Abstract
A system and method for providing a high reliability network. Context servers store information about calls in a telecommunications system. Network control elements can obtain call information from the context servers to help make call control and reporting decisions.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a network control device in a network, a message associated with a computer system requesting one or more services provided by the network;
- sending, by the network control device, a request to one or more context servers for context information about the message, wherein the request includes a data key that identifies the message;
- receiving, by the network control device, the context information from at least one of the context servers, wherein the context information includes identification information that matches the data key, and a timestamp of a previously processed message associated with the computer system requesting the one or more services;
- and
- processing, by the network control device, the message based on the context information.
2 more elements
A network control device, comprising:
- one or more memory devices storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more memory devices, the one or more processors operable to execute the instructions to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a message associated with a computer system requesting one or more services provided by a network;
- sending a request to one or more context servers for context information about the message, wherein the request includes a data key that identifies the message;
- receiving the context information from at least one of the context servers, wherein the context information includes identification information that matches the data key, and a timestamp of a previously processed message associated with the computer system requesting the one or more services;
- and
- processing the message based on the context information.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a message associated with a computer system requesting one or more services provided by a network;
- sending a request to one or more context servers for context information about the message, wherein the request includes a data key that identifies the message;
- receiving the context information from at least one of the context servers, wherein the context information includes identification information that matches the data key, and a timestamp of a previously processed message associated with the computer system requesting the one or more services;
- and
- processing the message based on the context information.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a network control device in a network, a request for context information about a message associated with a computer system requesting one or more services provided by the network, wherein the request includes a data key that identifies the message;
- determining, by a context server, the context information, wherein the context information includes identification information that matches the data key, and a timestamp of a previously processed message associated with the computer system requesting the one or more services;
- and
- sending, by the context server, the context information to the network control device, wherein the network control device processes the message based on the context information.
