  24. Element Based Charging (EBC) used within both BT Basic and BT Transit Telephony Element Based Charging uses switch related elements for charging. This allows BT to recover costs based upon the amount of ‘work’ done within our network when carrying a call, depending on how much switching and how far (in some cases) we carry the call before delivery. This method of charging is applicable for services such as BT Basic Telephony Part 1.01, and BT Transit to CP Telephony Part 1.12. As part of BT’s Least Cost Routing ‘Pricing Promise’, the actual route of each call is not considered, but the ‘shortest path’ method is used. Using this method, all possible call routes are considered (even backup circuits and private links) when evaluating the ‘shortest path’, so that a CP is never over-charged for a call by this method, even when those circuits will never be used for those types of telephony. The customer is always charged based upon the theoretical least cost (shortest) route ! The EBC bands are described in the following slides... Author: Zack Thompson

  25. Element Based Charging (EBC) BT Terminating Local Exchange For calls originating on a CP’s network and terminating on the BT network (Part 1.01, 1.10) CP SWITCH BT DLE BT customer Single Tandem CP SWITCH BT DMSU BT DLE Double Tandem BT customer Distance element CP SWITCH BT DMSU BT DMSU BT DLE BT customer For Double Tandem calls there is an additional distance element (short <100km, medium 100-200km, long >200km). The distance between all DMSUs (there may be more than two) is considered for this distance element. Author: Zack Thompson

  26. Element Based Charging (EBC) CP Terminating (TRANSIT) Local Exchanges cannot generally be used as transit switches and therefore there is no Local Exchange element for transit call types. For calls originating on a CP’s network, transiting the BT network and terminating on another CP’s network (Part 1.12.1) Single Tandem CP A SWITCH CP B SWITCH BT DMSU CP B customer Double Tandem Distance element CP B SWITCH CP A SWITCH BT DMSU BT DMSU CP B customer For Double Tandem calls there is an additional distance element (short <100km, medium 100-200km, long >200km). The distance between all DMSUs (as there may be more than two) is considered for this distance element. Author: Zack Thompson
