METHODS FOR HANDLING A CONNECTION STATUS

摘要

A technique for handling a status of a connection (100) for a call is provided. The connection comprising a signal path (110) and a media path (112) towards a terminating side (104). The signal path includes nodes (105-108) at least some of which are to be informed of the status by a signal packet that is forwarded towards the terminating side of the connection on the signal path. As to a method aspect of the technique, one (106) of the nodes inserts (202) a media resource (118) in the media path (112) of the connection (100). The media resource provides media for announcing the status of the connection at the terminating side (104) of the connection. The node includes (204) in the signal packet, which signals the status to one or more of the nodes (107, 108) that are further towards the terminating side, a suppression indicator (114) for controlling suppression of media resource insertion at the one or more nodes. The node transmits (206) the signal packet towards the terminating side on the signal path (110) of the connection.
