    摘要: A method and system for detecting service disruptions in a packet network is described. In one example, a plurality of data reports is received. A determination is then made as to whether a number of the plurality of data reports that pertain to a particular class has exceeded a predetermined threshold. In the event the threshold is exceeded, at least one notification is transmitted.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for enabling users behind NAT devices to receive unsolicited VoIP calls by allowing the VoIP network to dynamically open a temporary tunnel between the users' VoIP endpoint and the VoIP network for the subscriber to receive call set up messages and media streams from other callers are disclosed. An unsolicited call is a call that can be originated from any calling party endpoint. Once the call is finished, the temporary tunnel will be closed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for enabling users of a packet network service, e.g., a VoIP network service, who live in the same household and share a common phone number to have individualized user identifiers to be transmitted along with their call setup messages are disclosed. For example, each user in the household would have a different user identifier which they could retrieve from an endpoint device immediately before dialing the phone number when they want to place a call that would transmit their personalized user identifier in the call setup message.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for analyzing a proposed service feature in a communication network is described. In one example, a call flow for supporting the service feature in the communication network is created, where at least one network component supports the call flow. First cost data for internally developing the at least one network component is determined. Second cost data for procuring the at least one network component from third party entity is determined. The first cost data and the second cost data are processed to generate a recommendation for either internally developing or externally procuring the at least one network element.

    摘要: The present invention enables network providers of toll free calls to give customers a choice of what network announcements they want to listen to as they wait in queue. For example, customers could select to hear silence with periodic estimations of wait time, different types of music, current global, domestic, or local news, information about sports or financial information. The present invention allows customers to toggle between different selections via a predefined Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) signal.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for handling timeouts in a packet-switched communication network is described. In one example, at least one timeout condition of a network element is identifies in the packet-switched communication network. Packet delay is determined in a transport network of the packet-switched communication network in response to the at least one timeout condition. The packet delay is compared to a threshold packet delay. A timeout parameter of the network element is automatically adjusted if the packet delay satisfies the threshold packet delay.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for enabling service providers to offer video services while enabling users to engage in an instant messaging session in a separate display frame on a video display device, such as a television, are disclosed. Specifically, a user can request the network to activate and display a video session, such as a movie. The user can invite one or more other users to participate in the video session. As other users accept to participate in the video session, the network can activate another session that enables the participants to communicate with each other via instant messages.
