System and method for assisting in controlling real-time transport protocol flow through multiple networks via use of a cluster of session routers
First Claim
1. A system for controlling real-time transport protocol flow, comprising:
- a plurality of computers that are connected to a first computer, wherein each of said plurality of computers comprise;
a transceiver;
software stored within said plurality of computers defining functions to be performed by said plurality of computers; and
a processor configured by said software to perform the steps of, performing an inbound screen on route information received by said plurality of computers, from said first computer, to determine if said received route information should be discarded, if said route information is not discarded, comparing said received and screened route information to a local policy defined within said plurality of computers; and
a database on which said local policy is stored, wherein said local policy is used by each of said associated computers within said cluster of computers.

Abstract
A system for assisting in controlling real-time transport protocol flow through multiple networks via use of a cluster of session routers is disclosed. The system utilizes a first computer and a cluster of computers, wherein the cluster of computers comprises at least two associated computers that are connected to the first computer. Each of the associated computers comprises a second transceiver, a second memory having logic stored therein defining functions to be performed by the associated computers, and a second processor. The second processor is configured by the second memory to perform the functions of: performing an inbound screen on route information received by an associated computer, from the first computer, to determine if the received route information should be discarded; if the route information is not discarded, comparing the received and screened route information to a local policy defined within the cluster of computers; and performing an outbound screen on the received and screened information prior to transmitting the received and screened information outside the cluster of computers.

23. A method of controlling real-time transport protocol flow, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving information regarding a route from a first computer to a plurality of computers;
performing an inbound screen on said received route information to determine if said received route information should be discarded; and
if said received route information is not discarded, comparing said received and screened route information to a local policy that is used by the computers within plurality of computers.

43. A system for controlling real-time transport protocol flow through multiple networks, comprising:
-
means for receiving information regarding a route from a first computer to a plurality of computers;
means for performing an inbound screen on said received route information configured to determine if said received route information should be discarded; and
means for comparing said received and screened route information to a local policy that is used by the plurality of computers if said route information is not discarded. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)
