US 2010/0138538 A1 · PROXY, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SESSION KEEP-ALIVE DETECTION

Abstract

A proxy includes a session keep-alive detection converting unit, configured to perform conversion between a first session keep-alive detection message supported by a first session communication peer and a second session keep-alive detection message supported by a second session communication peer. Another proxy includes a session group keep-alive detection processing unit, configured to act as an intermediate agent for the session group keep-alive detection between a session group communication peer and a session communication peer. A method and network system for session keep-alive detection based on two proxies is also provided. The present invention can implement conversion between different session keep-alive detection mechanisms, and perform keep-alive detection on the session group, thus reducing the message traffic in the session keep-alive detection.

Dependent claims

A proxy, comprising:

a first obtaining unit, configured to obtain a first session keep-alive detection message supported by a first session communication peer;
a second obtaining unit, configured to obtain a second session keep-alive detection message supported by a second session communication peer;
and
a session keep-alive detection converting unit, configured to perform conversion between the first session keep-alive detection message obtained by the first obtaining unit and the second session keep-alive detection message obtained by the second obtaining unit.

A proxy, comprising:

a third obtaining unit, configured to obtain a third session keep-alive detection message supported by a session group communication peer;
a fourth obtaining unit, configured to obtain a fourth session keep-alive detection message supported by a group of session communication peers;
and
a session group keep-alive detection processing unit, configured to perform conversion between the third session keep-alive detection message that is supported by the session group communication peer and obtained by the third obtaining unit and the fourth session keep-alive detection message that is supported by the group of session communication peers and obtained by the fourth obtaining unit.
