1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a primary datacenter, a primary media bridge connection that provides a first communication path between a first network device and a second network device, wherein the first communication path excludes the primary datacenter;
establishing a communication session between the first network device and the second network device using the primary media bridge connection that excludes the primary datacenter; and
receiving, from a secondary datacenter, a secondary media bridge connection while maintaining the established communication session between the first network device and the second network device using the primary media bridge connection, wherein the secondary media bridge connection provides a second communication path between the first network device and the second network device.

Abstract
The present application details methods and systems for improving the reliability of a connection during a communication session on a network device. In one or more embodiments, the network device maps to and connects with multiple datacenters. For example, the network device connects with a primary datacenter and participates in a communication session via a primary media bridge connection while jointly being connected with a secondary datacenter. In addition, the network device can switch from the primary media bridge connection to a secondary media bridge connection if a fault is detected on the primary media bridge connection.

12. A method, comprising:
-
providing, from a primary datacenter and to a first network device, a primary media bridge connection that provides a first communication path between a first network device and a second network device, wherein the first communication path excludes the primary datacenter; establishing, using the primary media bridge connection, a communication session directly between the first network device and the second network device without routing through the primary datacenter; and providing, from a secondary datacenter to the first network device, a secondary media bridge connection while maintaining the established communication session between the first network device and the second network device using the primary media bridge connection, wherein the secondary media bridge connection provides a second communication path between the first network device and the second network device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to; provide, to a first network device, a primary media bridge connection that provides a first communication path between a first network device and a second network device, wherein the first communication path excludes a datacenter; establish a communication session between the first network device and the second network device using the primary media bridge connection that excludes the datacenter; and provide, to the first network device, a secondary media bridge connection while maintaining the established communication session between the first network device and the second network device using the primary media bridge connection, wherein the secondary media bridge connection provides a second communication path between the first network device and the second network device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
