Patent ID: 7657641

Claim:
A method for managing media gateway control (megaco) protocols by using a network adaptor, comprising the steps of: a) requesting an installation of a megaco protocol package of low level network protocols to a network adaptor; b) determining whether a megaco protocol exists in a network protocol table; wherein the network protocol table includes company information as a data field in the network protocol table for requesting a specific megaco protocol in a case that a protocol standard is not defined; c) adding a new protocol in the network protocol table in case that the megaco protocol does not exist in the network protocol table; d) searching a specific megaco protocol package in a megaco protocol package list by using a specific package ID and connecting the specific megaco protocol package in case that the megaco protocol exists in the network protocol table, wherein said step d) includes the steps of: d1) extracting the specific package ID from the network protocol table and searching the megaco protocol package in the megaco protocol package list by using the specific package ID, d2) determining whether the searched megaco protocol package is the specific megaco protocol package, and d3) proceeding the process to said step e) in case that the searched megaco protocol package is not the specific megaco protocol package and connecting the specific megaco protocol package in case that the searched megaco protocol package is the specific megaco protocol package; and e) installing the megaco protocol package and the specific megaco protocol package and managing the megaco protocol.
