    Patent number: 6516355
    Abstract: A “generic” switch messaging protocol is disclosed for message handling and switch supervision in conjunction with a number of switching engines, each of which is conversant with the generic messaging protocol, each switching engine also being conversant with a specific switch messaging protocol. An object oriented development system is also disclosed utilizing a “generic” switch messaging protocol and a plurality of switching engines, each of which is conversant with the generic messaging protocol and each of which is conversant with a specific switch messaging protocol. Certain switch messages are not “genericized” because their functionality is different from the functionality of other switches. These messages generally include initialization and maintenance messages which are hardware specific and have no counterpart in another switch from a different vendor.
