Abstract
A method and system for monitoring and reporting performance information relating to data transmission. One of a plurality of network service providers associated with the terminating party are identified at the central controller to enable routing of the data transmission. The central controller establishes a connection between an originating party and the identified network service provider for routing of the data transmission to the terminating party. The data transmission is routed by the central controller to the identified network service provider, and the status of a portion of the data transmission is monitored by the central controller while the data transmission to the terminating party occurs and until the connection with the terminating party ends. Performance information associated with the data transmission is generating at the central controller based on the monitored data transmission. The performance information is reported to a third party by the central controller.
