Load balancing of network communications

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for balancing or routing a received communication on a telecommunications network among a plurality of network devices. More particularly, a load balancing unit is associated with a telecommunications network that receives communications from one or more network devices intended for transmission through that network and selects an associated component of the network to process the communication.

主权项

1. A system for processing a communication over an Internet Protocol (IP) based communication network, the system comprising:
a plurality of SIP proxy components in a telecommunications network; a load balancing device in communication with the plurality of SIP proxy components and in communication with at least one user device, the load balancing device is configured to receive a first communication from the at least one user device and the load balancing device is configured to select one SIP proxy component from the plurality of SIP proxy components to process the first communication, wherein the load balancing device is further configured to transmit one or more Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based messages to the selected one SIP proxy component and also to the at least one user device to route the first communication to the selected one SIP proxy component; a database associated with the load balancing device; and wherein the load balancing device is further configured to receive information from the plurality of SIP proxy components and store the information in the database, the received information comprising at least one technical limitation of each of the plurality of SIP proxy components, and the technical information comprising at least a transmission protocol of each of the plurality of SIP proxy components; wherein the load balancer device is further configured to analyze the first communication and convert the transmission protocol of the first communication to a common protocol of the telecommunications network.
