Policy based media path selection in a broadband access network

摘要

Dynamic selection of a media path for a call to or from a multimedia terminal or a voice terminal of a subscriber is provided using policy data defined by the subscriber. A broadband connection is provided between a broadband access node and the multimedia terminal and voice terminal. The broadband access node is connected to both a broadband transport network (BTN) and a narrowband transport network (NTN) to dynamically route calls to and from the BTN and NTN regardless of the subscriber terminal used (e.g., multimedia or voice), based on the subscriber policy data.
