  • Control channel discovery protocol
    Publication number: 20070220085
    Abstract: In a telecommunications/data network (10), IP control channels between out-of-band control plane entities are automatically created through discovery of information by state machines implementing an ICDP (IP Control channel Discovery Protocol). Control plane entities executing the protocol send address information in BootStrapMessages and optional GatewayMessages through their local network element to a far-end network element and wait for similar messages from the far-end network elements. When the information is received, control channels are created, if they do not already exist.
