Recipe by Sasha's Catering
"Pumpkin lovers, you've got to try this! Goes great on pancakes and French toast, or dip a fresh popover in it. It's got a warm spicy taste, perfect for fall and winter! Heat it up and pour a little over vanilla ice cream!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 1/2 cups
1 (14 ounce) can
sweetened condensed milk
2 (15 ounce) cans
canned pumpkin
2/3 cup
1 cup
strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon
ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon
ground cloves
2 tablespoons
ground cinnamon
3/4 cup
maple syrup
1 cup
half-and-half cream
1 1/4 cups
hot water
I haven't made this yet, but I will. This gives me an idea! It makes so much that it would be a nice item to send over to neighbors during the holidays. It sounds yummy, but then again, I love pumpkin. Thanks to Sasha's Catering!
This is super yummy. I put some in pretty jars and gave them to friends....needless to say, Im a lot more popular with my buddies because of it!!

Good flavor but pretty thick.
I made this last night to ACCOMPANY THE PUMPKIN BREAKAST Casserole. I am obviously a pumpkin nut! I did not have cloves or cinnamon (I was as shocked as you are reading this) so doubled up on Pumkin Pie Spice and let me tell you...this was LIGHTS OUT! Like pumpkin french toast and I also heated up the syrup when I served it. Try This!!!
If you're a pumpkin lover, you'll love this. I scaled down to 36 servings and put some in the freezer (hope that works?). I made this to go with some gingerbread pancakes, and although the flavor was very complementary, it didn't present itself well on the pancakes. This really is more of a "sauce" rather than a syrup IMHO. A little sweet for us (but that's personal taste), but definitely tasty. I can see serving this on a breakfast casserole, topping ice cream, etc., or as the recipe submitter mentioned, dipping a hot popover in this would be divine. It certainly should kick start you into thinking Fall.

Google has made travel a little more comfortable with Google Now. If your hotel confirmation has come into your Gmail account, Google will make a note of the hotel and the area and you can ask Google anything that can be done nearby the hotel.
Once Google knows the hotel you stay, you can ask "Show me restaurants around my hotel" and ask directions from the hotel to your destination. Moreover, you can still look for nearby places to explore or shop. If at any time you forget the name and address of the hotel, you can simply ask for Google to "Give me directions to my hotel from here", avoiding the prospect of getting lost in a new city.
Vinu has been passionate about technology since his childhood and loves to explain the capabilities of any product launched. He is very curious about just how far any tech can perform, even if it's a low-end device. Apart from that, he loves to game with friends and some street photography- "You don't need to own them to be passionate about it".

Harajuku Girls seem to be appearing a lot recently. Mostly because of Gwen Stephani it would seem, but they're actually quite interesting.
They tend to dress in "costume" and gather in specific areas all over Japan. Their costumes are pretty interesting. They vary from over-done school girls, to gothic nurses.
Here's some examples:
What do you know about Harajuku? Note: They're not all women.

1) Embrace was a short-lived post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., often cited as pioneering the Revolution Summer movement and by extension indie pop/rock, from the summer of 1985 to the spring of 1986. The group was primarily noteworthy because of its well-known members, joining Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and The Teen Idles with guitarist Michael Hampton, drummer Ivor Hanson, and bassist Chris Bald, all former members of the pioneering band Faith. Hampton had also played in S.O.A. with Henry Garfield (later known as Henry Rollins).

Nice hotel in de center of MeridaPosted Sep 4, 2014
Very nice hotel, enjoyed staying there, right in the middle of the city. I would recommend it to my friends.

Great location, great bathroomPosted Jun 10, 2014
We booked a twin room for 4 of us on the day we wanted to stay. Arrived late and we're glad of the free parking. The room was very large which was great, basic for decoration but nice. The bathroom was amazing - massive with a large walk in shower with three functions - very impressive. The only downside was the air conditioning unit which being June and very humid we wanted on but it sounded like a truck was in eh room and kept waking us up at night when on. The breakfast was also pretty limp - one piece of toast and a croissant, along with orange juice and lukewarm tea - but it was free so can't really complain. It was also slightly confusing as the receptionist told us breakfast was served at 7.30am only - so the 4 of us set the alarm to get up at 7.30 for that pathetic breakfast - and no one else was around!? So think that might have been wrong advice? Oh well least it got us up early to explore Merida!

