Open Settlement Protocol (OSP) is the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ESTI) Technical Specification 101 321
for Inter-Domain pricing, authorization and usage exchange. Is a
client/server protocol that
Internet Service Providers use to exchange authorization,
accounting, and usage information to support
IP telephony. The OSP protocol is often used with Public Key
Infrastructure (
PKI) services to implement secure,
multi-lateral
VoIP peering on non-secure networks, such
as the
Internet.
