A system and method is provided for adjusting a traffic rate for a Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) session established between two network nodes at a per session level. Each MSRP session has a traffic rate for which MSRP messages are transmitted over the MSRP session. The traffic rate per session can be adjusted, and the adjusted traffic rate per session can be communicated to adjacent nodes.

Methods and systems for adjusting a traffic rate for a MSRP session

A method for control of real-time traffic entry of a managed packet network includes the step of receiving, from a border element processor, a first message indicative of a new active registration request associated with a client. The border element processor is one of a plurality of border element processors at an edge of a managed packet network controlling packets (e.g., relating to real-time multimedia traffic) entering the managed packet network. The method also includes the step of load balancing, by a load balancing engine, the new active registration request across the plurality of border element processors and assigning the client to a designated border element processor. A second message is generated in response to the new activation registration request. The second message includes a parameter identifying the designated border element processor assigned to the client.

Method and apparatus for controlling traffic entry in a managed packet network

Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for personal service integration on a network. A personal service monitors and stores user requests for services. The stored user requests are processed to determine usage patterns. The personal service processes the usage patterns to determine future requests and/or to determine how to fulfill a request. The personal service processes the request.

Personal service integration on a network

Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for controlling time-sensitive data in a packet-based network. Data associated with a call is received, and the data includes an identifier associated with the data, a data source, or one or more data destinations. The data is associated with a logical trunk group selected from a plurality of logical trunk groups each in communication with the one or more data destinations over a packet-based network. The logical trunk group is selected based in part on the identifier. Calls through the packet-based network are managed based in part on the associated logical trunk group.
