Abstract

A method for communicating messages in a multiple communication protocol network is disclosed. A first message is received at a first signaling adapter. The first message is based on a first communication protocol. A second message is received at a second signaling adapter. The second message is based on a second communication protocol. The first message is converted from the first communication protocol to a generic protocol, and the second message is converted from the second communication protocol to the generic protocol. The first message and the second message are received at a signaling adapter interface. The first signaling adapter and the second signaling adapter are detachable from the signaling adapter interface. The first message and the second message are sent to a network component.
