Abstract
A STUN message is received at a router device in a network from a client device in the network along a network path. The STUN message is evaluated for information that indicates to the router device to modify media that is subsequently sent along the network path. If the evaluating indicates that the router device is to modify the media, the media is modified in accordance with information in the STUN message that indicates attributes of the network.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- at a router device in a network, receiving a Session Traversal Utilities for Network Address Translators (STUN) message from a client device in the network along a network path;
- evaluating the STUN message for information that indicates to the router device to modify media that is subsequently sent along the network path;
- and
- if the evaluating indicates that the router device is to modify the media, modifying the media in accordance with information in the STUN message that indicates attributes of the network.
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of ports;
- a memory unit;
- and
- a processor coupled to the ports and the memory unit and configured to:
- receive a Session Traversal Utilities for Network Address Translators (STUN) message from a client device in the network along a network path;
- evaluate the STUN message for information that instructs the processor to modify media that is subsequently sent along the network path;
- and
- modify the media in accordance with information in the STUN message that indicates attributes of the network.
One or more computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed operable to:
- receive a Session Traversal Utilities for Network Address Translators (STUN) message from a client device in the network along a network path;
- evaluate the STUN message for information that instructs the processor to modify media that is subsequently sent along the network path;
- and
- modify the media in accordance with information in the STUN message that indicates attributes of the network.
