    摘要: In one embodiment, a first audio waveform is produced at a first side of a network connection and then encoded and sent by a first endpoint device to a second endpoint device at a second side of the network connection. A second audio waveform is then detected after being played out by the first endpoint device, the second audio waveform having been produced at the second side of the network connection in response to the second endpoint device playing out the first audio waveform. A round-trip delay is then calculating based on a time period measured from output of the first audio waveform to detection of the second audio waveform. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.

    摘要: The present invention provides a modular architecture for connecting a plurality of telephone lines to a computer network. The invention binds a plurality of network access servers together so that they form a single system image to clients dialing into the plurality of network access servers. The invention operates by providing a tunneling mechanism for communication between the network access servers. The tunneling mechanism facilitates packet re-forwarding so that a call dialed into a physical port in a network access server can be re-forwarded through a logical port in another network access server. This allows a call to be routed through a physical port in a network access server even if no logical port is available in the network access server. Packet re-forwarding also allows multilink connections through physical ports in multiple network access servers to be routed through a single logical port in a network access server. Packet re-forwarding also provides support for spoofing; if the telephone line is torn down during spoofing, the logical port is maintained so that the connection may be reestablished through a physical port in another network access server. Finally, the present invention supports authentication across multiple network access servers using a security server, by allowing the network access servers to share authentication information.
