Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to updating routing patterns in an enterprise network. In some implementations, a method for routing sessions includes identifying information associated with call sessions in an enterprise network. The information includes costs to an enterprise for using carrier services during the call sessions. Routing patterns for call sessions are dynamically updated through at least a portion of the enterprise network based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the call sessions.

Claims (48)

1. A method for routing sessions, comprising:

identifying information associated with call sessions in an enterprise network, wherein the information includes phone numbers participating in the call sessions and costs to an enterprise for using carrier services during the call sessions;

ranking the phone numbers participating in the call sessions in accordance with costs for using carrier services;

automatically determining updated routing patterns for one or more of the ranked phone numbers, wherein the updated routing patterns reduce usage of the carrier services; and

automatically updating the enterprise network to route call sessions with the one or more ranked phone numbers in accordance with the updated routing patterns.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying routing elements in the enterprise networks, the routing elements including routing tables; and

dynamically updating one or more entries in the routing tables based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the call sessions.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically determining updated routing patterns comprises:

automatically determining one or more of the identified phone numbers is associated with at least one of a phone number assigned to the enterprise, an area code including a VoIP router, a country code including a VoIP router, a VoIP communication device, or a mobile trunk assigned to the enterprise; and

dynamically updating the routing pattern in accordance with the determination to reduce use of the carrier services.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enterprise network comprises a plurality of remote networks coupled through one or more broadband networks.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

automatically identifying an addition of a routing element to the enterprise network; and

wherein routing patterns are automatically updated based, at least in part, on the added routing element.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes at least one of numbers dialed, time, day, or carrier used.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining carrier costs reduced by the updated routing patterns; and

generating one or more reports based, at least in part, on the reduced costs and the updated routing patterns.

8. A system for routing sessions, comprising:

memory configured to store information associated with call sessions; and

one or more processors configured to:

identify information associated with call sessions in an enterprise network, wherein the information includes phone numbers participating in the call sessions and costs to an enterprise for using carrier services during the call sessions;

rank the phone numbers participating in the call sessions in accordance with costs for using carrier services;

automatically determine updated routing patterns for one or more of the ranked phone numbers, wherein the updated routing patterns reduce usage of the carrier services; and

automatically update the enterprise network to route call sessions with the one or more ranked phone numbers in accordance with the updated routing patterns.

9. The system of claim 8 , further operable to:

identify routing elements in the enterprise networks, the routing elements including routing tables; and

dynamically update one or more entries in the routing tables based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the call sessions.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the system operable to automatically determine updated routing patterns comprises the system operable to:

automatically determine one or more of the identified phone numbers is associated with at least one of a phone number assigned to the enterprise, an area code including a VoIP router, a country code including a VoIP router, a VoIP communication device, or a mobile trunk assigned to the enterprise; and

dynamically update the routing pattern in accordance with the determination to reduce use of the carrier services.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the enterprise network comprises a plurality of remote networks coupled through one or more broadband networks.

12. The system of claim 8 , further operable to:

automatically identify an addition of a routing element to the enterprise network; and

wherein route patterns are automatically updated based, at least in part, on the added routing element.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the information includes at least one of numbers dialed, time, day, or carrier used.

14. The system of claim 8 , further operable to:

determine carrier costs reduced by the updated routing patterns; and

generate one or more reports based, at least in part, on the reduced costs and the updated routing patterns.

15. A system for routing calls, comprising:

a means for identifying information associated with call sessions in an enterprise network, wherein the information includes phone numbers participating in the call sessions and costs to an enterprise for using carrier services during the call sessions;

a means for ranking the phone numbers participating in the call sessions in accordance with costs for using carrier services;

a means for automatically determining updated routing patterns for one or more of the ranked phone numbers, wherein the updated routing patterns reduce usage of the carrier services; and

a means for automatically updating the enterprise network to route call sessions with the one or more ranked phone numbers in accordance with the updated routing patterns.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:

a means for identifying VoIP routers in the enterprise networks, the VoIP routers including routing tables; and

a means for dynamically updating one or more entries in the routing tables based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the VoIP sessions.
