System and method for assisting in controlling real-time transport protocol flow through multiple networks via media flow routing
First Claim
1. A system for controlling real-time transport protocol flow through multiple networks via use of a media flow routing, comprising:
- a first computer connected to a second computer, via a plurality of associated computers, wherein each of said first computer, said second computer, and said plurality of associated computers comprise;
a transceiver;
software stored therein defining functions to be performed; and
a processor configured by said software to perform the steps of;
performing an inbound screen on route information received from said second 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 first computer; and
selecting a primary route from said received route information and local route information in accordance with said local policy, wherein said primary route is a path from said first computer to said second computer via said plurality of associated computers.

Abstract
A system and method for assisting in controlling real-time transport protocol flow through multiple networks via media flow routing is disclosed. The system utilizes a first computer and a second computer connected to the first computer, via a group of associated computers, wherein each of the first computer, second computer, and group of associated computers comprise a transceiver, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured by the memory to perform the functions of: performing an inbound screen on route information received 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 second computer; performing an outbound screen on the received and screened information prior to transmitting the received and screened route information to the first computer; and selecting a primary route from the received route information and local route information in accordance with the local policy, wherein the primary route is a path from the second computer to the first computer via the group of associated computers.

43. A system for controlling real-time transport protocol flow via use of a media flow routing, comprising:
-
means for receiving information regarding a route from a first computer to a second computer, via a plurality of associated computers;
means for performing an inbound screen on said received route information from said first computer which determines if said received route information should be discarded;
means for comparing said received and screened route information to a local policy stored within said second computer if said route information is not discarded; and
means for selecting a primary route from said received route information and local route information in accordance with said local policy, wherein said primary route is a path from said second computer to said first computer via said plurality of associated computers. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)
