OPTIMIZING VOICE-OVER-IP PRIORITY AND BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS

摘要

A method of, and means for accomplishing the method, optimizing system resources in a network (102) using packetized voice telephony consists of th e following steps: determining (302) that a packetized voice call from an originating gateway (104) terminates at a non-human voice interface system (108), wherein the packetized voice call is assigned a specified high priori ty level; and transmitting (304) signaling to cause the originating gateway (10 4) to transmit the packetized voice call to the non-human voice interface syste m (108) at a lower priority than the specified high priority level.