Excellent location, clean & comfortable.Posted May 11, 2014
Pros: Location, restaurant onsite large rooms. Friendly staff.
Cons: A/C quit at 03:00 am and woke up hot. Minor inconvenience in the grand scheme. Staff rectified the problem and no issues the next night.
Location: Lots of restaurants around the central plaza. Open air with weekend dancing in the street with partial street closure to accommodate music and tables
Wonderful weekend breakaway. This hotel has a great location with walking distance to the central plaza. I've traveled the globe and for the price and location, I'd recommend this hotel and would return. Central plaza is walking distance - two blocks with museums and a little shopping.

Excellent stay!Posted Apr 27, 2014 on Hotels.com
The hotel is very old but is very nice and well maintained. The rooms are very clean and spacious and the garden with the pool are very nice. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. The hotel has a wonderful location, very close to the main square. The breakfast was good, but not amazing. Overall it was a very good experience.

Centrally locatedPosted Feb 16, 2014 on Hotels.com
The grounds and pool were very nice. The room was spacious. There is a large fringed area rug in each room. The fringe was quite soiled leading me to think the entire rug is dirty. Mold appeared on the bathroom ceiling after a rain. It took a little convincing that this is a health hazard. Bleach was finally used. The rate was a little high as compared to surrounding hotels.

The location of this hotel is excellent - it couldn't be more central. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the hotel is very much in need of some maintenance - the towels and curtains in the room were old and worn. The shower in our room didn't really work - the first morning it took us ages to get the right temperature, and the second morning we went without showers altogether as there was no hot water coming through. It's a very quaint little hotel in a great location, just in need of some TLC.

Disappointing experiencePosted Jan 4, 2014
Pros: Staff, location and common areas
Cons: Cleanliness of maintenance of rooms
Location: Great location in the center of Merida
I had good expectations on the basis of the reviews on Expedia and the pictures. I was disappointed when I entered the room. I am really not sure why this hotel has a very good review on Expedia which was the main reason I booked this hotel. They even had a 2012 Expedia Excellence Award at the entrance which was not part of Expedia's booking system. I wonder whether this sign was real or not. The common areas are nice and the staff was very friendly. Nonetheless the room was old, had stain and dust and some furniture looked old and as not belonging to the room (different decoration styles, no single frame, etc.). I would not go back to this hotel and book instead a different place. Merida is full of other better hotels.

Good locationPosted Nov 2, 2013
Pros: Convenience and big spacious room close to the pool. The pool and garden area is very nice and relaxing.
Cons: The food isn't the best. The continental breakfast was the same every day mainly toast and 1 croissant to share. Fruit was always the same.
Nice hotel in a very convenient location and within walking distance to the Historic District.

With all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Big Hero 6" is an action-packed comedy-adventure about robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who learns to harness his genius-thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tamago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion-a robot named Baymax-and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery.

