Estimating the term…
The invention concerns a telecommunication gateway for processing a data stream in a local chain of process function such as media stream applications (MSAs). The gateway basically includes a bearer control unit (102), a connection coordinator (103), and a resource manager (104) with an associated pool (105) of resources. For a requested connection, the connection coordinator (103) requests a media connection agent (106) and the necessary media stream applications (MSA1-MSA3) from the resource manager (104). The connection agent (106) determines a routing table (107) based on the destination addresses of the requested MSAs, and uses the routing table (107) to route the data stream from an incoming exchange terminal (ET1) to an outgoing exchange terminal (ET2) through the chain of MSAs.
A telecommunication gateway (100) for processing a data stream in a local chain of process functions (MSAs), characterized in that said telecommunication gateway comprises a connection chain agent (106) configured to determine a local routing table (107) for directing said data stream through said local chain of process functions, and configured to distribute at least part of said routing table (107) to the process function level for allowing transfer of said data stream directly between process functions in said local chain.
A method for directing a data stream through a local chain of process functions (MSAs) in a telecommunication gateway (100),
A telecommunication gateway (100) for processing data streams by means of process functions (MSAs),
