Abstract
A softswitch, an abbreviated form of ' software switch' , is a generic term for
any open application program interface (API) software that is used to bridge a
traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Voice Over Internet
Protocol (VoIP), by linking PSTN to IP (Internet Protocol) networks and
managing traffic that contains a mixture of voice, fax, data and video.
A softswitch separates call control functions of a phone call from the media
gateway (transport layer). Softswitches are able to process signaling for all
types of packet protocols. Softswitch is a software-based switching platform
based on open systems as against traditional proprietary hardware-based
switches. Softswitch is also called media gateway controller, call agent and
gatekeeper.
