Abstract
A peering grid component operates to facilitate connections of call traffic in a peering grid comprised of customers interconnected with peering partners. A switch is configured to receive call traffic from a customer, and a routing engine is configured to analyze parameters of the call traffic to classify the call traffic as wireless or wire-line traffic. The classification of the call traffic is achieved through the provision of updated wireless routing information accessed by the routing engine. With the classification, the switch, for wireless traffic, accepts and transmits the call traffic at a wireless rate to a peering partner via a connection to the peering partner; and, for wire-line traffic, either transmits the call traffic back to the customer or accepts the call traffic for transmission at a wire-line rate. The wire-line rate is different than the wireless rate, and the associated rates are charged to the customer.
