Embodiments of methods and systems for peer-to-peer interconnection between service providers are presented. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a session controller, a request for access to a target communication device, the target communication device being communicatively coupled to a foreign service provider network. The method may also include referencing a list of available routes for peer-to-peer communication with the target communication device on the foreign service provider network from a database of available routes. Additionally, the method may include identifying, in a peer-to-peer interconnect controller, a path for communication with the target communication device in response to the list of available routes. In one embodiment, the method also includes establishing a peer-to-peer communication session from a peering point to the target communication device over the path.

Peer-to-peer interconnection between service providers

Systems and methods for intelligent network edge traffic and signaling management are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method for controlling network edge traffic may include receiving network traffic flow information from a network element. The method may also include determining a control command for a network edge element based on the network traffic flow information. Further, the method may include communicating the control command to a network for control of network traffic at an edge.

Systems and methods for intelligent network edge traffic and signaling management

Embodiments of methods and systems for direct routing of communication sessions for mobile IP communication end points are presented. The methods may be implemented in a service provider network. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, on a first service provider network, a request for access to a target communication device, the target communication device being associated with a second service provider network. The method may also include receiving an indicator, from the second service provider network, that the target communication device is roaming on a third service provider network. Additionally, the method may include establishing a peer-to-peer communication link with the target communication device on the third service provider network by a direct peer-to-peer interconnection process.

Direct routing of communication sessions for mobile IP communication end points

A method includes generating, by a computing system, configuration information for configuring a communication application, the configuration information based at least in part on usage information associated with communication application configurations specific to a group comprising a plurality of users. The method further includes determining that a first user within the group is using the communication application for communicating via a client device with at least one other user in the group and responsive to the determining, sending the configuration information to the client device.

Group communication configuration

Systems and methods for determining peer to peer communication paths between service providers are presented. In one embodiment the method is carried out in a peer-to-peer interconnect controller. The method may include obtaining default route information associated with a subscriber on a foreign service provider network in response to a request for route information, the default route information comprising identification of a peer access point designated for peer-to-peer interconnection. The method may also include generating a directed query for additional peer-to-peer interconnection routes in response to the default route information. Additionally, the method may include obtaining one or more candidate routes from the foreign service provider network in response to the directed query. In one embodiment, the method may also include selecting one of the candidate routes for establishing a peer-to-peer connection with the subscriber of the foreign service provider network.
