Abstract:
Techniques are described herein for facilitating a connection between a cloud networking platform and a unified communication system, where the cloud networking platform hosts communication services including real-time communications for client devices, and the unified communication system hosts communication services including real-time communications for on-prem devices that are associated with the unified communication system. Events associated with the cloud networking platform are monitored at the unified communication system, via a cloud connector device of the unified communication system, where events are associated with users who are registered with client devices and on-prem devices, and the events include real-time communications. A notification is provided to one or more client devices registered to a first user in response to an on-prem device also registered to the first user receiving a real-time communication request from a device of another user.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an endpoint elicits a pattern of STUN responses to identify security devices located on a call path. The endpoint then uses address information from the identified security devices to establish an efficient media flow with a remote endpoint. The endpoint can optimize the number of network devices and network paths that process the endpoint's keepalive message. Additionally, the endpoint may request custom inactivity timeouts with each of the identified security devices for reducing bandwidth consumed by keepalive traffic.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a reservation proxy monitors for received connectivity check messages or beginning-of-media-flow indication messages. When either type of message is observed, the reservation proxy requests resource allocation for a media flow associated with the received message. The amount of resource allocation requested may be coordinated by exchanging messages with a call controller or policy server for one of the endpoints of the media flow, or the amount of resource allocation may be identified within the received message.
Abstract:
Techniques are described herein for generating and maintaining locus information pertaining to real-time communication sessions between participants, where the locus information includes a plurality of nodes, and each node represents one or more client devices associated with a single participant. Engagement occurs in a real-time communication session between client devices of two or more participants. During the real-time communication session, a switch and/or sharing is facilitated of an audio component and/or a video component between a first communication device associated with a first node for a first participant and a second communication device associated with the first node for the first participant.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for directing conferences to on-premises media agents and cloud-based media agents. A centralized controller and a plurality of cloud-based media agents are disposed within a cloud or other remote or virtual network, and a plurality of on-premises media agents are provided on-premises. The centralized controller manages the directing and forwarding of conferences and is in communication with the cloud-based media agents and the on-premises media agents.

Abstract:
A conference controller receives access requests to access a conference session from respective callers. Responsive to the requests, the controller sends a conference identifier (ID) and respective agent discovery information to each of the callers. Each caller discovers an appropriate respective media agent based on the respective agent discovery information and sends a join request including the conference ID to that media agent. In turn, the media agents send requests for configuration information to the controller. Responsive to the requests from the media agents, the controller provides configuration information to the media agents that the media agents use to form a media connection with each other for the conference session through which the callers exchange media packets.
Abstract:
Techniques are described herein for storing event stream information pertaining to communication sessions between clients maintained by a cloud networking platform, where the event stream information for each client includes information in relation to communication services participated in by clients, and the communication services include hosting of real-time communications between two or more clients. A graph is generated that identifies participants, at respective clients, involved in a real-time communication session, where each participant in a real-time communication session is represented as a node in the graph. In response to at least two participants requesting to join the real-time communication session, the real-time communication session between the at least two participants is hosted via the clients of the at least two participants.
