Abstract
A system and method for interworking a net communication beginning with a proxy protocol and allowing retention of the fullest feature set for enhanced communications between devices. The system within a communications network, receives and analysis the protocol capabilities received by components attempting to establish a communications link and establishes a new proxy protocol based upon commonality of features.
Claims10
A method for facilitating a communications connection between two communication components having different non-compatible communication protocols, comprising:
- providing a protocol switching unit for facilitating negotiation of a protocol between said communication components.
The method of claim 9, further including:
- passing communications between said communication components for establishing, transferring and dropping said communication link and associated communicated information.
A communication component interworking facility, comprising:
- a protocol switching unit,
- a first set of required communication parameters,
- a second set of desired communication parameters corresponding to a first communication component,
- a third set of capable communication parameters corresponding to said first communication equipment,
- a fourth set of desired communication parameters corresponding to a second communication component,
- a fifth set of capable communication parameters corresponding to said second communication equipment,
- a communication protocol established from convergence of said first, second, third, fourth and fifth sets of communication parameters.
