Claim 0:
1. A session border controller (SBC) communicatively coupled to a first communications network and a second communications network, the SBC comprising:
a storage configured to store data indicative of statistics for events that are specific to the first and second communications networks;
an ingress configured to receive messages from the first communications network, the ingress having a memory storing an ingress message manipulation function (MMF) comprising a plurality of rules;
a SBC processing unit connected to the ingress and configured to receive the messages from the ingress; and
an egress connected to the SBC processing unit, the egress configured to receive the messages from the SBC processing unit and forward the messages to the second communications network, the egress having a memory storing an egress MMF comprising a plurality of rules;
wherein at least some of the rules of the ingress MMF or egress MMF are for accumulating, computing and storing the statistics, wherein the plurality of rules are modifiable to change the statistics that are accumulated and computed and modifiable while the SBC is in operation between the first communications network and the second communications network.
