    摘要: Certain examples described herein provide a system and method for validating a routing function for a network device. In one example, a network device has a run-time policy engine, wherein the run-time policy engine implements a routing configuration file and the routing configuration file defines a routing function for network traffic. A file editor is also provided that loads the routing configuration file. The file editor has an editor policy engine that duplicates a functionality of the run-time policy engine. In one example, the routing configuration file has at least one validation portion that has one or more route statements with definitions indicative of expected routing function behavior. The file editor parses the routing configuration file by implementing the routing configuration file using the editor policy engine. The editor policy engine applies the routing function defined by the routing configuration file to the one or more route statements and indicates where a result of the routing function does not conform to the definitions indicative of expected routing function behavior. These examples may help to reduce routing errors due to configuration errors in network devices.

    摘要: Measures for use in operating a network node in a telecommunications network. At a network node located in a second part of the network, signaling messages transmitted between a server and end devices in an at least a first group are monitored. Each monitored signaling message includes a telephone dialing number for a given end device in the at least first group and an extension number for the given end device. On the basis of the monitoring, mapping data is stored which includes mappings between telephone dialing numbers and extension numbers for end devices in the at least first group. In response to detecting a loss of connectivity between a first part of the telecommunications network and the second part of the telecommunications network, extension number dialing request messages received from end devices in the first group are processed according to a detected loss of connectivity operating mode.

    摘要: Measures for transferring an established communication session in a telecommunications network, the communication session being established between one of a plurality of communication clients associated with a user and a remote device associated with a remote party. At a call control system located in the signaling path for the established communication session, a communication session transfer request is received from a device associated with the user, the communication session transfer request having been generated by and transmitted from the device. Transfer of the established communication session from the one communication client in the plurality of communication clients to another communication client in the plurality of communication clients is initiated at the call control system. The transfer is conducted on the basis of a preconfigured data set, specific to the user, identifying one or more of the plurality of communication clients associated with the user.

    摘要: At a migration server separate from a first server, a plurality of incoming internet protocol, IP, packets directed at an IP address associated with an IP service are received. On the basis of one or more source characteristics associated with IP packets in the plurality, it is determined that a first subset of packets in the plurality originated from one or more client devices which have not been migrated to a second server and that a second subset in the plurality originated from one or more client devices which have been migrated to the second server. IP packets determined to be in the first subset are forwarded to a first physical address associated with the first server for processing at the first server. IP packets determined to be in the second subset are processed at the second server.
