Abstract: Methods and systems for routing voice over internet protocol (VOIP) are described. A service provider may provide a VOIP infrastructure for routing VOIP calls. One or more other service providers may join the VOIP infrastructure. A computing device may identify the service provider servicing the VOIP calls and may further process the calls accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for effectively managing and maintaining a communication network by monitoring communications to detect a loop condition, and effectively route the communication to one or more destinations known to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of a looping condition.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for authenticating calls. An example method may comprise receiving a message indicative of a call request. Header data associated with the message may be analyzed to determine an attestation value. A signature may be generated based on the attestation value. A signed message comprising the signature and at least a portion of the message may be sent.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for processing calls. An example method may comprise receiving a message for establishing a call. Identification information in the message may be compared to screening data. If a match is found, the message may be forwarded to a screening server. The screening server may establish a call based on the session and provide information indicative of a level of trust associated with the call.

Abstract: Multiple service providers may share a voice over internet protocol (VOIP) infrastructure. A request to route a VOIP call may be received and processed to route the VOIP call. Information in the VOIP request may be used to determine a service provider and routing rule for routing the VOIP call, and the VOIP call may be routed accordingly.
