METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING NETWORK GATEKEEPER MESSAGE PROCESSING

摘要

Methods and systems for controlling network gatekeeper message processing indude overload control routines executed by a network gatekeeper to prevent the network gatekeeper from crashing during overload conditions. The overload control routines are executed in a predetermined order so that messages relating to calls in progress are preferentially processed over messages relating to newly originating calls. Fault detection routines detect protocol stack and application level faults of a network gatekeeper.
