  • Methods for handling a connection status
    Patent number: 10021603
    Abstract: A technique for handling a status of a connection for a call is provided. The connection has a signal path and a media path towards a terminating side. The signal path includes nodes at least some of which are to be informed of the status by a signal packet that is forwarded towards the terminating side of the connection on the signal path. One node inserts a media resource in the media path of the connection. The media resource provides media for announcing the status of the connection at the terminating side of the connection. The node includes in the signal packet, which signals the status to one or more of the nodes that are further towards the terminating side, a suppression indicator controlling suppression of media resource insertion at the one or more nodes. The node transmits the signal packet towards the terminating side on the signal path.
