Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system for discovering devices on a local area network. The method comprises sending a DNS request from a host networking element, receiving the DNS request at one or more devices, and responding to the host networking element with one or more DNS responses. The DNS request comprises one or more particular domain names. The one or more DNS responses comprise local network address information for the one or more VoIP devices. The apparatus comprises means for filtering a set of network traffic for a DNS request, means for responding to a DNS request with a local network address, and means for forwarding the DNS request to another device. The system comprises a computer for generating a DNS request for a particular domain, and one or more VoIP devices for receiving the DNS request and sending a DNS response to the computer with a local network address for the VoIP device.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for internet protocol (IP) communication completion via a wireless network include receiving a request from a first device to setup an IP telephony communications session with a second device, generating, based on user device data retrieved for the second device, a first message based on a first communication protocol including telecommunication invitation data to complete the IP telephony communications session, sending the first message to the second device, receiving a response message based on a second communication protocol from the second device, and connecting the second device with the first device to establish the IP telephony communications session.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for routing Application Programming Interface (API) calls from a partner entity to a telephony service provider (TSP) network are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for routing API calls may include receiving a first message including an API call and a partner API key used to authenticate the partner entity on the TSP network to access a partner API layer disposed on the TSP network, extracting the partner API key from the first message, performing an authentication process to authenticate an identity of the partner entity using at least the extracted partner API key, and routing the first message based on results of the authentication process. In some embodiments, the first message is routed to the partner API layer disposed on the TSP network when the identity of the partner entity is authenticated.

Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and methods for updating Internet Protocol (IP) registration on a proxy server, including receiving a device registration message from a first user device in a first protocol, extracting device registration data and network communication address data associated with the first user device from the device registration message, storing an association of the registration data with the network communication address data, and receiving a device registration update message from the first user device in a second protocol.
