Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first internet protocol (IP) packet having information associated with a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signal. The information of the first IP packet is configured based on a protocol associated with a first layer of a media over internet protocol (MoIP) network. The first IP packet is associated with a destination endpoint. The method also includes producing a second IP packet having information associated with the DTMF signal. The information of the second IP packet is configured based on a protocol associated with a second layer of the MoIP network and a DTMF conversion policy associated with the destination endpoint. The second layer is different than the first layer.
