1. For use with a core proxy server operative to receive and forward sip:
- signaling messages in an IP network, an improved route engine module comprising;
a plurality of route trees encoded as XML files, wherein each of said route trees is provisioned for use according to a corresponding network service and further comprises one or more nodes each encoded with logic to independently carry out required processing for the service.

Abstract
A system and method for routing signaling messages in a communication network includes an improved route engine having a plurality of dynamically loadable route trees encoded as standardized data files each provisioned for use according to a corresponding network service and having one or more nodes each encoded with logic to independently carry out processing for the service and return a corresponding route response.

7. For use in an IP network comprising a core proxy server operative to receive and forward SIP signaling messages, an improved method for determining where to route said messages, comprising:
-
providing a route engine in communication with the core proxy server, the route engine comprising a plurality route trees each provisioned for a selected network service and each route tree further comprising one or more nodes each encoded with logic in XML file format to independently carry out required processing for the service;
receiving a route request message at the core proxy server;
abstracting from the route request message the selected network service;
determining the corresponding route tree;
traversing the route tree to carry out the processing for the selected service; and
returning a route response message to the core proxy server in accordance with the results of the processing.

-
providing a route engine in communication with the proxy server, the route engine comprising a plurality route trees encoded as corresponding text files, each route tree provisioned for a selected network service and further comprising one or more nodes each encoded with logic to independently carry out required processing for the service;
receiving a route request message at the proxy server;
abstracting from the route request message the selected network service;
determining the corresponding route tree;
traversing the route tree to carry out the processing for the selected service; and
returning a route response message to the proxy server in accordance with the results of the processing. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
