Streaming media multiplexing with a media proxy

A media multiplexer for communicating from one device to a plurality of receiving devices using a media proxy, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
• receive a request at the media multiplexer for a call by the one device;
• allocate communication channels on the media proxy, wherein a communication channel is allocated for each of the plurality of receiving devices;
• receive media from the one device by the media multiplexer;
• send the media received to each of the plurality of receiving devices using the allocated communication channels.

A method for communicating from one device to a plurality of receiving devices using a media proxy, comprising:

• receiving a request for a one-to-many call from a caller device to a plurality of callee devices;
• creating a caller port by the media multiplexer to receive media from the caller device;
• creating a receiving port to receive media from the plurality of callee devices;
• allocating a port by the media multiplexer on a media proxy for sending media to the caller device;
• allocating a port by the media multiplexer on the media proxy for each of the plurality of callee devices that directs media to the media multiplexer;
• forwarding the request to each of the plurality of callee devices using a unique port for each callee device;
• answering the call by each of the plurality of callee devices using the port for receiving media on;
• allocating a port by the media multiplexer on a media proxy for each callee answer, wherein the port allocated is used to forward media to the associated callee device;
• allocating a port by the media multiplexer on the media proxy, wherein the port allocated directs caller media to the media multiplexer;
• and
• notifying the caller device of the port on the media proxy to send media to the media multiplexer.
