Estimating the term…
A method, translating apparatus, apparatus comprising a computer readable medium, and system for establishing and terminating an end-to-end connection in a mixed protocol communication network includes a translation function that communicates with a first device using a first communication protocol and a second device using a second communication protocol. In order to establish an end-to-end connection, the translation function receives a first control message from the second device initiating a connection between the second device and the translation function, completes a connection establishment procedure with the second device, receives a first data message from the second device, and transmits a second data message to the first device. In order to terminate an end-to-end connection, the translation function receives a first control message from the second device terminating the connection between the second device and the translation function, completes a link reset procedure with the first device, and then completes a connection termination procedure with the second device.
In a translating apparatus having a first communication interface for communicating with a first device using a first communication protocol and a second communication interface for communicating with a second device using a second communication protocol different from said first communication protocol, a method of terminating a connection between said first device and said second device, the method comprising the steps of:
An apparatus comprising a computer readable medium having embodied therein computer readable program code means for communicating with a first device using a first communication protocol, communicating with a second device using a second communication protocol different from said first communication protocol, and terminating a connection between said first device and said second device, the computer readable program code means comprising:
A translating apparatus comprising:
In a system having a first device in communication with a translating apparatus using a first communication protocol and a second device in communication with said translating apparatus using a second communication protocol different from said first communication protocol, a method of terminating a connection between said first device and said second device, the method comprising the steps of:
