Abstract: A telecommunication and network traffic throttle and control system including one or more processors coupled to a communications network. The system is configured to monitor, control, and throttle network traffic to limit and block unwanted and harmful traffic to optimize performance of and protect telecommunications and network infrastructure. Received routing requests are parsed for source automatic number identifications (ANIs) and destination telephone numbers, which are used to generate local routing numbers (LRNs) for ported numbers, if applicable. ANIs and LRNs are evaluated over time to identify low quality and excess source and destination call attempts, which are throttled if outside of any number of predetermined network traffic quality of service parameters, limits, and ranges. To protect infrastructure, the system controls and throttles allocated bandwidth ranging between zero bandwidth and higher communications rates.

Abstract: A telecommunication and network traffic throttle and control and rate deck synchronization system including one or more processors coupled to a communications network. The system is configured to monitor, control, and throttle network traffic and to generate and synchronize rate decks to limit and block unwanted and harmful traffic to optimize performance of and protect telecommunications and network infrastructure. Received routing requests are parsed for subscriber identifiers that have assigned current rate decks. Routing requests are forwarded only for subscribers having unexpired assigned rate decks. When new assigned rate decks are generated with prospective effective times, the current date decks are modified to expire before the effective time, and subscribers are sent URLs having embedded security hashes, which must be downloaded before the current assigned rate decks expire.