Koh Lanta, Thailand Hotel & Resort Guest Reviews
November 8, 2014
"The road to the facility more resembles a dirt track than a road. The reception was as if unexpected costumers just turned up instead of booked guests with an arranged transfer from the airport wanting to check in. The bungalow was not ready. The restaurant didn t have half the food on the menu. I would really like to put it on the fact that we were there in low season but since we paid high season price that s not working in their favor. The location and the beachfront bungalows are scenic and the whole facility could be beautiful if the people running it took more care of the area surrounding it and there customers. [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"
November 11, 2014
"Un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel au rapport qualité prix imbattable. Excellent service, une belle piscine à débordement donnant sur la plage avec vue sur Koh Phi Phi (plage très bien entretenue), un restaurant classique, à 10mn en Tuk-tuk de la ville-port principale. On recommande vivement la sortie Garden hill pour faire du snorkeling à Koh rok et éléphant par le prestatire de l hôtel dans le sud de l ile près de la cascade. De belles plongées à Koh Ha et c est un séjour inoubliable. [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"
No problems, November 11, 2014
"Wonderful days I spent in this hotel. Very good service, staff was always kind, clean room, nice gym and really big swimming pool. I definitely want to come back next year to this place. The best hotel for me in KOH LANTA."
October 29, 2014
"Very good holiday. Extremely friendly staff. Very good value for money. Very good food, great free breakfast. Good beds (not so hard as usually in Thailand)and very quiet place. just great!"
booking service was fine, November 10, 2014
"The resort itself was beautiful. However, the man working the front desk ruined the whole experience. From the start he shoved shuttle and your packages down our throats and was not happy with us when we decided to book with another business. The man from Lanta coral beach resort originally gave me an outrageous price for my shuttle ride back to the airport. The next day though he gave my companion a price that was 250 baht cheaper. When I asked him about this he gave a very sly smile.His pushy attitude and over priced options backfired on him in the end because rather than booking with him we booked with a fellow who was much more kind. When my group of friends arrived he claimed they had not booked the room and wanted them to pay AGAIN for their rooms. When my friend produced her receipt he began demanding that they pay 100 extra baht for a bed that they did NOT want. We paid the extra baht. When our tour shuttle bus was late we needed to use a phone however, since we did not book with him he was very hostile and would not let us use his phone since we did not have phone reception. When we finally decided to leave he sprung one last trick on us. He FORGED receipts and added an extra meal to our room tab. As it is American coulture to pay before the meal or right after. It was apparent that he was trying to pull one us us. He tried to charge me for a meal that was on another persons room bill, when we pointed out that he had the wrong room he still demanded that I paid for it. This man was slimy, creepy and very rude and put a dark clould over our Koh Lanta experience. His other staff members were extremely friendly though. The women giving massages on the beach were very very kind!!! and the other women working at the hotel were very kind as well. Perhaps he should have one of them be in charge. [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"
October 21, 2014
"Nice basic bungalows almost directly located on the beach. Flat TV and hot water. Friendly staff and okay food. The beach is wide and flat and perfect for running. There are some cafe s and bars but we were there just before the season started so there weren t many people. Perfect, because we wanted some place quiet! The town of Saladan is not too far, you can walk but I would recommend either renting a scooter or push bike (really, we hired push bikes in town and it was so much fun)! The hotel pool was quiet nice, too. If you are looking for a place not on the main beach but close to a lively small town, I would recommend the Kaw Kwang Resort. It is not a five star hotel and it wasn t the most beautiful room I ve ever seen, but the price in low season was 550 baht per night and I think that s very good value for the money. There was only one downside for me, and that was that the towels weren t very clean when we arrived. [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"
No comment, August 12, 2014
"Little animatedDirty beachRelaxons place"
Very helpfull. We had pre-payed for more days, but wanted earlier check out because of bad weather. This was no problem at all, and money was refound very quickly., July 31, 2014
"We only spent a few days at the resort because the weather was not so nice in Koh Lanta. The lady who owned the place, Sa, was just amazing. She was so frendly and helping with everything, and we were treated just like family. Also the staff was very sweet and helping. Really a cosy small resort with ok rooms, nice and clean, not exspensive but good value for your money. [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"
August 4, 2014
"Nice place for family with children"
Always good., July 7, 2014
"Great resort with a beautiful direct beach, swimming pool and a clean spacious room. We stayed at the beach view room and it is fantastic. Surely will come back again."
Very easy for booking, July 1, 2014
"Awesome welcoming, very nice staff."
June 5, 2014
"We are very happy when stay at the Lanta Palace Resort & Beach Club. It is the nice place."
good service ., May 26, 2014
"very good hotel and supper nice staff,I took a child ,my best expierience to koh lanta island."
Excellent. When i had a problem with the first room where the aircon did not work and no hot water, Ms Bee assisted and we wereupgraded immediately., May 23, 2014
"Good looking neat hotel that needs repair and maintenance on things like plumbing. Central aircon is a bit noisy. Friendly staff. Seaview is obstructed by buildings. You have to be on the 3rd or 4th level to see the sea. They share facilities with Andaman resort accross the street that is on the beach. Breakfast at Andaman never went smooth for 6 consecutive days. The hotel is a good option if you want to stay in the north close to the pier. It is relatively busy (not at all like Phuket or Krabi) but we shall definately look for a hotel close to the south where you only see only a handful of tourists that visit for the day in the south. It is cleaner down south. [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"

