Abstract
The present application details methods and systems for improving the reliability of a connection during a communication session on a network device. In one or more embodiments, the network device maps to and connects with multiple datacenters. For example, the network device connects with a primary datacenter and participates in a communication session via a primary media bridge connection while jointly being connected with a secondary datacenter. In addition, the network device can switch from the primary media bridge connection to a secondary media bridge connection if a fault is detected on the primary media bridge connection.
Claims20
A method for communication, comprising:
- mapping a network device to a primary datacenter;
- receiving a primary address associated with the primary datacenter;
- storing the primary address;
- mapping the network device to a secondary datacenter while maintaining the mapping to the primary datacenter;
- receiving a secondary address associated with the secondary datacenter;
- and
- storing the secondary address while retaining the primary address.
A method for communication on a voice-over internet protocol network, comprising:
- mapping a first voice-over internet protocol device to a primary datacenter and a secondary datacenter;
- receiving a primary address from the primary datacenter;
- receiving a secondary address from the secondary datacenter;
- requesting a primary media bridge connection from the primary datacenter, wherein the primary media bridge connection connects the first voice-over internet protocol device to a second voice-over internet protocol device;
- establishing the primary media bridge connection between the first voice-over internet protocol device and the second voice-over internet protocol device;
- requesting a secondary media bridge connection from the secondary datacenter, wherein the secondary media bridge connection connects the first voice-over internet protocol device to the second voice-over internet protocol device;
- detecting a fault in the primary media bridge connection;
- and
- switching from the primary media bridge connection to the secondary media bridge connection upon detecting a fault in the primary media bridge connection.
A system for voice-over internet protocol communication, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- map a first voice-over internet protocol device to a primary datacenter and a secondary datacenter;
- receive a primary address from the primary datacenter;
- receive a secondary address from the secondary datacenter;
- request a primary media bridge connection from the primary datacenter, wherein the primary media bridge connection connects the first voice-over internet protocol device to a second voice-over internet protocol device;
- establish the primary media bridge connection between the first voice-over internet protocol device and the second voice-over internet protocol device;
- request a secondary media bridge connection from the secondary datacenter, wherein the secondary media bridge connection connects the first voice-over internet protocol device to the second voice-over internet protocol device;
- detect a fault in the primary media bridge connection;
- and
- switch from the primary media bridge connection to the secondary media bridge connection upon detecting a fault in the primary media bridge connection.
