[VoiceOps] Optimizing VoIP orig routing to exploit Verizon VoIP TDM interconnections

[Ryan Delgrosso]

I have switches in both One Wil and in Boston but the motivation to do 
this was largely for bandwidth optimization so I didn't clog up my cross 
country circuits with RTP that didn't need to be there. The quality gain 
is there but i wouldn't consider it the selling point of undertaking a 
project like this since most people cant tell the difference between a 
call I hot-potatoed off the network locally vs one I back-hauled across 
the country, at least until the cross country link starts to saturate....

I showed a 63% decrease in network utilization when I switched to 
steering terminating calls by SDP C line. Again on the orig side its 
harder to control depending on how your customers expect to receive calls.

Here is a link to the paper.
