Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the exchange of datagrams between application modules executed by machines connected to a telecommunications network. A method implementation of the technique presented herein comprises several steps performed or triggered by a first machine of the machines. The steps comprise executing one or more application modules, each of which being associated with an application module address and configured to exchange the datagrams using the associated application module address. The steps further comprise establishing a plurality of tunnels between the first machine and a plurality of second machines different from the first machine, each of the tunnels being associated with a tunnel endpoint address for one of the second machines. Still further, the steps comprise forwarding the datagrams between the application modules and tunnels depending on the application module address.

Abstract: A technique for handling a status of a connection for a call is provided. The connection has a signal path and a media path towards a terminating side. The signal path includes nodes at least some of which are to be informed of the status by a signal packet that is forwarded towards the terminating side of the connection on the signal path. One node inserts a media resource in the media path of the connection. The media resource provides media for announcing the status of the connection at the terminating side of the connection. The node includes in the signal packet, which signals the status to one or more of the nodes that are further towards the terminating side, a suppression indicator controlling suppression of media resource insertion at the one or more nodes. The node transmits the signal packet towards the terminating side on the signal path.