Sportsbook Review: This past week in the Sportsbook Industry – 2/18 – 2/25
Here are the latest news in the sportsbook industry:
- 105 Vig Sportsbook is currently offline. This sportsbook was hosted on a web server based in New York and shared the same remote address as a number of handicapping services. 105Vig offered an unecrypted log in, no customer support via email or phone number. 105 Vig Sportsbook was offering a $100 freeplay to try out their service but several players requested a payout after they met the rollover and they were denied because the sportsbook said that they needed a minimum of $500 to ask for payment, although this term was not found anywhere on their rules pages.
- VIP Sports, Nine.com and BetGameday controversially decided to close up shop on August 1st, one month before the start of the football season. These sportsbooks were based on Curacao and they closed on a time when many seasonal sports bettors were not logged into their accounts but they paid the players who requested their balances by the August 1st deadline.
New sportsbook GTBets.com announced that it would honor the player funds of former VIP Sports, Nine.com and BetGameday customers. GTBets.com, also based in Curacao, is comprised of former VIP Sports management and they fully acquired the software source code and retained hardware. GTBets.com vowed to contact all players with remaining balances but it's too early to judge, we'll keep an eye on them.
If you have any questions or problems with a sportsbook please let us know so we can help you.

Unique 30th Bday location LA
Hi, this is my first time on this site, I was hoping that someone can direct me to a unique location in the LA/ South Bay area for my best friends 30th bday. I am limited on funds and am thinking about 20 people? any suggestions.
There is a great restaurant in Silverlake called Malo that has a menu of things that are mostly under 10 bucks. You can reserve a large table on the patio in advance. Then, if you are so inclined, there is a cool bar call Akbar half a block to the west on the same side of the street that has great music and no cover before 10 most nights. Good luck!
You could do Dar Maghreb for a unique eat-with-your-hands, belly-dancing dinner.
Also, Ethiopian restaurants on Fairfax.
Palms Thai for the Elvis.
Do dim sum or Chinese banquet for cheap.
Could also do Korean BBQ for fun.
Don't know if they can easily accommodate groups of 20, but you might look into a few of the Sawtelle restaurants as well.
In the south bay, how about Belacan for some awesome Malaysian food? Big room reminiscent of a dim sum place in SGV, and has a "safe side" to its menu so that you can order your basic fried rice and curries, but has a host of Malaysian specialties like Belacan Crab (!!) that will wow the whole table. Servings are huge so it's easy to walk out of there for less if you order family style.
Since Korean BBQ was mentioned why not go to Manna, you really cant beat the price at $15.00/person. If you can splurge a little more then I think the 3 course tasting menu at Opus for $30.00/person might be a great way to celebrate a 30th bday. I dont know, I really <3 that place!
The Roof Bar at the Standard downtown is a pretty dramatic/Bladerunner-ish/top-of-a-skyscraper location for drinks and appetizer-ish kind of food. To be honest, don't really remember the food but certainly eatable and location is amazing.
Benihana -- never been but really curious to go -- "an experience at every table"
Medieval Times -- again, never been and but ever since renting Cable-Guy am dying to try.

This dough is extremely versatile. You can use it the same day or refrigerate for up to 3 days.It is rich, sweet, tender and easy to work with. I get compliments on it no matter what I use it for - cinnamon buns, filled braids, yeasted coffee cakes, whatever you can imagine. I sometimes use maple extract or orange extract instead of vanilla to match the filling.

DMX was walking through LAX Airport when reporters caught up with X and asked him about his dog food preference. As always the rapper had a quite comical response unveiling that he's actually eaten dog food before and that it's not so bad.
When the Yonkers, NY native was asked if he had ever eaten dog food and the rapper responded with a subtle, "yes." He then digressed suggesting the best dog foods to feed canines and the odd foods that he has fed his beloved dogs.
Some people have quirky, odd things that they do or have done and DMX has eaten dog food, cool!

