Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a media gateway by a switching center having a cluster structure with a plurality of blades using a partial wildcarding mechanism by including a blade identifier in the wildcard field.
Claims19
A method implemented by a switching center for controlling a media gateway, the switching center having a blade cluster structure with a plurality of blades, the method comprising transmitting to the media gateway a message that includes wildcard information, the wildcard information containing a blade identifier and a remaining wildcard field, the blade identifier identifying one of the plurality of blades that form the blade cluster structure of the switching center.
A media gateway controller associated with a switching center server that has a blade cluster structure with a plurality of blades, the media gateway controller comprising:
- a processor and a memory, said memory containing instructions executable by said processor whereby said media gateway controller is configured to control a media gateway by generating a message for the media gateway that includes wildcard information, the wildcard information containing a blade identifier identifying one of said plurality of blades that form the blade cluster structure of the switching center server.
A method implemented by a media gateway controlled by a switching center, the switching center having a blade cluster structure with a plurality of blades, the method comprising:
- receiving from the switching center a message that includes wildcard information;
- determining a blade identifier contained within the wildcard information, the wildcard information containing the blade identifier and a remaining wildcard field, the blade identifier identifying a particular one of said blades that form the blade cluster structure of the switching center;
- and
- executing one or more commands according to the message, based on the blade identifier.
A media gateway configured to be controlled by a switching center, the switching center having a blade cluster structure with a plurality of blades, the media gateway comprising:
- an input/output circuit configured to receive from the switching center a message that includes wildcard information;
- a control circuit configured to:
- determine a blade identifier contained within the wildcard information, the wildcard information containing the blade identifier and a remaining wildcard field, the blade identifier identifying a particular one of said blades that form the blade cluster structure of the switching center;
- and
- execute one or more commands according to the message, based on the blade identifier.
