Assigning participant identifying data to network transmission events, comprising: Monitoring a network transmission event at a particular location, obtaining participant identifying data and identifying data related to the network transmission event. Providing to a predetermined monitoring location the above data and storing the data, providing from another location identifying data related to another network transmission event (from a Real time transport event (RTP)), querying the database for specific participant identifying data corresponding to the identifying data related to the other network transmission event. Providing the participant identifying data to the network monitoring device, whereby the specific participant identifying data is assigned to the another network transmission event. The participant identifying data maybe a telephone number, and the network transmission event maybe utilising IP or a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone call. Identifying data related to the network transmission event maybe from a signalling transmission event such as SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). The present invention provides a means for assigning phone numbers (participant identifying data) to RTP (network) transmission events (e.g. VoIP phone calls).
