Abstract
A method for communication includes, during a multi-leg call conducted in a circuit-switched network, which operates in accordance with a first communication protocol that manages calls among subscribers by exchanging discrete events among elements of the circuit-switched network, receiving from the circuit-switched network a sequence of the events related to the multi-leg call. Based on the sequence of the events, multiple emulated communication sessions are generated in a packet-switched network that operates in accordance with a second communication protocol. Using the multiple emulated sessions, a service platform in the packet-switched network is caused to provide a communication service to the multi-leg call conducted in the circuit-switched network.
