11. A network entity comprising: one or more processing circuits operable as a signaling circuit and configured to: receive a signaling message, wherein the signaling message comprises one of a text-based signaling message and an object-oriented based signaling message comprising serialized object classes of an object oriented programming language; responsive to the signaling message being a text-based signaling message, convert the signaling message to an object-oriented based signaling message; responsive to the signaling message being an object-oriented based signaling message, process the signaling message without parsing the signaling message; and transmit the object-oriented based signaling message from the first network entity in the chain to a second network entity in the chain causing the second network entity to process the object-oriented based signaling message without parsing the object-oriented based signaling message.

The entity of claim 11 : wherein the one or more processing circuits comprise a transmission circuit configured to: serialize the object classes of the object oriented programming language for transmission to the second network entity; and responsive to the signaling message being the object-oriented based signaling message, de-serialize the serialized object classes of the object oriented programming language received at the first network entity.
