Primal Offers Flow-based Management for VoIP

Primal Solutions announced a new release of its usage management solution for MSOs. The Connect IXC platform supports flow-based usage accounting for high speed data services and usage based billing for VOIP services on the same platform. Primal said its system enables MSOs to apply charges to specific service flows that were previously difficult to track, such as peer-to-peer traffic, through their network. MSOs can utilize flow-based accounting and rating for cable modem using a standards-based interface. The streaming delivery of usage data from the cable modem termination system (CMTS) is based on the Subscriber Account Management Interface Specification (SAMIS) for DOCSIS. Primal Solutions is headquartered in Irvine, California. http://www.primal.com
