SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR SELECTING CODECS TO OPTIMIZE RESOURCE UTILIZATION

摘要

Embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products for selecting the codecs that each endpoint will use in a call in order to optimize the utilization of at least one internal resource of a network component. The network component receives a call invite from a first endpoint that identifies available codecs. The network component determines what codecs are available to the second endpoint and determines what codec pairing will have the least impact on at least one identified internal resource of the network component. The network component sends call set-up information to the first endpoint that identifies the selected codec or list of codecs for the first endpoint, and call set-up information to the second endpoint that identifies the selected codec or list of codecs for the second endpoint.

1. A method performed by a network component that facilitates a communication session set-up process among endpoints in a communication network, the method comprising:
receiving, by the network component, a call invite from a first endpoint directed towards a second endpoint, the call invite identifying a first plurality of codecs available at the first endpoint; and determining, by a codec selector of the network component, a codec pair based at least in part on a utilization of a network component resource, the codec pair comprising a first codec from among the first plurality of codecs and a second codec from among a second plurality of codecs identified as available at the second endpoint.
