Abstract
The present invention is directed to load balancing call signaling channels at the times that they are established, the use of variable frequency keep alive mechanisms depending on the state of the call signaling channel, and the establishment of a call signaling channel when resources are available or otherwise based on need.

16. A method, comprising:
-
(a) a first computational component determining whether a first channel has been established between the first computational component and a second computational component; (b) when the first computational component determines that the first channel has been established, sending to a second computational component a keep alive signal at a first frequency; and (c) when the first computational component determines that the first channel has not been established, sending to the second computational component a keep alive signal at a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is lower than the second frequency. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25)
