Supporting enhanced media communications using a packet-based communication link

摘要

A method for supporting communications includes establishing a packet-based audio communication link with a remote device and informing a local computing device of the audio communication link. A message requesting identification of enhanced media capabilities associated with the remote device is received from the local computing device and tunneled in the audio communication link to the remote device. A tunneled response in the audio communication link is received from the remote device and forwarded to the local computing device. The response identifies the enhanced media capabilities associated with the remote device.

1. A method for supporting communications comprising:
establishing, before a communication link between a first computing device and a second computing device is established, a packet-based communication link between a first telephony device and a second telephony device, wherein the first telephony device is coupled to the first computing device and the second telephony device is coupled to the second computing device; informing the first computing device coupled to the first telephony device of the packet-based communication link; receiving a message from the first computing device, the message requesting identification of enhanced media capabilities associated with the second computing device; tunneling the message in the packet-based communication link to the second telephony device; receiving a tunneled response in the packet-based communication link from the second telephony device, the response identifying the enhanced media capabilities associated with the second computing device; and forwarding the response to the first computing device.