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of interconnecting two interexchange carriers ("IXCs") in a manner that: 1) allows a first IXC to provide service to its customers via a second IXC, and 2) maintains proprietary network data, network security and network reliability for the second IXC.
2. Related Art
As is known, the Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN") is populated by a plurality of communication networks. A simplified model of the PSTN is shown in FIG. 1. Local Exchange Carriers ("LECs") traditionally provide regional communication services to telephone subscribers. Telephones of customers within the LEC's operating area connect directly the LEC's communication equipment. IXCs route calls from one LEC to another. In practice, there are several IXCs that provide long-distance carrier services. Under a traditional model, each IXC provides a physical connection from its network to each LEC that it services. A customer may designate one of the IXCs as a carrier of choice, in which case the LEC routes calls for that customer to the designated IXC.
Tolls for long distance calls typically are shared among three communication networks: The LEC serving the calling customer, the IXC and the LEC serving the called customer. To reduce costs of call connections, certain customers connect their communication equipment directly to an IXC. Typically, such customers are commercial customers possessing high capacity communication equipment, such as a private branch exchange ("PBX"), that may be configured to connect directly to the IXC's communication equipment. Because these large customers provide their own access to an IXC as an alternative to a LEC, they are referred to as "alternative access customers."
Not all IXCs are created equal. Some small IXCs possess one or a few communication switches to carry communication traffic. Other, larger IXCs possess multiple communication switches. To conform to the traditional model of FIG. 1, an IXC would provide a physical connection to each LEC that it serves. The IXC would do so by providing a separate optical or electrical cable, such as a T1 trunk, to carry communication traffic between it and the LEC. T1 trunks have sufficient capacity to carry up to 23 simultaneous telephone calls, although higher capacity trunks are known.
Small IXCs may deviate from the traditional model of FIG. 1. Installation and maintenance of physical connections can be prohibitively expensive. The cost of such connections increases based upon the distance that separates the small IXC and the LEC. Further, even when a small IXC installs such a connection, its capacity is limited. When the connection's capacity is exhausted, the small IXC cannot receive additional call traffic from that LEC even though it possesses sufficient capacity to process additional call traffic internally. As a result of the cost and capacity constraints, many small IXCs become geographically concentrated; they do not provide nationwide network coverage. Accordingly, small IXCs typically seek other solutions when serving customers geographically remote from their network. In one proposed solution, a small IXC routes calls to its customers via another, larger IXC.
The geographic concentration of the small IXC adversely affects its ability to provide cost savings to alternative access customers. The customer derives cost savings when the cost of a direct IXC connection is less than the traditional model. As with other physical connections, the cost of a connection to an alternative access customer is related to the physical distance separating the alternative access customer from the small IXC. The greater the distance, the greater the cost. Thus, the geographic concentration of the small IXC can impair its ability to provide alternative access service to geographically distant customers.
The geographic concentration of a small IXC could be overcome by routing traffic to an alternative access customer over a larger IXC, one geographically proximate to the alternative access customer. In this solution, the alternative access customer would connect to the large IXC rather than the small IXC. The small IXC would direct calls to the alternative access customer over the large IXC. However, permitting a small IXC to direct calls over the large IXC raises a host of security concerns with respect to the large IXC.
As is known, a larger IXC typically is populated by a multiple number of network switches. The switches are interconnected by inter-machine trunks. The inter-machine trunks may be optical or electrical trunks which may possess T1 capacity or more. Inter-machine trunks allow the switches to communicate with one another and send customer specific call routing information within the IXC network. Traditionally, inter-machine trunks are kept within an IXC network and are not extended outside the IXC network. Opening the inter-machine trunk to other external networks would expose the IXC network to externally supplied network addressing and call routing information that may be corrupt. This potentially leads to network performance and security degradation. Many IXCs do not have firewalls as part of their inter-machine design to prevent corrupt information from entering the IXC network. Further, the IXC likely uses proprietary network data which would have to be revealed to extend its inter-machine trunk capability to another network. In many large IXCs, such as the network owned and operated by AT&T, loss of reliability or security is intolerable. These risks would cause a large IXC to deny inter-machine trunking capability to a smaller IXC.
