ABSTRACT:
A technique for providing a flexible approach to generating and signaling tones, such as call progress tones, in a communications network is described. Parameters associated with tones generated and signaled in a communication network are dynamically configured. A tone to be generated and signaled onto the network is specified in a request that identifies the tone. Parameters associated with the specified tone are identified. The information representing the tone is then generated in accordance with the identified parameters and signaled onto the communications network.
