Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting IP route failure using a request-reply protocol, such as address resolution protocol (ARP), and for dynamically re-routing VoIP sessions in a VoIP device in response to failure of an IP route are disclosed. A plurality of IP routes are established between a first VoIP device and a second VoIP device. VoIP sessions are assigned to the IP routes. ARP is used to detect a failure of an IP route. In response to detecting a failure of at least one IP route, VoIP sessions are rerouted from the failed IP route to an alternate IP route.

Abstract: Methods and systems for measurement-based call admission control in a media gateway are disclosed. A request for establishing a new voice-over-IP (VoIP) call for sending and receiving voice over IP packets in a media gateway is received. The request indicates a required bandwidth for the new call. Bandwidth utilization of at least one Internet protocol (IP) network interface for sending and receiving voice over IP packets in the media gateway is determined. The media gateway determines whether to admit the new VoIP call based on the determined requested bandwidth for the new call and the determined bandwidth utilization for at least one of the IP network interfaces.

Abstract: A process for ameliorating the effects of tibial dyschondroplasia while maintaining weight gain in poultry is disclosed as are a supplemented poultry feed and a feed supplement concentrate. The process contemplates feeding the bird with a poultry feed that contains 35 to 350 micrograms of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol per kilogram of feed. The supplement feed is used in the above process, whereas a feed supplement concentrate comprises a comestible diluent containing about 0.05 to about 100 mg of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol per gram of concentrate.
