Abstract:
1. A convergent mediation system comprising: processing streams including an online processing stream for the online processing of data and an off-line processing stream for the off-line processing of the data, each of the processing streams comprising independent nodes structured to continue operating if an independent node in a processing stream fails, wherein at least the first independent node in the online processing stream is an online interface node adapted to receive the data from at least one of a communications network and a service delivery platform and send a response thereto; each of the processing streams comprising at least two of the independent nodes in sequence and a buffer between every two of the at least two independent nodes, wherein a buffer downstream of an independent node keeps a copy of an item of data until a corresponding item of data is successfully written in a buffer upstream of the independent node, and at least one of the buffers in the online processing streams including a dedicated memory area in a random access memory.
