Call redundancy for a packet-based network
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a receiver module in communication with a packet-based network adapted to receive or transmit data associated with a plurality of calls from one or more signaling links, the data including signaling information based on a publicly-switched telephone network (“
PSTN”
) standard;
a first processor module in communication with the receiver module, the first processor module adapted to process the data associated with the plurality of calls; and
a second processor module in communication with the receiver module and the first processor module, the second processor module adapted to receive at least a portion of the data associated with the plurality of calls, wherein the at least a portion of data maintained on the second processor module is synchronized with the corresponding data processed by the first processor module.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are described associated with call redundancy for a packet-based network. The described call redundancy involves a receiver module in communication with the packet-based network adapted to receive or transmit data associated with a plurality of calls from one or more signaling links. The data includes signaling information based on a publicly-switched telephone network (“PSTN”) standard. A first processor module is in communication with the receiver module and is adapted to process the data associated with the plurality of calls. A second processor module is in communication with the receiver module and the first processor module. The second processor module is adapted to receive at least a portion of the data associated with the plurality of calls. At least a portion of data maintained on the second processor module is synchronized with the corresponding data processed by the first processor module.

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving at a receiver module in communication with a packet-based network data associated with a plurality of calls on one or more signaling links, the data including signaling information based on a publicly-switched telephone network (“
PSTN”
) standard; and
providing the data associated with the plurality of calls to a first processor module and a second processor module, wherein the first processor module processes the data associated with the plurality of calls and the second processor module is adapted to process the data associated with the plurality of calls when the first processor module does not process the data. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in an information carrier, the computer program product including instructions being operable to cause data processing apparatus in communication with a packet-based network to:
-
receive data associated with a plurality of calls from one or more signaling links, the data including signaling information based on a publicly-switched telephone network (“
PSTN”
) standard;
provide the data associated with the plurality of calls to a first processor module for processing the data and to a second processor module adapted to process the data associated with the plurality of calls when the first processor module does not; and
maintain at least a portion of the data on a second processor module, the data being synchronized to the corresponding data processed by the first processor module.
