Abstract: An application server system is provided having a core engine connecting one or more protocol providers to one or more applications. In a preferred embodiment, the one or more applications run on a respective one or more virtual machines having their own execution threads. A thread pool may be used to spawn instances of applications or scripts. Preferably, the core engine, the protocol providers, and each of the one or more virtual machines run in separate AppDomains. In another embodiment, a visual designer is provided preferably having XML conversion capability and interactive debug capability.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for proxying communications between devices on an IP telephony network. In a preferred embodiment, an appliance comprising a network server and proxy server software includes filtering rules which can be modified to enable proxied communication between an IP phone on a first data network, such as, for example, the internet, and a call processing server located on a second data network. In another embodiment, an appliance comprises a proxy server that proxies call-processing and signaling communications between an authenticated IP phone on a first data network and a call processing server located on a second data network. In another embodiment, the appliance relays voice traffic between IP phones. In another embodiment, the proxy server software operates in a secure mode to permit encryption and decryption of voice and control communications.

Abstract: An application server system is provided having a core engine connecting one or more protocol providers to one or more applications, preferably including an SCCP proxy. In a preferred embodiment, the one or more applications run on a respective one or more virtual machines having their own execution threads. A thread pool may be used to spawn instances of applications or scripts. Preferably, the core engine, the protocol providers, and each of the one or more virtual machines run in separate AppDomains. In another embodiment, a visual designer is provided preferably having XML conversion capability and interactive debug capability.
