ROUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A TELECONFERENCING SYSTEM

摘要

In a networked teleconferencing system, a receiver (30) with a number of receiving stations (50, 52, 54) receives calls from a number of different calling stations (10, 12, 14). To get appropriate bandwidth, two calls are connected at the same time from the calling station to one of the receiving stations. The receiver (30) includes an access switch (36) that uses information from the calling station to pair calls together so that two calls from one calling station are routed to the same receiving station, regardless of the order in which the calls are received by the access switch (36).
