the second call set up message is to be used for determining a routing decision.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing routing of calls in a packet network, using one or more criteria extracted from signaling information to determine the routing for the calls are disclosed. The routing criteria extracted from signaling messages comprises at least one of: an access Uniform Resource Identifier, a destination phone number, a destination URI host, a calling party number, a calling party URI host, an incoming IP address, or a requested codec. An access URI and the egress URI are used to enhance routing decisions in a VoIP network. The egress URI can be used to specify egress route selections from the egress point of a VoIP network. The access URI can be used to influence the routing decisions within the VoIP network as well as the routing decisions with regard to egress routes from the egress point of the VoIP network.

9. A tangible computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for processing a first call setup message in a communication network, the operations comprising:
-
receiving the first call setup message; identifying an access identification parameter associated with an access point of the first call setup message; and generating a second call set up message by incorporating the access identification parameter into the first call setup message, wherein the access identification parameter in the second call set up message is to be used for determining a routing decision. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
