Automatic conversion method for porting telecommunications applications from the TCP / IP network to the OSI-CO network and module used in said method.

摘要

P The invention relates to an address conversion method for porting an APP telecommunication application from the TCP / IP network to the OSI-CO network as well as an address conversion module used in this method. In known manner, access to the networks is authorized via a "socket" interface (SOC) for the TCP / IP network and an "XTI" interface for the OSI-CO network. Remarkably the calls (SC) of the "socket" interface are, as well as a plurality of system calls (SY), initially oriented, at the time of the link editing phase before obtaining from the executable, to a module (W) for automatic address conversion of the library type. This module (W) then performs the conversion of the addresses specific to the TCP / IP network into addresses of the OSI-CO network and allows the transition from the TCP / IP protocol to the OSI-CO protocol. After conversion, the calls are transmitted to the "XTI" interface and can be used directly in the OSI-CO network. Only calls intended for the TCP / IP network are processed, all other calls (NT) are forwarded to the system. /P
