A telephony system includes a switch coupled to a call agent and a legacy application, and further coupled to resources, some controlled by the call agent and others controlled by the legacy application. The switch processes connection requests from the call agent and the legacy application, and, using a resource emulator as an intermediary, establishes connections between call agent controlled resources and legacy application controlled resources.

System and method for integrated telephony switching

A system and method for reducing data transfer latency and network-induced jitter in computer networks that can handle the transfer of large object data types such as multimedia objects without requiring a large local object store. The system includes a cache memory system coupled between a data consumer and a data provider. The cache memory system includes a jitter buffer and a local object store, each of which is configured to store at least a portion of a requested data object. The cache memory system satisfies the low-latency and low-jitter data feed requirements of the data consumer by delivering initial bytes of the requested data object from the local object store to the data consumer while pre-fetching remaining object data bytes from the data provider using the jitter buffer. The cache memory system then, at least at some times, fetches additional remaining object data bytes from the data provider using the jitter buffer and delivers the additional remaining object data bytes to the data consumer. The system can be used to retrieve, store, and deliver both real-time and non-real-time multimedia objects.

Cache for large-object real-time latency elimination

A telephony system includes a hybrid switch coupled to a packet network and a TDM network. The switch establishes a communication session using one of these networks and then switches the communication session to the other one of these networks in response to stored metrics, user request, or other criteria.
