Abstract: An IP telephony communication being conducted by a user telephony device is transitioned from a first communications path to an alternate communications path if a quality of the telephony communication falls below a threshold level. The user telephony device and/or elements of an IP telephony system handling the call could detect when the quality is below the threshold level. The communication might also be transitioned to a cellular based voice or video communications channel if the strength of a wireless data connection between the user telephony device and a wireless access point providing access to a data network falls below a threshold level. Further, the speed of movement of the telephony device may be taken into account in determining which alternate communication path should be used.

Abstract: Method, system, and computer readable medium for providing an identifier for a caller identifier (ID) function when processing a communication request between a calling party and a called party in a communication network is described. In some examples, an initial identifier for the caller ID function associated with the calling party is received. A determination is made if the calling party has a virtual identifier configured in the communication network. A determination is made if the called party has a predefined identifier associated with the calling party configured in the communication network. The initial identifier is replaced with a terminating identifier based on configuration of the virtual identifier and the predefined identifier in the communication network.
