Abstract
Various example implementations are directed to circuits, apparatuses and methods for providing Voice-over-IP (VoIP) services. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus includes a first network node configured to communicate VoIP packets between upstream and downstream network nodes in a network and to communicate metadata with at least one of the VoIP packets downstream in the network. A network pathway assessment module is configured to derive, from the response packet one or more transmission characteristics (e.g., latency) corresponding to the VoIP packets communicated along a pathway between the first network node and the second network node and VoIP packets may be routed in response thereto.
