Abstract
A system and method to provide voice or video over IP without a centralized control infrastructure is enabled by an overlay network of software devices. Such a device is comprised of VoIP server, PBX, PBX database, and a control module.

Two main functions provide by the serverless infrastructure are: VoIP call setup and tear-down, and accounting for a service provider.
Claims8
A method to enable distributed control infrastructure for voice or video over IP services, comprising:
- a plurality of software devices called grassnodes, forming a P2P overlay;
- and an IP-based communication network;
- wherein each said grassnode is connected to other grassnodes through said IP network;
- each said grassnode is further comprised of a VoIP server module, a PBX module, a PBX database, and a grasshoc module;
- a distributed search algorithm is implemented among said grassnodes through which a grassnode is able to locate the IP address of a grassnode containing needed control information, for the purpose of providing said services.
