Processing messages in a gatekeeper of an internet protocol network
First Claim
1. A method for processing messages incoming on a gatekeeper system of an Internet Protocol network, wherein the gatekeeper system includes a plurality of sub-processes each able to process a series of such messages, the method including the step of dispatching the messages incoming on the gatekeeper system onto the different sub-processes, the dispatching step including identifying whether a message belongs to a same call as a previous message, and, in that case, sending the message to the same sub-process as that to which the previous message was sent.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method for processing messages incoming on a gatekeeper system of an Internet Protocol network, characterized in that the method includes a plurality of sub-processes each able to process a series of such messages and the method includes the step of dispatching the messages incoming on the gatekeeper system onto those different sub-processes, the dispatching step including identifying whether a message belongs to a same call as a previous message, and, in that case, sending this message to the same sub-process as said previous message.

- 1. A method for processing messages incoming on a gatekeeper system of an Internet Protocol network, wherein the gatekeeper system includes a plurality of sub-processes each able to process a series of such messages, the method including the step of dispatching the messages incoming on the gatekeeper system onto the different sub-processes, the dispatching step including identifying whether a message belongs to a same call as a previous message, and, in that case, sending the message to the same sub-process as that to which the previous message was sent.
- 11. A gatekeeper system of an Internet Protocol network, the gatekeeper system hosting a plurality of sub-processes each able to process a series of messages, wherein the gatekeeper system is adapted to dispatch the messages onto those different sub-processes, and further wherein the gatekeeper system has means for identifying whether a message belongs to a same call as a previous message, and, in that case, sending this message to the sub-process that processed the previous message.
-
13. A component for a gatekeeper system of an Internet Protocol Network, comprising means for dispatching messages incoming on that component onto a plurality of sub-processes, the component being able to identify whether a message belongs to a same call as a previous message, and, in that case, being able to send this message to the sub-process that processed said previous message.
- 15. A method for processing messages incoming on a gatekeeper system of an Internet Protocol network, wherein the gatekeeper system comprises a plurality of sub-processes each able to process a series of such messages, and further wherein the messages enter the gatekeeper system in an encoded form and comprise a plurality of fields, at least one of which contains data for identifying a call, the method including the step of dispatching the messages incoming on the gatekeeper system onto those different sub-processes, the dispatching step including identifying whether a message belongs to the same call as a previous message, and, in that case, sending the message to the same sub-process as the previous message, and further wherein the dispatching step includes decoding the message only partially, the decoded part including said one or several fields which contain those data.
