Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for robocall steering over voice-hosted traffic networks. The disclosed framework provides novel systems and methods for increasing the accuracy and efficiency in tracking, identifying, blocking and preventing robocalls and robocallers. The disclosed systems and methods provide mechanisms for identifying and removing unwanted voice traffic from networks. The disclosed systems and methods analyze voice traffic over a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 day or 30 days, for example), and leverage this information into a 'know your customer' (KYC) score. This score enables incoming calls to be routed, controlled and/or blocked as they are communicated over voice networks.
