  • Session manager anti-looping
    Patent number: 9942330
    Abstract: Session Manager anti-looping creates a model that is an effective barrier to looping, efficiently identifying a loop condition by maintaining temporary individual call counters for header sets within temporal parameters and terminating the loop condition upon detection. The system provides an administrator with adjustable parameters for loop detection count and loop detection interval, thereby allowing protection against loop conditions, both inadvertent and intentional.

  • Method and apparatus for dynamic device pairing
    Patent number: 9591036
    Abstract: A communication system, method, and components are described. Specifically, a communication system that supports dynamic device pairing of communication devices is described. Such pairing is accomplished using a feature or pairing server, without requiring modification to associated communication endpoints. Moreover, sequenced applications can be applied for all communication endpoints when pairing is in effect.
