20090022147 | TELEPHONY COMMUNICATION VIA VARIED REDUNDANT NETWORKS - A switched telephone network is arranged in a manner to enable packet voice communication between telephone terminals via multiple redundant packet switched networks. The packet switched networks may utilize different protocols, be operated by different entities, and have primary functions other than voice communication. One example of such a network may be internetworked networks, such as the Internet. One example of an alternate packet switched network may be a network whose primary function is control of a circuit switched telephone network.

20110038473 | SELECTIVE BANDWIDTH CONNECTIVITY THROUGH NETWORK LINE CARDS - Public communication networks increasingly need to provide customers with a range of communication services, from baseband voice service, to computer data communications, to high speed digital data communications for multimedia and the like. Many such services would be blocked by existing telephone network line cards, which provide coding and decoding (CODEC) between analog and digital signals and process digital signals only at a relatively low, fixed bit rate. In accord with the invention, intelligent signal detection and control added to a line card selectively bypasses the CODEC and the associated connection to a time slot limited telephone exchange. The selective bypass connection provides a connection to an alternative network functionality capable of providing higher bandwidth digital services. In the preferred embodiment, the bypass provides a connection through an adaptive digital signal processor with a programmed controller. The digital signal processor provides coding and decoding functions, adapted to the particular communication service requested and the physical level signal protocol used over the customer's line. The digital signal processor also provides a two-way digital communication link to a relatively fast data switch, such as an edge device of an asynchronous transport mode (ATM) network. The data switch and associated data network provide a full range of digital communication services of various bandwidths or bit rates as may be requested by individual. | 02-17-2011 |

20110096788 | SESSION BORDER CONTROL MIGRATION - One or more devices in a provider network receive provisioning information to migrate customer devices within a customer network from an original session border controller (SBC) device of the provider network to a new SBC device, where the provisioning information includes one or more fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs) associated with the original SBC device. The one or more devices update DNS server entries for the one or more FQDNs with an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the new SBC device and provide, to the customer devices within the customer network, DNS entry updates for the one or more FQDNs. The new SBC device then receives SIP session signal from the customer devices, and the configuration information associated with the customer may be deleted from the original SBC. | 04-28-2011 |
