RELIABILITY OF A CONNECTION DURING A COMMUNICATION SESSION ON A NETWORK DEVICE

摘要

The present application details methods and systems for improving the reliability of a connection during a communication session on a network device. In one or more embodiments, the network device maps to and connects with multiple datacenters. For example, the network device connects with a primary datacenter and participates in a communication session via a primary media bridge connection while jointly being connected with a secondary datacenter. In addition, the network device can switch from the primary media bridge connection to a secondary media bridge connection if a fault is detected on the primary media bridge connection.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a primary datacenter, a primary media bridge connection that provides a first communication path between a first network device and a second network device; establishing a communication session between the first network device and the second network device using the primary media bridge connection; and receiving, from a secondary datacenter, a secondary media bridge connection while maintaining the established communication session between the first network device and the second network device using the primary media bridge connection, wherein the secondary media bridge connection provides a second communication path between the first network device and the second network device.
