Peer-to-Peer Interconnection between Service Providers

摘要

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.

1. A method, comprising:
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; 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; identifying, in a peer-to-peer interconnect controller separate from the requesting device, a path for communication with the target communication device in response to the list of available routes; and establishing a peer-to-peer communication session from a peering point associated with and separate from the requesting device to the target communication device, over the path.
