摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing call admission control in a packet network such as an internet protocol (IP) network are provided. More particularly, a terminating endpoint of a logical connection on a packet network, e.g. an IP network, is provided with the ability to make a decision on whether to accept or reject an incoming call based on quality of service (QoS) indicator based on QoS metrics. These metrics indicate quality of service levels for specific logical connections and are accumulated over specified time periods.

A maintenance component of an apparatus in one example employs one or more packets that are communicated over an active packet connection to evaluate the active packet connection.

A system is provided for improving measurement accuracy for voice-over-packet bearer network interfaces. The presently described embodiments address performance measure inaccuracies that occur during the disconnect sequence of an internet protocol bearer network logical connection. This technique accomplishes this task by generating and transmitting a last packet indicator to ensure that the endpoints of the path are synchronized.

A method and apparatus for voice path assurance (VPA) testing in a packet network such as an Internet Protocol (IP) network is provided. More specifically, the invention relates to a voice path assurance (VPA) testing technique that is initiated by the terminating side of a logical connection through an IP network. The technique of the present invention is used to verify connectivity and performance—during a call set-up procedure—between the terminating endpoint and the originating endpoint of the logical connection through the IP network.
