Abstract:
1. A telecommunication device for transferring real-time traffic between a global transport network and a local area network, comprising: a traverser, the traverser allowing traffic using real-time communication protocols to traverse a firewall between the global transport network and the local area network; a classifier, the classifier classifying real-time traffic for having a higher priority than best effort traffic on the global transport network at a border between the global transport network and the local area network; a meter, the meter measuring the higher priority real-time traffic and collecting information about an application and a prioritization of the real-time traffic used over the global transport network at the border between the global transport network and the local area network; a call detail record creator, the call detail record creator creating call detail records that can be used by a service provider for billing purposes at the border between the global transport network and the local area network, the call detail records including the information about the application and the prioritization used over the global transport network; a deliverer for delivering the call detail records to the service provider; a proxy at the border between the global transport network and the local area network providing information for the call detail records and having an ability to route real-time traffic; and a converter in the telecommunication device, at the border between the global transport network and the local area network, for converting a telephone number or other form of address to an address that the proxy can use to route the real-time traffic using a database lookup.
