Described herein is a method of controlling calls for packet switched networks, each network including at least two local area networks (50, 60) and a connecting network (70). The method comprises the steps of determining an 5 acceptable packet loss rate for a call to be established between two of the local area networks, comparing actual packet loss rate to the acceptable packet loss rate, and dropping the call if the actual packet loss rate is greater than the acceptable packet loss rate. determining for how long a period the actual packet loss rate has been happening and utilising that period in deciding to drop the call. A recorded announcement may be played when the call is to be dropped. Alternatively, the priority of the transmission of the continuous stream of data can be changed when the actual packet loss rate is not acceptable and the above steps are repeated. Ideally, data relating to dropped calls is stored for future one.

A network management assembly is disclosed for managing a flow of network management traffic across a network comprising a plurality of discrete network domains. The assembly comprises a first management terminal which is arranged to transmit network management traffic to each of the network domains via a respective first communication link and a second management terminal which is arranged to receive network management traffic from each of the network domains via a respective second communication link. Each of the first communication links are arranged to permit a flow of network management traffic from the first management terminal to the respective domain and prevent a flow of network management traffic from the respective domain to the first management terminal. Each of the second communication links are similarly arranged to permit a flow of network management traffic from the respective domain to the second management terminal and prevent a flow of network management traffic from the second management terminal to the respective domain. This arrangement is found to minimise the exposure of a particular communications link to information about the network.

A voice traffic gateway including: a voice traffic input, a voice traffic output, a first domain router, non-secure warning (NSW) tone application apparatus and a signalling filter. The input receives voice traffic including voice messages and signalling messages from a first traffic domain. The output delivers output voice messages and signalling messages to a second, different traffic domain. The first domain router routes voice messages to the NSW apparatus and routes signalling messages to the signalling filter. The NSW apparatus applies a NSW tone to a received voice message to form an output voice message. The signalling filter compares a feature of a received signalling message with a reference feature. The signalling filter will pass a signalling message if the signalling message feature is the same as the reference feature and will block a signalling message if the signalling message feature is not the same as the reference feature.
