Priority-based, dynamic optimization of utilized bandwidth

摘要

Methods, devices, and systems are provided for performing priority-based codec conversions. Such conversions may implemented on calls sharing a link having limited bandwidth and may also be implemented after the call has been established but before the call has been terminated. The mechanisms provided herein maximize per-user call completion /quality and overall utilization of network bandwidth by dynamically adjusting encoding algorithms and transmission characteristics of calls using the constrained link.