No known inter-network interface protocol provides a small IXC with an opportunity to route call traffic to an alternative access customer via a large IXC. Accordingly, there is need in the art for such an interface protocol. Further, there is a need in the art for such a protocol that maintains security and reliability of the large IXC's inter-machine trunks.
Some communication providers currently offer a communication service known as a Virtual Private Network ("VPN"). The service allows a customer to use the provider's network as a private network configured according to parameters established by the customer. For example, the VPN service may place call connections based on private numbering codes, such as intercom codes, established by the customer. Such a service generates an appearance that the customer is connected by a private network even though the provider's network handles the calls.
FIG. 2 illustrates a typical implementation of a VPN. A PBX 10, 20 from each office connects to the closest switch 30, 40 of a communication service provider 70 over a unique physical interface. To implement the private numbering plan feature of the VPN service, a caller dials a custom private code requesting a called party. The PBX 10 interfaces with the IXC's switch 30 and sends the pre-defined code to the switch. The switch 30, based on the customer's unique PBX to switch interface, recognizes this call as a VPN call and queries a database 60. The database 60 stores unique customer profiles for each customer to the VPN service. Based on the switch query, the database retrieves a profile of the VPN customer that contains a network address to be used by the switch 30 to complete the call.
Armed with the network address, the switch 30 establishes a call connection to a second switch 40 connected to the PBX 20 of the called party. The network address identifies the trunk 21 interconnecting the PBX 20 to the second switch 40. The first switch 30 also provides information to the called party's PBX 20 allowing the PBX 20 to route the call further to the called party.
The VPN service provides no means for a first IXC to originate and terminate its nodal customers' calls via a second IXC. In other words, the VPN service does not allow for inter-machine trunking capability.
According to the present invention, a virtual inter-machine trunking facility is established between a first IXC and a customer to which it is not directly connected by a second IXC. For a given call, the first IXC requests the second IXC to establish a connection to the customer. The protocol exchanged between the first and second IXCs, however, prevents requests from the first IXC from jeopardizing the security and reliability of the second IXC.
According to the protocol, setup signaling including a destination telephone number is received from the first IXC representative of a desired call connection. The destination telephone number and a carrier identifier are referred to a memory within the second IXC and a profile of the first IXC is retrieved therefrom. A routing identifier is retrieved from the profile based on the telephone number. Based upon the routing identifier, IXC routes the call to its destination.
FIG. 1 illustrates a simplified model of the known public switched telephone network.
FIG. 2 illustrates a model of a communication network operating in accordance with the known virtual private network service.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a communication network operating in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 illustrates a method of operation of an originating switch and a database in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention provides a virtual inter-machine trunking facility between a small IXC and a customer to which it is not directly connected. Instead, a large IXC connects the small IXC to the customer. For a given call, the small IXC requests the large IXC to establish a connection to the customer. The protocol exchanged between the large and small IXCs, however, prevents requests from the small IXC from jeopardizing the security and reliability of the large IXC's network.
FIG. 3 shows communication networks operating in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. A first IXC 100 routes calls from a second IXC 200 to the second IXC's customer at PBX 300. For illustrative purposes herein, the first IXC 100 shall be referred to as a "large IXC" and the second IXC 200 shall be referred to as a "small IXC." However, as shall be understood, the principles of the present invention apply without regard to relative sizes among communication networks.
The large IXC 100 is populated by an originating switch 110, a terminating switch 120 and, optionally, a plurality of intermediate communication switches 130 that route call traffic throughout the large IXC. The originating switch 110, the terminating switch 120 and the intermediate switches 130 may be model 4ESS switches, commercially available from Lucent Technologies of Murray Hill, N.J. The large IXC 100 also is provided with a memory such as database 140 described below.
