Abstract

See full text

A Voice-over-IP (VOIP) system includes a plurality of multi control units (MCUs), in which a first MCU hosts a VOIP session. A method for recommending an MCU to host the VOIP session includes receiving MCU status associated with performance of each of the first MCU and a second MCU included in the VOIP system. The method further includes determining, based on the first and the second MCU status, that hosting the VOIP session on the second MCU can improve a VOIP system metric. According to the method, a recommendation is communicated to transfer hosting the VOIP session to the second MCU.
