Abstract
A communications network element that includes a call processing software module that provides call processing and services and a session initiation protocol ('SIP') translator that translates SIP messages to instructions recognizable by the call processing software module and translates instructions from the call processing software module to SIP messages is provided. The SIP translator includes a SIP dialog module that receives SIP messages from endpoints and creates SIP dialog objects that represent an SIP endpoint; a SIP task module that coordinates the SIP translator events and exchange of messages; and a translator dialog module that translates SIP messages and call processing software module instructions and creates translator dialog objects. Methods for translating SIP and call processing software module instructions are also provided. Methods for dynamically allocating gateway channels to couple SIP endpoints and legacy telephones are also provided.
