Updating routing patterns in an enterprise network
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.
1. A method for routing sessions, comprising:
determining costs to an enterprise for previously accessed carrier services during call sessions in an enterprise network, wherein the costs are associated with phone numbers participating in the call sessions; and
updating, for subsequent call sessions, routing patterns for the phone numbers through at least a portion of the enterprise network based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the call sessions, wherein the updated routing patterns reduce usage of the carrier services.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying routing elements in the enterprise networks, the routing elements including routing tables; and
updating one or more entries in the routing tables based, at least in part, on the costs associated with 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; 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.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein dynamically updating routing patterns comprises:
determining updated routing patterns for call sessions with phone numbers using routing elements; and
updating the routing elements to participate in call sessions with the phone numbers to reduce use of the carrier services.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein determining updated routing patterns comprises:
determining one or more of the 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
updating the routing pattern in accordance with the determination to reduce use of the carrier services.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enterprise network comprises a plurality of remote networks coupled through one or more broadband networks.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying an addition of a routing element to the enterprise network; and
wherein routing patterns are updated based, at least in part, on the added routing element.
8. 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.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions to cause a processor to perform operations comprising:
determining costs to an enterprise for previously accessed carrier services during call sessions in an enterprise network, wherein the costs are associated with phone numbers participating in the call sessions; and
updating, for subsequent call sessions, routing patterns for the phone numbers through at least a portion of the enterprise network based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the call sessions, wherein the updated routing patterns reduce usage of the carrier services.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , the instructions further comprising:
identifying routing elements in the enterprise networks, the routing elements including routing tables; and
updating one or more entries in the routing tables based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the call sessions.

automatically determining updated routing patterns for one or more of the ranked phone numbers; 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.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein dynamically updating routing patterns comprises:
determining updated routing patterns for call sessions with phone numbers using routing elements; and
updating the routing elements to participate in call sessions with the phone numbers to reduce use of the carrier services.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein determining updated routing patterns comprises:
determining one or more of the 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
updating the routing pattern in accordance with the determination to reduce use of the carrier services.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the enterprise network comprises a plurality of remote networks coupled through one or more broadband networks.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , the instructions further comprising:
identifying an addition of a routing element to the enterprise network; and
wherein routing patterns are updated based, at least in part, on the added routing element.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , the instructions 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.
17. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
determine costs to an enterprise for previously accessed carrier services during call sessions in an enterprise network, wherein the costs are associated with phone numbers participating in the call sessions; and
update, for subsequent call sessions, routing patterns for the phone numbers through at least a portion of the enterprise network based, at least in part, on the costs associated with the call sessions, wherein the updated routing patterns reduce usage of the carrier services.
