1. A method, comprising:
- triggering a User Agent to monitor a status of at least one component in a communication system, wherein the at least one component comprises a first controller of the User Agent;
sending, by the User Agent, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message to the at least one component; and
determining a status of the at least one component based on a response received at the User Agent.

Abstract
Provided are methods, devices, and systems for maintaining a SIP survivable User Agent. The present invention is adapted to allow the User Agent to detect the status of the network, thus providing the User Agent to perform failover/failback operations. The User Agent may be adapted to determine the status of the network based on its own monitoring mechanisms and/or based on messages received from other network components.
