<p>A multi-homing proxy apparatus (24), and an associated method (68), for a VoP (Voice overPacket), or other packet-based, telephonic network (10. The multi-homing proxy (24) determines (28), responsive to input indicia of communication conditions in the telephonic network and appropriate load balance of session control functionality amongst softswitches (18-1, 18-2, 18-3) of the telephonic network. Responsive to the determinations (28), a control signal generator (32) generates control signals to control allocation and subsequent reallocation of the session control functionality. <IMAGE></p> |
