Methods and target architecture for enabling IP carrier peering
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to achieve internetwork connectivity. Initiation is detected, by a first device on a first network, of an internet protocol (IP) connection with a second device on a second network, wherein the first network includes a plurality of egress devices that are configured to send requests for inter-network connection information. A subset of the egress devices are selected, wherein each of the subset of egress devices are configured to query for connection information relating to the second network. The subset of devices are caused to query the at least one other network for the connection information relating to the second network. The connection information is received relating to the second network. The connection information is caused to be used in establishing the IP connection between the first device and the second device.
