International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 47, 714 25, 714 38

Abstract:

An instrumentation service is described that uses dye injection and filtering in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) application server environment. The instrumentation service can provide a flexible mechanism for selectively adding diagnostic code to the SIP application server and the various applications running on it. It can allow flexible selection of locations in the server and application code, at which instrumentation code can be added. The process of adding diagnostic code can be deferred to the time of running the server at the deployment site. The instrumentation service further allows flexible selection of diagnostic actions, which can be executed at selected locations. In various embodiments, the execution of diagnostic code can be dynamically enabled or disabled while the server is running. Also, the behavior of diagnostic code executed at such locations can be dynamically changed while the server is running.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709228, 709202, 707661

Abstract:

A SIP server can be deployed in a two-tier architecture, including an engine tier for processing of SIP communications and a state tier for maintaining the state associated with these communications. The state tier can include RAM-based replicas that provide data to the engines. Some of the SIP session state can be moved to the database in order to reduce the memory requirements of the state tier. Upon determining that a transaction boundary has been reached where the session state is steady, the state replica can save the data to the database. A hint can be received from the engine tier by the state replica indicating that the state data is ready to be saved. Subsequently, the data can be removed from the state tier by nulling out the bytes of actual data, while preserving the primary key, locking and timer information so as not to impact latency.

11/127913

Inventors:

Karl Mutch - Menlo Park CA, US
Paul Devine - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370401000, 709217000

Abstract:

An apparatus for performing XML processing distributed across one or more network entities and a terminal comprised of a mobile device entity. A memory stores a transformed representation of XML information. The network entity and terminal communications are mediated by a proxy tasked with offloading XML processing other operations from the network entities or terminals participating in communications exchanges and/or XML manipulations. Advantages of the invention include the ability for network operators to optimize communications techniques based on XML Documents, XML Fragments, communication protocol components, and other forms of XML interchange and exchange.

International Classification:

H04M 11/10
H04W 4/12

US Classification:

455413, 455466

Abstract:

A system and method for delivering messages and/or multimedia content using a short message services (SMS) telecommunication network. Mobile devices are coupled to the telecommunication network. A sender may distribute the message using a mobile device to a recipient on another telecommunication network. In one embodiment, a message is requested using a unique pairing identifier and the message is streamed to the recipient. The message may include a multimedia content, and may be based on a demographic trait of the recipient.
