Abstract
A system broadcasts a call record via an interface in a telecommunications network having a plurality of network components and client platforms. A network component generates a call record following a particular call transaction over communications lines. A message including the call record is then broadcast by the network component via a high speed interface, such as a local area network. The message also includes a call record type indicator for identification of the type of the call record. After the message is received by a client platform connected to a processor, the call record type indicator is analyzed. Based on this analysis, the client platform either stores and subsequently processes the call record if required, or otherwise discards the call record.
