Method, apparatus, system and computer program for implementing a cloud-based session border gateway

摘要

A system and method for implementing distributed virtual-resource-based (cloud-based) session border gateway (SBG) functions are presented. Because no dedicated physical resources need to be committed for implementation of the SBG features and functions, as in traditional border gateway functions implementations, the invention has significant cost, resource allocation, integration, and operational advantages over traditional methods. In addition, new features and functions can be easily developed and integrated with the Cloud-Based SBG (CB-SBG) implementations very cost-effectively.
