Publication number: 20190373049Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to virtual zones for Open Systems Interconnection (“OSI”) communication model layers 4-7 services in a cloud computing system. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a hardware resource and a virtual zone. The virtual zone can include a virtual network function (“VNF”) that is executable by the hardware resource. The VNF can support a service that operates within one of layers 4-7 of the OSI communication model. A computing system can detect new subscribers to the service within the virtual zone. The computing system also can determine that a capacity constraint exists within the virtual zone as a result of the new subscribers. The computing system also can home the new subscribers to the further virtual zone so that the further VNF can provide the service to the new subscribers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Anisa Parikh, Neela R.

Patent number: 7804818Abstract: A method for maintaining signaling history of application servers to be invoked and applications to be provided in a VoIP network. In one illustrative embodiment, the signaling history of application servers that have been invoked and/or applications that have been processed is inserted into a message header by each application server in the network in turn as applications are processed. These headers are then carried in the message traffic between the SB, CCE and AS's in order to maintain a record of these invocations/processing. The SB may illustratively refer to these messages in determining the order in which applications are to be processed as well as to determine when all services have been processed. In another illustrative embodiment, this signaling history may illustratively be carried in SIP VIA headers.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Neela R. Atluri, Frederick Murray Burg, Martin Christopher Dolly, Lauraine M. Schalk-Pizza

Patent number: 7606905Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying and prioritizing applications and application servers in a Voice over IP network is disclosed. In a first embodiment, elements of signaling information are extracted from a call and are mapped to parameters associated with the call. These mapped parameters are then used by a service broker in a VoIP network to identify one or more application servers adapted to process the values of the respective parameter. The service broker may illustratively identify the application servers by a pointer to permit flexible reassignment of processing of a given parameter. The matched pointer/parameter combinations are then mapped to a precedence index. Then, according to this precedence index, the aforementioned pointers are mapped to specific addresses of application servers and the elements of signaling information are forwarded to those addresses for processing of applications.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Neela R.
