Technical terms and technical features related to the technical terms and technical features shown in fig. 4 and related embodiments are the same as or similar to those of the technical terms and technical features shown in fig. 1 to 3 and related embodiments, and for the explanation and description of the technical terms and technical features related to the technical terms and technical features shown in fig. 4 and related embodiments, reference may be made to the above explanation of the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 3 and related embodiments, and no further description is provided here.

Fig. 5 shows a flowchart of a voice soft-switch service method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 5, the voice soft-switch service method includes the following steps S501-S505:

in step S501, the grid server determines a task to be executed, where the task to be executed includes one or more of the following elements: task content, task type, execution time requirement and execution target voice soft switch node information;

in step S502, the sidecar service node sends a task pull request to the grid server;

in step S503, in response to receiving a task pull request from a sidecar service node, the mesh server sends a target execution task corresponding to a voice soft switch node associated with the sidecar service node to the sidecar service node, where the target execution task includes one or more of the following elements: task content, task type, and execution time requirements;

in step S504, the sidecar service node executes the target execution task in response to receiving the target execution task; reporting a corresponding execution result to the grid server in response to detecting that the target execution task is executed completely, wherein the execution result comprises execution result data and an execution state of the target execution task;

in step S505, the grid server receives the execution result of the target execution task reported by the sidecar service node, and performs preset processing on the execution result.

As mentioned above, in the voice soft switch request link, as the service increases, the number of soft switch instances increases rapidly, and the soft switch network structure becomes increasingly complex. In the prior art, the monitoring and control of the soft switch service are usually performed by remote detection through a server by means of an exposed http interface or an sip protocol, the routing service of the soft switch also needs to make a request in a centralized system to obtain routing data and then initiate a call, the processing mode is too dependent on the central service, once the central service is unavailable, the monitoring and control of the soft switch service is invalid, and due to the fact that the soft switch deployment is a network structure, if all soft switch nodes initiate requests to the same center, obvious request delay is generated, and problems of inaccurate data statistics and overlong call connection duration are caused. Therefore, a solution suitable for a soft switch network, which is separated from a central service and can effectively, timely and accurately monitor and control the soft switch service is needed.

In view of the foregoing drawbacks, in this embodiment, a method for voice soft switch service is provided, where in a voice soft switch service grid system, a sidecar service node is deployed for each voice soft switch node, so that the sidecar service node can replace the voice soft switch node to implement task execution and corresponding data transmission.
