A system for enterprise collaboration is associated with an overlay network, such as a content delivery network (CDN). The overlay network comprises machines capable of ingress, forwarding and broadcasting traffic, together with a mapping infrastructure. The system comprises a front-end application, a back-end application, and set of one or more APIs through which the front-end application interacts with the back-end application. The front-end application is a web or mobile application component that provides one or more collaboration functions. The back-end application comprises a signaling component that maintains state information about each participant in a collaboration, a connectivity component that manages connections routed through the overlay network, and a multiplexing component that manages a multi-peer collaboration session to enable an end user peer to access other peers' media streams through the overlay network rather than directly from another peer. Peers preferably communicate with the platform using WebRTC. A collaboration manager component enables users to configure, manage and control their collaboration sessions.

An aircraft data network is provided that can include a first Remote Data Concentrator (RDC), a network switch and a second RDC. The first RDC can receive one or more input signals comprising data from a transmitting system, and translate the data per a network protocol to generate translated data having a format in accordance with the network protocol. The network switch can receive the translated data from the first RDC, determine a destination for at least some of the translated data, and route at least some of the translated data toward a first receiving system. The second RDC can receive at least some of the translated data from the network switch, convert at least some of the translated data to generate converted data having a format designed for use by the first receiving system, and communicate the converted data to the first receiving system.

An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: determine that an onboarding standalone non private network and/or service provider hosting the apparatus does not own subscription data for a terminal, in response to the terminal performing an initial access to the onboarding standalone non private network and/or service provider; obtain subscription data for the terminal owned by another standalone non private network and/or service provider from a central provisioning server; and provide subscription data to the terminal.

Systems and methods are provided for providing differential treatment to user traffic involving optimized reporting of start and stop traffic. The systems and method can include detecting, at a user plane function, an initiation of a type of traffic being performed at the user plane function, providing, by the user plane function, a start event trigger of the type of traffic detected by the user plane function to a session management function, and receiving, at the user plane function, a policy associated with the type of traffic from the session management function, the policy including instructions preventing submissions of subsequent event triggers to the session management function until an end of the type of traffic, the subsequent event triggers being associated with the type of traffic detected by the user plane function.

A method for implementing a session border controller (SBC) pool and a SBC device are provided. In the present invention, an SBC pool is formed by at least two SBCs, the at least two SBCs are mutually backed up for disaster recovery and use a same Internet Protocol (IP) address for a terminal device, and whether the terminal device is registered in the SBC pool is determined; and if the terminal device has been registered in the SBC pool, a service message is forwarded to an SBC with which the terminal device is registered. In this way, it is avoided that SBC device disaster recovery places a special requirement for the terminal device, and the terminal device does not need to be configured with two IP addresses. Furthermore, all devices in the SBC pool can process the service message of the terminal device, thereby increasing a resource utilization rate.

A telecommunication device for real-time communication at a border between a global transport network and a private domain of a communication network may include a proxy for a communication protocol, means for traffic using real-time communication protocols to traverse a firewall, means for real-time traffic initiated by the communication protocol to traverse a firewall, means for measuring and collecting value information about the real-time traffic over the global transport network, means for creating mutual trust between the telecommunication device and a second device with which it communicates; and means for authorizing usage of a feature for a mutually trusted communication participant.

A method and an apparatus for performing a distributed control of end-to-end media on packet networks such as Voice over Internet Protocol and Service over Internet Protocol networks are disclosed. The method first receives a request from a first media endpoint device for closing at least one media channel to a second media endpoint device wherein the request contains a descriptor of the first media endpoint device. The method then updates one or more slot states and link states in response to the request and records the current state of each slot for supporting the media channel. The method also records the most recently received descriptor of the media endpoint device as a most recent descriptor for the slot supporting the media channel. The method executes one or more link objects in response to the request for controlling the at least one media channel.

A controller includes a real-time communication unit, an application communication unit, and a socket management unit. The real-time communication unit communicates with an external node by using a first socket on a basis of a transmission right map indicating a node possessing a transmission right out of multiple nodes. The application communication unit communicates, not on a basis of the transmission right map, with the external node by using a second socket differing from the first socket. The socket management unit restricts at least one of transmission of information by the application communication unit to the external node and reception of information by the application communication unit from the external node.

A plurality of users are associated with a system having at least one information processor coupled to a communication network. Multiple wireless access points to the communication network are provided; and multiple of the users associated with the system are provided VoIP access to the communication network via the access points.

An improved system and method are disclosed for providing voice call continuity in an enterprise network. For example, an enterprise public branch exchange (PBX) may be configured with a pilot number that is used to provide VCC services when called by a client. Digit collection via DMTF signaling or other means may be used to collect destination information from the client. The enterprise network may use the collected digits to establish a communication session with another device that corresponds to the destination information.
