The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for modeling optimized flow path assignments for signaling and media traffic in a network connected population of telecommunications systems. More specifically, optimum inter- and intra-system flow path assignments can be determined based on, for example, a virtual simulation of the telecommunications system. The optimization criteria may include flow path properties, flow path length, flow path element degradation of voice quality, monetary cost of flow path element usage, and flow path element contribution to overall system availability.

Using intelligent agents to perform flow path discovery in telecommunications systems and networks

The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for determining the availability of at least a part of a communications network in the context of alternate routing. Moreover, the present invention is adapted to consider network flow variations based on device outages all while accounting for the actual probability associated with various re-routing scenarios.

Alternative methodology in assessing network availability

A system for analyzing at least a portion of a telecommunications network is provided. The system includes a traffic flow analyzeroperable to (a) assign a plurality of network components to at least first, second, and third component setsand, respectively, wherein the first and second component sets correspond to voice communication endpoints; (b) determine bulk voice traffic flows at least one of generated and received by the first and second component sets and passing through the third component set; and (c) based on the bulk voice traffic flow passing through the third component set, determine a requirement for the third component set to realize a selected grade and/or quality of service.

Procedural XML-based telephony traffic flow analysis and configuration tool

A software-controlled computational component for processing input data is provided that includes a control program 148 for controlling the operation of a first computational component, an input for input data, and an output for output data. Each of the machine code for the control program, the input data, and the output data are expressed in a markup language, such as Extensible Markup Language.
