The invention discloses a main and a standby switching
system of a
session initiation protocol gateway and a corresponding method, which relates to the
session initiation protocol gateway equipment in the
network communication field, in particular to the main and the standby switching
system and the accessible realization methods. The
system comprises a mainboard (10) and a standby board (20) which respectively comprise a main
network module and a standby
network module (11,21), a main SIP protocol module and a standby SIP protocol module (12, 22), a main control module and a standby control module (13,23), and a main HA module and a standby HA module (14,24). Between the main board and the standby board (10,20), a card interface is used for achieving the physical link
connectivity in the system, the main board and the standby board (10,20) has an independent
IP address and an
physical address and achieves the logic link
connectivity through socket communication. The invention is applicable to the
software synchronization of the gateway main and standby switching systems based on the SIP and also applicable to the
software synchronization of the gateway main and standby switching systems based on the other non-SIP.
