| 20100138226 | Method and Arrangement for Controlling and Charging for Peer-to-Peer Services in an IP-based Communication Network - A system and a method permit P2P services in an IP-based communications network and also permit direct IP-traffic between subscribers in a controlled manner solely for specific P2P applications that are predetermined by the system provider. Other aims are to provide options for carrying out a special billing method for subscribers of P2P services and to enable the detection of the termination of a P2P session of a subscriber in order to withdraw the authorization for the corresponding P2P service in the network of the system provider. The aims are achieved by software containing logic P2P service-specific communication channels in the terminals, each terminal communicating with an index server prior to establishing direct logic communication connections to other terminals in the communications system. The index server then carries out a P2P service-specific access check for each terminal in conjunction with the billing and access check control function. | 06-03-2010 |
