Abstract

A method includes gathering local call attributes from a call detail record capture utility, linking supplemental attributes to the local call attributes; and generating a local call report, which associates local call routes with a plurality of attributes. A system includes an electronic cost administrator operable to gather call detail records identifying a plurality of calls set up throughout a network and associate a cost with each identified call, a trunk group inventory storing a plurality of local trunk groups that calls can be terminated on, and a local call optimal cost routing matrix generator operable to retrieve selected call setup data from the electronic cost administrator, identify local calls using the trunk group inventory and generate an optimal cost routing matrix associating a plurality of local calls with local routes in a prioritized manner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing locally routed phone calls, the method comprising:
retrieving call routing information from a call data records (CDR) collector operable to collect call detail records from a plurality of network elements in a network, wherein the call routing information indicates how a plurality of calls were terminated through the network;
retrieving call setup costs associated with a plurality of calls from the CDR collector,…
