  • Routing key interpreter
    Patent number: 7822045
    Abstract: A method of providing a routing key interpreter for a signalling gateway, the method comprising the steps of generating an input file comprising a plurality of input expressions and a plurality of routing keys corresponding to the input expression, supplying the input file to a lexical analyser generator to generate a lexical analyser, and implementing the routing key interpreter using the lexical analyser.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 26, 2010
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Pierre Garnero, Jean-Christophe Cimino, Stephane Barbier, Didier Desiderio, Francois Brepson
  • Methods and apparatus for providing signalling gateways with multi-network support
    Patent number: 7496106
    Abstract: Gateway apparatus is described for interconnecting at least first and second signalling networks with an application server process via a third network, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of signalling gateways, with at least one signalling gateway coupled to each signalling network; and a proxy element for transferring signalling messages between the signalling gateways and the application server process via the third network. The first and second signalling networks may be separate signalling system 7 (SS7) networks and the third network may be an internet protocol network.

  • Methods and apparatus for controlling signalling gateways
    Publication number: 20050047401
    Abstract: A method is described for controlling a signalling gateway interconnecting a signalling network with a plurality of remote processes in one or more second processing entities, said method comprising the step of determining a remote process as a hash function of global title information contained within a signalling message. In preferred embodiments, the hash function is a CRC-32c cyclic redundancy check function.
