VOIP ROUTING BASED ON RTP SERVER-TO-SERVER ROUTING

摘要

A system and method of providing VoIP services by using multiple Real-time Transport Protocol servers (RTP) servers for transmitting VoIP data between user endpoints. The RTP servers are selected based on the network addresses of the respective endpoints according to the network topology. Traffic mirroring is established among the selected RTP servers. Each RTP server is responsible for transmitting the VoIP data representing the video/audio signals received at its associated endpoint to another RTP server which then relays the VoIP data to another endpoint. Further, routing optimization can be performed to select a network route between the selected RTP servers for RTP data transmission.

1. A computer implemented method of providing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication over a network, said method comprising:
responsive to a request sent from a caller device for communicating with a callee device in real-time, identifying a first server coupled to said network based on a network address associated with the caller device; responsive to said request, identifying a second server coupled to said network based on a network address associated with the callee device; and initiating transmission of data streams between said first server and said second server in a mirrored manner according to a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), wherein said data streams represent voice and/or image signals detected at said caller device and said callee device.
