Abstract:
A load balancer controls a cluster of media agents each configured to perform media packet processing operations in a conference session. The load balancer receives a Session Traversal Utilities for Network Address Translation/Translator (NAT) (STUN) request from a caller to establish media. The STUN request includes a conference identifier (ID) for the session. The load balancer determines an availability of each of the media agents in the cluster, selects a media agent for the caller based on the conference ID and the determined media agent availabilities, forwards the STUN request to the selected media agent, and routes media packets between the caller and the selected agent for the session.
