Description

End-to-end signaling tracking method, system, softswitch and media gateway device

The present invention relates to network communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, system, softswitch and media gateway device for end-to-end signaling tracking. Background technique

Next Generation Network (NGN) is a service-driven network. Due to the rapid development of IP technology, traditional telecommunication networks will gradually become the edge of the packet backbone network. In order to support new multimedia commercial applications, traditional telecommunication networks will More and more open, and the introduction of many new features and physical components, NGN is the network structure that reflects this new network environment.

The NGN system adopts a comprehensive, open, and converged network architecture. The service and call control are completely separated, and the call control and bearer are completely separated, thereby achieving a relatively independent service system and making the service independent of the network.

The NGN system is based on a packet bearer network, and both signaling and media streams are carried on a packet switched network. The NGN network adopts a layered networking model, which is usually divided into four layers: service management, network control, core switching, and edge access. The Soft Switch is located at the network control layer, and the Media Gateway is located at the edge access layer.

At present, there are many network element devices in the NGN system, and the distribution is relatively wide. One call has to go through multiple network element devices. An existing network element device can only track the transmission and reception of its own signaling messages, and the call message cannot be coherent in different network element devices, and the tracking messages of each network element device cannot be concentrated, so that the user cannot provide the user with the tracking information. Intuitive tracking of the entire network, as long as there is a problem, because various devices are distributed in different regions, it is impossible to capture messages at the location of the device, so it is impossible to know in time which device signaling problem occurs, which makes the positioning very cumbersome.

The physical port of the device sends a notification request event response command including the verification success; otherwise, the tracking task on the signaling message corresponding to the reference identifier is ended, and a notification request event response command including the verification failure is sent to the physical port of the media gateway device. .

Step 522: After receiving the notification request event response command, the media gateway device continues to track the signaling message of the corresponding physical port if the verification succeeds; otherwise, ends the tracking of the signaling message of the corresponding physical port.

As shown in FIG. 5C, the process of setting a call identifier by the H.248 protocol in the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

Step 530: The softswitch device modifies the value of the call identifier in the protocol extension packet when the signaling message of the tracked physical port performs the call service, and sends the modified protocol extension to the physical port of all the media gateway devices through which the call service passes.
