ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for identifying call records in such a manner as to make it possible for a post processing system to produce one bill based upon information stored in all of the produced call records independently of the node where the record is produced. A unique identification code is generated when a call is setup or when the call enters a network. The identification code is then transferred from node to node as the call is transferred from one node to another. Each node involved in the call produces a call record which contains at least a portion of the identification code. As a result, all of the call records produced for the call can be identified by the identification code stored in the call records.
