Abstract
A system, apparatus and method for releasing sessions via network entities associated with the session, where the network entities include at least session endpoints and intermediary network entities. Network entities are subscribed to intermediary network entities serving as notifiers. Upon releasing the communication session at a first notifier, a session release notification is initiated from the first notifier to its respective subscriber. The session release notification is logically advanced towards a remote one of the session endpoints via the intermediary network entities. The communication session is terminated at each of the network entities receiving the session release notification.
