Abstract
A method, translating apparatus, apparatus comprising a computer readable medium, and system for establishing and terminating an end-to-end connection in a mixed protocol communication network includes a translation function that communicates with a first device using a first communication protocol and a second device using a second communication protocol. In order to establish an end-to-end connection, the translation function receives a first data message from the first device, establishes a connection with the second device, and transmits a second data message to the second device. In order to terminate an end-to-end connection, the translation function receives a reset message from the first device, terminates the connection with the second device, and transmits a reset confirmation message to the first device.
