System and method for providing a network discovery service platform

A method for operating a network discovery service platform comprising:

• at a multi-tenant media communication platform system that includes a plurality of media communication micro-services including at least one signaling micro-service, and micro-service configuration for a plurality of entities configured for use of the platform system, the at least one signaling micro-service providing a network discovery service:
• enrolling an entity in the platform system by setting entity configuration for use of the signaling micro-service by the entity;
• processing a signaling micro-service request according to the entity configuration for the entity, the signaling micro-service request being a request for use of the signaling micro-service on behalf of the entity;
• accounting for the use of the signaling micro-service on behalf of the entity,
• wherein the platform system includes at least one signaling micro-service API resource for the entity, and
• wherein use of the signaling micro-service comprises:
• determining one of a STUN process and a TURN process for performing signaling negotiation to establish a communication stream;
• in a case where the STUN process is determined, servicing a network discovery session by performing STUN signaling negotiation to establish the communication stream;
• in a case where the TURN process is determined, servicing a network discovery session by performing TURN signaling negotiation to establish the communication stream.
