System and method for managing network communications
First Claim
1. A system for controlling network communications, said system comprising:
- memory configured to store instructions and data;
a network interface configured to enable communications over a first packet network, the first packet network owned by a first communications carrier;
a processing unit in communication with the network interface and the memory, the processing unit configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising;
communicating with a first set of network communications devices on the first packet network;
receiving and storing in memory a first portion of network performance information associated with the first set of network communications devices on the first packet network;
initiating routines on a second set of network communications devices within a second packet network owned by a second communications carrier for determining a second portion of the network performance information associated with the second packet network;
storing the second portion of the network performance information associated with the second set of network communications devices within the second packet network;
determining an operational status of a network node within the second packet network based on the stored second portion of the network performance information; and
controlling network communications of data packets over node segments of the first packet network and the second packet network based on at least some of the network performance information stored in the memory.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a computer-implemented method for controlling network communications. In one embodiment, the method executes instructions, using a processor, to perform operations comprising: communicating with a first set of network communications devices of a first packet network; receiving and storing in memory network performance information associated with the first set of network communications devices; initiating routines on a second set of network communications devices of a second packet network of a second communications carrier for determining network performance information associated with the second packet network; storing the network performance information associated with the second set of network communications devices; determining an operational status of a network node within the second packet network based on the stored network performance information; and controlling network communications of data packets over node segments of the first packet network and the second packet network based on the stored network performance information.
