20060233155 - Server load balancing using ip option field approach to identify route to selected server: A router for routing data from a client through load-balancing nodes to a selected load-balanced server among a plurality of servers in a network involves: receiving, at a last load balancing node associated with a selected server among the plurality of servers, a first packet of a server reply to...

20060233154 - Server to network signaling method for rapid switching between anycast multicast sources: Described embodiments of the present invention use a simplified signaling mechanism in a server to signal the status of the individual multicast source streams....

20060233160 - Call system, proxy dial server apparatus and proxy dial method for use therewith, and program thereof: The present invention is intended to provide a call system which can authenticate a call initiation request from a proxy dial server apparatus with a caller number specified by the proxy dial server apparatus without adding special processing. In the configuration according to the present invention, proxy dial server apparatus...

20060233159 - Method and apparatus for enabling dynamic protocol interworking resolution with diverse endpoints: A method and apparatus for enabling an edge component, e.g., a Border Element (BE), on a packet network to be endpoint aware is disclosed. Information contained in the BE regarding the endpoint enables it to consult stored protocol configurations that facilitate the dynamic resolution of interworking issues and adjust for...

20060233158 - Method and apparatus for enabling peer-to-peer communication between endpoints on a per call basis: A method and apparatus for enabling a user to signal to the network that a call to be initiated or a call that is in progress needs to occur in a peer-to-peer relationship with the terminating endpoint. The network will then remove itself from the call signaling and media path...

20060233157 - System and method of voice transmission to mobile data networks: The present invention permits the real-time voice input of a mobile phone handset to be sent to a networked device via mobile data networks, without the involvement of broadband wireless networks such as Bluetooth, WI-FI or WIMAX. Currently, much work has been done to enable VoIP communication via the WI-FI...

20060233161 - Multi-level hierarchical radio-frequency communication system: Portable measuring devices which communicate by low power transceivers through a communication controller with a printer device collect weight and size data on articles to be shipped. The collected weight and size data are combined with origin and destination data, and labels are printed bearing pertinent shipping and routing information...

20060233162 - Network and method for universal voice over internet protocol telephonic communications: The protocol of a proprietary outgoing VOIP signal, developed by a first proprietary VOIP telephone, is changed so that this outgoing VOIP signal, in the new protocol, can be received by a second proprietary VOIP telephone, the operation of which is based on the new protocol. This mode of operation...

20060233163 - Real time transport protocol (rtp) processing component: A communication method can include the step of establishing a communication session between two endpoints based upon the real-time transport protocol (RTP). During the communication session, discrete packets containing digitally encoded audio can be exchanged between the two endpoints resulting in a continuous audio flow being established in real-time between...
