7. An article of manufacture, comprising:
a computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to;
determine a load on a first node and a load on a second node;
factor the load for at least one of the first node and the second node into a session initiation protocol Q-value; and
direct a transmitting node to relay information through one of the first node and the second node based on the load factor. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A session initiation protocol device, comprising:
-
a network adaptor coupled to a network;
a session initiation protocol load module to receive session initiation protocol load information from session initiation protocol entities on the network through the network adaptor; and
a calculation module to provide load information for at least one of the session initiation protocol entities to a querying entity through the network adaptor. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A location service, comprising:
-
a data storage device to contain a cross reference to session initiation protocol entities coupled to a network and a load factor associated with session initiation protocol entities;
a network adaptor coupled to the network; and
a processor coupled to the data storage device and the network adaptor. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. A session initiation protocol load balancing system, comprising:
-
a load broker coupled to a network to gather load information from session initiation protocol entities coupled to the network and calculate a load factor for those session initiation protocol entities; and
a location service to maintain a cross reference to addresses for the session initiation protocol entities coupled to the network and associate the addresses to the load factors obtained from the load broker for those session initiation protocol entities. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
