Abstract
A method and apparatus for protecting against network damage in next generation communications networks. More particularly, network safety is achieved using semantic restriction of higher level call processing protocol primitives coupled with dynamically programming the various network routing elements to enforce both connection control and rate control.
Claims30
A method for providing services in a communications network comprising:
- initiating a communications session in the communications network;
- executing, in response to the initiating of the communications session, a first process in a host server to deliver at least one service in the communications network;
- executing, in response to the initiating of the communications session, a second process in a device server to deliver the at least one service in the communications network;
- executing a third process in a call coordinator for receiving and operating on requests from the device server and the host server in the delivery of the at least one service;
- and
- establishing rate control and connection control between the host server, the device server, and the call coordinator.

A communications system comprising:
- a host server executing, in response to a initiating of a communications session in the communications system, a first process to deliver at least one service in the communications system;
- a device server executing, in response to the initiating of the communications session, a second process to deliver the at least one service in the communications system;
- a call coordinator executing a third process for receiving and operating on requests from the device server and the host server in the delivery of the at least one service;
- and
- a policy server for establishing rate control and connection control between the host server, the device server, and the call coordinator.
