    摘要: A fault tolerant platform is provided that comprises two systems running pairs of processes in the active and standby state, one process from each pair running on each system. Each system comprises a fault-tolerance controlling process, first communication channels provided between the fault-tolerance controlling process and the processes in the active or standby state running on its system, and second communication channels provided between the fault-tolerance controlling processes. Management of fault tolerance (that is, promoting a process in a standby state to the active state, and making a process in an active state exit from the active state) is handled by the fault-tolerance controlling processes. A generic management of fault tolerant processes is thus provided in which fault detection and switchover is carried out independently of the applications. The invention thus ensures efficient and coherent switchover between active and standby processes.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of tone detection and, more particularly, to the detection of dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones in software based telecommunications systems. As modem telecommunications systems are becoming increasingly software based and typically require only a minimum of physical hardware, much of the necessary telecommunication functionality is now provided by software functions running on powerful computer servers. A common function which is required to be performed by telecommunications systems is that of dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) detection. Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide an efficient software-based DTMF detection system that satisfies the ever increasing need for efficient software functions.

    摘要: A high availability platform runs a fault-tolerant controller process (FTC) and at least one monitored process that indicates its live state by periodically sending a heart-beat message to the FTC. The FTC responds to the heart-beat message by modifying the frequency at which it expects the heart-beat message according to information contained therein. The platform may run an additional process, the monitored process being adapted to regularly send the additional process a message and to notify the FTC that the additional process is dead when it receives an error code from an operating system after sending a message to the additional process.

    摘要: Configuration of a new point code connected to a SS7 network through a MTP level 3 aligned link, involves listening to point code status massages originating from distant point codes and forwarded on said link. When a message originating from an unknown distant point code is received, the table of distant point codes is updated with the point code number of the distant point code; at the same time, a primary route to the new distant point code through the link may be created. Therefore, configuration and testing of a new point code within an existing SS7 network, without having to re-enter the full network architecture, is facilitated.

    摘要: The invention suggests providing in a processing system a licence controller (1), for controlling use of a resource by processes (3, 5, 7); for each process to be controlled, there is provided an inter-process communication (9, 11) between the process and the licence controller. A process and the licence controller exchange through the inter-process communication of the process information regarding actual and allowed use of the resource by the process. According to this information, the process may be controlled, be it on a self-control basis or through control of the licence controller.Use of the resource to be dynamically adapted; high availability is guaranteed since processes may operate even when the licence controller fails.
