Abstract: A method and program product for handling communications with stations in communications systems, especially digital telecommunications systems, such as for VoIP telephony. Requests are received for communicating with communications stations in the communications system. Each request is forwarded to a respective communications system station, which returns an indication of an intended response. Depending upon whether the intended response is appropriate, the proposed response may be forwarded to the requester. Otherwise, if the intended response is determined inappropriate, an indication is returned to the communications system station that the intended response is inappropriate.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods that generate and test network traffic are disclosed. The exemplary method may include transmitting one or more requests to generate network testing traffic to one or more endpoints, generating network testing traffic from one or more endpoints, and collecting network testing traffic data. Additional aspects of the method may also include transmitting one or more requests to receive network testing traffic to one or more endpoints and receiving network testing traffic by one or more endpoints that received the request to receive network traffic. The devices, systems and methods may provide additional security measures, operational controls and other aspects as discussed later herein.
