Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for the prioritized transmission of messages includes monitoring a network link of a mobile device to determine performance characteristics of the network link, establishing a network association between the mobile device and a routing network node, receiving a connection request from an application that is directed to a connection between the mobile device and a destination server, determining a relative priority of the connection, mapping the connection to a stream of the network association that is associated with the relative priority of the connection and identifies the destination server, and transmitting messages for the stream to the routing network node interlaced with messages of other streams of the network association based on the performance characteristics of the network link and the relative priority associated with the stream in comparison to relative priorities associated with the other streams of the network association.
Abstract:
In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention, a communication apparatus includes a communication unit configured to send and receive messages on a network. Each message has a message header configured to include a plurality of header fields, where the message header includes a suppression header field that indicates a request to suppress at least one header field in at least one subsequently sent or received message. The communication apparatus is configured to establish a suppressed header field message exchange session with a peer on the network so that at least one subsequent message exchanged between the communication apparatus and the peer is free of at least one suppressible header field.
Abstract:
Various embodiments provide methods and systems operable to provide access to real time control protocol (RTCP) information for improved media quality control. An example embodiment includes a message processor to receive a message, the message including information indicative of an RTP port identifier, and to add to the received message information indicative of an auxiliary RTCP port identifier; and a message communication component to communicate the information indicative of an auxiliary RTCP port identifier to a node.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a protocol translator a first message from a first endpoint to a second endpoint. The first message includes a list of media capabilities of the first endpoint. The method also includes transmitting from the protocol translator a second message to the second endpoint including a media capabilities request header and receiving at the protocol translator a response message from the second endpoint. The response message includes a response header including a list of the media capabilities of the second endpoint.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method, apparatus and system for interworking between H.320 or H.324 and SIP. The method comprises receiving a SIP message indicative of capabilities supported by a first endpoint device and deferring responding to the SIP message. The method further comprises receiving from a second endpoint device an H.320 or H.324 message indicative of the capabilities supported by the second endpoint device in response thereto responding to the SIP message thereby to establish a media communication channel between the first and second endpoint devices based on their respective capabilities.
Abstract:
In a particular embodiment, a network device receives, from a first device, a first call request for a second device. The network device may then send the first call request to a redirect server, which can determine where to send the call. The network device receives a response from the redirect server indicating an address to redirect the call request to. The network device then determines a redirect ID for the redirect. The network device sends a message to the first device with the redirect ID where the message indicates that a redirection occurred to the third device. The network device then receives a second call request from the first device that includes the redirect ID. The network device determines if the call was part of a previous redirect. If so, the second call request is sent to the address associated with the redirect ID.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method comprises obtaining, by a client device via a wireless data link with a wireless access point, information from a network device within a data network reachable via the wireless access point, the information describing network conditions associated with a service provided to the client device via the data network; and the client device optimizing a transmission control protocol (TCP) communication, via the wireless data link, for optimization of the service provided by the client device.
