Applying Shaken Procedures to Legacy Protocols

In one embodiment, a network interface is operable to receive a communication request over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor communicatively coupled to the network interface receives the communication request from a first networked device over a communication link of a radio access network via a first communication protocol. The communication request comprises caller information. The processor then verifies caller information and obtains an authenticator, associated with the caller information, that indicates the communication request is authorized to be routed to a second networked device. The second networked device is configured to receive communications via a second communication protocol.