The small IXC 200 is provided in communication with the originating switch 110. The originating switch 100 and the small IXC 200 typically communicate over an optical or electrical cable, such as a T1 trunk 112. The trunk 112 interconnects to the originating switch 110 at one of several physical ports (not shown). A PBX 300 of an alternative access customer connects directly to a terminating switch 120 in the large IXC again over an optical or electrical cable 122.
According to the present invention, the large IXC 100 routes calls from the small IXC 200 to the small IXC's customers. It routes the calls in a way that denies the small IXC 200 access to sensitive interconnection functions employed by the large IXC 100 Thus, the large IXC 100. maintains its own integrity and reliability regardless of the commands that may be input to it by the small IXC 200.
To provide the inter-machine trunking service to a small IXC 200, the small IXC 200 pre-registers with the large IXC 100. As part of the pre-registration, a series of data records are stored in the database 140 identifying destination addresses of the small IXC's customers (such as PBX 300). Each record is indexed by an identifier of the small IXC. Individual customer records are indexed also by the destination number of the corresponding customer. Each record contains a routing identifier identifying an address to which the large IXC 100 will route calls received from the small IXC to the customers. The routing identifier simply may be the same destination number that is used to index the record. The routing identifier identifies a trunk to be used to route calls to the customer (such as trunk 122).
FIG. 4 illustrates a method of operation that the originating switch 110 and database 140 may use to provide inter-machine trunking services to the small IXC 200. During call setup, the small IXC 200 provides the originating switch 110 with call setup information according to conventional techniques (Step 1010). The call setup information includes a destination telephone number representing the PBX 300. The destination telephone number may take several formats, for example, the well known North American Numbering Plan format. Alternatively, the destination telephone number may be a private number generated according to a private numbering plan predefined for both the large and small IXCs. The originating switch 110 identifies the source of the call setup information (Step 1020); typically, the switch 110 may identify the small IXC 200 by the physical port over which it receives the information. The originating switch 110 refers an IXC identifier and the destination number to the database 140 (Step 1030).
The database 140 receives the IXC identifier and the destination number as inputs (Step 2010). It retrieves a routing identifier indexed by these inputs and returns the routing identifier to the originating switch 110 (Steps 2020 and 2030). If the received destination number does not index a record, the database 140 returns a signal indicating that the destination number is invalid (Step not shown).
The originating switch 110 receives the response from the database 140 (Step 1040). The response identifies whether the destination telephone number is valid (Step 1050). If the destination telephone number is valid, the originating switch 110 routes the call based on the routing identifier retrieved from the database 140 (Step 1060). If the destination telephone number is invalid, the originating switch 110 refuses the call (Step 1070).
Thus, according to the present invention, the large IXC 100 routes calls received from the small IXC 200 based on a routing identifier retrieved from a database 140. Although the routing identifier may contain the same destination number received from the small IXC 200, the present invention provides an important protection. The switches of the large IXC 100 are not responsive to commands received from the small IXC 200. They remain immune to errors introduced by the small IXC 200. Although the inter-machine trunking feature provided by the present invention introduces additional steps to complete calls, the cost of the additional steps adds significant protection to the operation of the large IXC 100.
The protocol of the present invention provides important protections to the security and reliability of the large IXC 300. A connection requested by the small IXC 200 will not be implemented by the large IXC 300 unless it "maps" to an entry in the database 140. Therefore, spurious commands imposed by the small IXC 200 will not be implemented by switch 110. The present invention maintains the reliability and security of the large IXC 300.
The present invention also permits a small IXC 200 to establish a private numbering plan for its customers. A private number entered by the customer (not shown) from within the small IXC 200 is presented to the large IXC 100 and referred to the database 140. Provided that the database 140 defines a command with the private number, the large IXC 200 will establish a connection with the large customer 300.
The present invention has been described as implemented in an IXC, namely the large IXC. However, the principles of the present invention may be provided as a feature of any communication carrier, including a LEC, without modification. Further, although the invention has been described as providing inter-machine trunking services for the benefit of small IXCs, it may be provided for the benefit of any communication network, not only IXCs. For example, the present invention may be provided to route traffic of a LEC to an alternative access customer.
