Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automatic, peer node transparent rehoming of time division multiplexed (TDM)-based signaling channels in an X user adaptation (XUA) signaling gateway

A system for automatic, peer-node-transparent re-homing of time division multiplexed (TDM)-based signaling channels in an X user adaptation XUA signaling gateway (SG), the system comprising:

• an XUA signaling gateway including:
• a plurality of XUA SG cards;
• a plurality of TDM NICs;
• a plurality of packet NICs;
• a switching matrix connecting the TDM NICs and the XUA SG cards, wherein the switching matrix is configured to terminate a set of TDM-based signaling channels at a first XUA SG card of the plurality of XUA SG cards;
• and a controller for, while the switching matrix is switching the set of TDM-based signaling channels to the first XUA SG card:
• detecting failure of the first XUA SG card;
• and automatically reconfiguring the switching matrix to couple the set of TDM-based signaling channels is switched to a second XUA SG card of a plurality of XUA SG cards.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:

• configuring a switching matrix in an X user adaptation layer (XUA) signaling gateway (SG) having a plurality of signaling gateway (SG) cards and a plurality of TDM network interface cards (NICs) to couple a first XUA signaling gateway card terminates a set of TDM-based signaling channels;
• switching the set of TDM-based signaling channels from one of the TDM NICs to the first XUA SG card;
• and while switching the first of TDM-based signaling channels:
• detecting failure of the first XUA SG card;
• automatically reconfiguring the switching matrix to couple the set of TDM-based signaling channels is switched to a second XUA SG card of the plurality of XUA SG cards.
