  • Soft switch using distributed firewalls for load sharing voice-over-IP traffic in an IP network
    Patent number: 7072332
    Abstract: A switch capable of handling voice-over-IP (VoIP) traffic between calling devices and called devices. The switch comprises: 1) call application nodes for executing call process server applications, wherein a first call process server application and a similar second call process server application form a first load sharing group server application; and 2) network address translation nodes for executing firewall server applications. A first firewall server application executed on a first network address translation node is associated with a similar second firewall server application executed on a second network address translation nodes separate from the first network address translation node. The first and second firewall server applications form a second load sharing group server application.
