A telecommunication service charges for voice calls entering a network
over a particular time period, such as a billing period. A parameter or
parameters related to the number of information units (e.g., packets,
bytes or bits) used to transmit the plurality of voice calls over the
network is measured. A charge for the plurality of voice calls is
computed based on the one or more parameters measured. The one or more
parameters may be used to compute a charge for the plurality of voice
calls based on the total number of information units transmitted, average
number of information units transmitted, peak information units
transmitted over the billing period or some combination thereof.
