The invention discloses a method for implementing dual-homing, including: setting each one of any two core control equipment as a standby for each other, connecting a network entity belonging to one of the core control equipment with the two core control equipment through a primary link and a standby link respectively; setting the primary link connected with the core control equipment as activated, and setting the standby link connected with the core control equipment inactive; determining whether the core control equipment corresponding to the primary link is out of service, if the core control equipment corresponding to the primary link is out of service, activating the standby link; otherwise, continuously determining whether the core control equipment corresponding to the primary link is out of service. The invention also discloses another method for implementing dual-homing, by which the reliability of the network can be improved.

Method for implementing dual-homing

A method and a system for implementing backup based on session border controllers, including: a terminal device registers to a first soft switch via a first session border controller; the terminal device detects whether a failure concerning the first session border controller occurs. If a failure occurs, the terminal device registers to the first soft switch via a second session border controller; the first or the second session border controller detects whether a failure concerning the first soft switch occurs. If a failure occurs, the terminal device registers to the second soft switch. In addition, the invention further provides a corresponding system. With the present invention, media stream can pass through the NAT and firewall on the basis of adding session border controllers in the NGN network, and by implementing dual homing of the session border controller, paralyzing of the soft switches can be prevented, or a disaster tolerance mechanism for emergency communication can be provided, when burst disaster appears to the system.
