Abstract: A system performs threat protection for real-time communications (“RTC”). The system receives, by a signaling engine of a gateway, a request of a client according to a protocol, where the request has successfully traversed one or more security devices between the client and the gateway. The system determines, by a protocol handler corresponding to the protocol, whether the request includes a threat. When the request includes the threat, the system indicates the threat to the one or more security devices, and when the request does not include the threat, the system sends the request to an application server at the gateway.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods of designing and implementing service policies in a telecommunications network. The policy management system includes interfaces operable to receive different subscriber information, an execution framework which includes policies which can be dynamically customized using one or more custom execution blocks, wherein the policies can receive the subscriber information through the interfaces and execute each policy based on the subscriber information. The method enables a network operator to dynamically update policies using customizable execution blocks and thereby change services associated with a particular policy as well as change the input factors (subscriber location, profile, etc.) available to that policy.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an optimization framework that optimizes the amount of information persisted in a policy session using rule introspection. In one embodiment, the optimization framework receives a message, where the message includes an attribute, and the attribute includes an attribute name and an attribute value. The optimization framework consults a mapping table to determine persistence behavior associated with the attribute name. The optimization framework persists the attribute in a rule field cache, according to the persistence behavior. In one embodiment, the persistence behavior includes a persistence type, a persistence mode, and/or custom persistence logic, which specify how the attribute should be persisted. In one embodiment, the optimization framework also provides for performing rule introspection and rule evaluation of decision rules.
