The present disclosure is directed to a method and system to forcibly unregister and/or prevent registration of a gateway and/or other endpoint in a network region in response to a survivable gatekeeper servicing the network region becoming active.

Method to block split phone and gateway registration

A first message is received at a primary container that is replicated by a secondary container. The first message is an initial message to initiate a first session. The first message is processed by an application in the primary container. At a point in time, the primary container is unavailable and the system and method detect that the primary container is unavailable. A second message is received. The second message is associated with the first session. The second message is modified by moving at least a portion of a header in the second message into a different header in the second message and adding an additional header to the second message in response to the primary container being unavailable.

High availability session reconstruction

The present invention provides a method and system for implementing feature interactions between an AIN-based service and a switch-based call-forwarding service. In the present invention, the switch-based call-forwarding generates an Off-Hook Delay (OHD) trigger. In response, the SSP suspends call processing and sends the forward-to number to the SCP. Based upon the SCP's determination of whether the forward-to number is for voicemail and other criteria such as time of day, day of the week, etc, the SCP determines whether the switch-based call-forward should be permitted or inhibited.

A method and system for connecting a wireline telephone to a wireline switch in a wireline telecommunications network having a plurality of remote terminals and wireline switches includes a processing platform having a database associated therewith. The processing platform is operative to receive identification of a subscriber in response to a call attempt and determine a preferred connection between the wireline telephone and one of the plurality of wireline switches based on predetermined data stored in the database and associated with the subscriber. The remote terminal connects the wireline telephone to one of the plurality of wireline switches based on the preferred connection as directed by the processing platform so as to complete the call attempt.
