METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MEASUREMENT-BASED CALL ADMISSION CONTROL IN A MEDIA GATEWAY

摘要

Methods and systems for measurement-based call admission control in a media gateway are disclosed. A request for establishing a new voice-­over-IP (VoIP) call for sending and receiving voice over IP packets in a media gateway is received. The request indicates a required bandwidth for the new call. Bandwidth utilization of at least one Internet protocol (IP) network interface for sending and receiving voice over IP packets in the media gateway is determined. The media gateway determines whether to admit the new VoIP call based on the determined requested bandwidth for the new call and the determined bandwidth utilization for at least one of the IP network interfaces.
