Patent ID: 8493968

Claim:
A device-implemented method comprising: obtaining, from a remote device on a network, profile information identifying pairings of loads and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) devices on the network; accessing a database storing compatibility/interoperability information indicative of compatibility of different load-SIP device pairings and interoperability between the different load-SIP device pairings; identifying, based on results of comparing the profile information and the compatibility/interoperability information, a potential conflict with respect to at least one of the compatibility or the interoperability of one or more of the identified load-SIP device pairings; determining, based on the identified potential conflict, a user associated with the one or more of the identified load-SIP device pairings; generating a notification to the user indicating an allowed number of SIP communication sessions by which the potential conflict is to be resolved by the user before a fix is to be applied; downloading SIP logs from another remote device that logs a number of SIP communication sessions; determining, based on the SIP logs, when the allowed number of SIP communication sessions are exhausted; and applying, based on the exhaustion of the allowed number of SIP communication sessions, the fix to the one or more of the identified load-SIP device pairings over the network to resolve the potential conflict.
