Abstract
A virtual transport server apparatus in a telecommunication network having a packet network and a circuit network with a telephonic switching device, a circuit signaling interface for terminating a signaling link between the virtual transport server apparatus and the telephonic switching device coupled to the circuit network and a packet signaling interface for terminating a packet link between the virtual transport server apparatus and the packet network. A circuit receiver is coupled to a processor and the circuit signaling interface for receiving call origination information having a circuit identification code from the telephonic switching device at the circuit receiver and a packet transmitter coupled to the processor and the packet signaling interface for transmitting the call origination information from the virtual transport server apparatus to a packet circuit gateway in response to the processor processing the call origination information from the circuit receiver. Additionally, a packet receiver is coupled to the processor and the packet signaling interface for receiving virtual circuit information and in response to the processor processing the received virtual circuit …
