Abstract: A method of detecting proximity between a media proxy and a client uses a proximity probe to query a plurality of media proxies, forcing the media proxies to respond to a proximity server. The proximity server uses an algorithm to determine which media proxy is closest to the client based on the responses. In an alternate embodiment, the same sorts of proximity probes may be used to determine if two media endpoints have a direct connection such that they may bypass a media proxy.

Abstract translation: 检测媒体代理和客户端之间的接近度的方法使用邻近探测来查询多个媒体代理，迫使媒体代理对邻近服务器做出响应。 邻近服务器使用算法根据响应确定哪个媒体代理最接近客户端。 在替代实施例中，可以使用相同类型的邻近探测来确定两个媒体端点是否具有直接连接，使得它们可以绕过媒体代理。
