1. A method for use at a gateway node in a converged telephony/data network environment for communicating operating status information associated with nodes in a signaling system 7 (SS7) telephony signaling network of the converged network to nodes in a data network of the converged network, the method comprising:

  • (a) detecting a network management event regarding operating status of an SS7 node residing in the SS7 signaling network;

    (b) in response to detecting the network management event, generating a data network management message indicating the operating status of the SS7 node; and

    (c) sending the data network management message to nodes in the data network that are adapted to communicate with the SS7 network.
