Methods and apparatus are disclosed for defining an optimized media path. In one exemplary method, a proxy session controller registers, for a plurality of realms, a plurality of Border Gateway Functions (BGFs) residing on a plurality of network nodes, with the registration including registering a preferred BGF colocated with a data network gateway on a single network node for a selected set of the realms. A request message is received from a user terminal, and if a realm associated with the request message is included in the selected set of realms, the controller assigns the preferred BGF to the user terminal to provide an optimized media path that includes the user terminal, the preferred BGF, and the data network gateway.
A method of defining an optimized media path, the method being implemented by a proxy session controller and comprising:
