a failover engine configured to:
upon detection of a mid-dialog Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy failure, generate either a SIP RE-INVITE message or a SIP UPDATE message, the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message including routing information for a new communication path between the first turret system and the second turret system, and
communicate either the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message to either the first turret system or the second turret system to invite the first turret system or the second turret system, respectively, to initiate a connection to the resource via the new communication path.
2. The SIP user agent of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the SIP user agents is configured to validate the state change notification.
3. The SIP user agent of claim 1 , wherein the resource is at least one of a telephone resource, a fax resource, a voicemail system resource, a speakerphone resource, a push-to-talk resource, a video resource, or a data communications resource.
4. The SIP user agent of claim 1 , further comprising:
a timer configured to detect a SIP keep alive timeout, wherein the failover engine is further configured to transmit either the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message to a backup proxy configured to request a line card to update routing information.
5. The SIP user agent of claim 1 , further comprising:
a SIP message generator configured to generate a second SIP message;
a fingerprint generator configured to generate a fingerprint based on at least one field of the second SIP message; and
a packet transmitter configured to transmit the second SIP message over a SIP proxy server configured to validate the fingerprint and detect based on the fingerprint that a source of the second SIP message is affiliated with the license.
6. A method for sharing a resource, comprising:
subscribing, by a first turret system, to a second turret system to share a resource associated with the second turret system;
receiving a state change notification corresponding to the resource, from the second turret system;
upon detection of a mid-dialog Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy failure, generating, by a SIP user agent, either a SIP RE-INVITE message or a SIP UPDATE message, the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message including routing information for a new communication path between the first turret system and the second turret system; and
communicating, by the SIP user agent, either the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message to either the first turret system or the second turret system to invite the first turret system or the second turret system, respectively, to initiate a connection to the resource via the new communication path.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
validating the state change notification.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
detecting a SIP keep alive timeout; and
transmitting either the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message to a backup proxy configured to request a line card to update routing information.
9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
generating a second SIP message;
generating a fingerprint based on at least one field of the second SIP message; and
transmitting the second SIP message over a SIP proxy server configured to validate the fingerprint and detect based on the fingerprint that a source of the second SIP message is affiliated with the license.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the resource is at least one of a telephone resource, a fax resource, a voicemail system resource, a speakerphone resource, a push-to-talk resource, a video resource, or a data communications resource.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform:
subscribing, by a first turret system, to a second turret system to share a resource associated with the second turret system;
receiving a state change notification corresponding to the resource, from the second turret system;
upon detection of a mid-dialog Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy failure, generating, by a SIP user agent, either a SIP RE-INVITE message or a SIP UPDATE message, the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message including routing information for a new communication path between the first turret system and the second turret system; and
communicating, by the SIP user agent, either the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message to either the first turret system or the second turret system to invite the first turret system or the second turret system, respectively, to initiate a connection to the resource via the new communication path.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the sequences of instructions further include instructions which, when executed by the computer system, cause the computer system to perform:
validating the state change notification.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the sequences of instructions further include instructions which, when executed by the computer system, cause the computer system to perform:
detecting a SIP keep alive timeout; and
transmitting either the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message to a backup proxy configured to request a line card to update routing information.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the sequences of instructions further include instructions which, when executed by the computer system, cause the computer system to perform:
generating a second SIP message;
generating a fingerprint based on at least one field of the second SIP message;
transmitting the second SIP message over a SIP proxy server configured to validate the fingerprint; and
detecting based on the fingerprint that a source of the second SIP message is affiliated with the license.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the resource is at least one of a telephone resource, a fax resource, a voicemail system resource, a speakerphone resource, a push-to-talk resource, a video resource, or a data communications resource.
16. A system for sharing a resource, comprising:
means for subscribing, by a first turret system, to a second turret system to share a resource associated with the second turret system;
means for receiving a state change notification corresponding to the resource, from the second turret system;
means for, upon detection of a mid-dialog Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy failure, generating, by a SIP user agent, either a SIP RE-INVITE message or a SIP UPDATE message, the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message including routing information for a new communication path between the first turret system and the second turret system; and
means for communicating, by the SIP user agent, either the SIP RE-INVITE message or the SIP UPDATE message to the first turret system or the second turret system to invite the first turret system or the second turret system, respectively, to initiate a connection to the resource via the new communication path.
17. The system of claim 16 , further comprising:
means for validating the state change notification.
