Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes associating a pluggable policy module with an application when executing at a session layer device within a session over Internet Protocol (SoIP) network. A policy service request can be received at the session layer device from an endpoint in communication with the session layer device. The method also includes defining a session control protocol signal based on a policy value sent to the application from the pluggable policy module. The policy value can be calculated at the pluggable policy module based on an input value associated with the policy service request.
