An apparatus, method and system are provided for an intermediate reliability protocol for network message transmission and reception, and are particularly suited for real time applications, such as internet telephony. The preferred system embodiment includes a plurality of servers, connected to each other over a plurality of networks, such as over two ethernets. A first server, when operative, includes program instructions to transmit a message. A second server, which is coupled to the first server over the networks, when operative, includes program instructions to receive the message. Under typical circumstances, the received message will be delivered locally on the second server, to a designated local process. Under other circumstances, the second server will resynchronize to the received message, dropping stored messages and avoiding further delay in message delivery. For such resynchronization, when the received message has a sequence number which is out of sequence, the second server has further instructions, first, to determine whether a reset bit is set and, when the reset bit is set, to resynchronize to the received message; second, to determine whether the first server is inactive and, when the first server is inactive, to resynchronize to the received message; and third, to determine whether a predetermined number of transmit reject messages have been transmitted to the first server and, when the predetermined number of transmit reject messages have been transmitted to the first server, to resynchronizc to the received message.

An arrangement for providing voice dialing service to wireless subscribers when they are not being served by their home mobile switch, and service node. When a voice dialing request from a roamer is detected, the voice dialing data file of the roamer is requested by a broadcast message from the home service node of the roamer. The home service node responds to the broadcast request by transmitting the voice dialing data file to the requesting service node. The requesting service node retains the voice dialing data file as long as there are sufficiently frequent requests (e. g. , once per day), for voice dialing service from the roamer. Advantageously, this arrangement allows voice dialing service to be provided to roamers as well as to mobile stations in their home area.
