System and method for identifying idle resources in communication endpoints

A system comprising:

• a microprocessor;
• and
• a computer readable medium, coupled with the microprocessor and comprising microprocessor readable and executable instructions that program the microprocessor to:
• receive a request to establish a communication session between a first communication endpoint and a second communication endpoint;
• determine that the request to establish the communication session requires an application to be inserted into the communication session between the first communication endpoint and the second communication endpoint;
• select a first processing resource in a first idle communication endpoint based on an idleness factor of the first processing resource;
• and
• send the application to the first idle communication endpoint, wherein the application in the first idle communication endpoint is inserted into the communication session between the first communication endpoint and the second communication endpoint.

A communication endpoint comprising:

• a microprocessor;
• and
• a computer readable medium, coupled with the microprocessor and comprising microprocessor readable and executable instructions that program the microprocessor to:
• establishes a first communication between a first communication endpoint and a second communication endpoint;
• sends a broadcast message to a plurality of communication endpoints;
• receives a response to the broadcast message from a third communication endpoint, wherein the response indicates that the third communication endpoint meets an idleness level;
• and
• establishing a second communication session with the third communication endpoint based on the idleness level.
