1. A method comprising:
- identifying a first network controller corresponding to a first media communications client;
identifying a second network controller corresponding to a second media communications client;
determining whether the first and second network controller coincide; and
if the first and second network controller coincide, then establishing a direct media communications connection between the first and the second client.

Abstract
Media routes may be optimized in network communications, such a radio telephony communications networks. In one embodiment, the description includes identifying a first network controller corresponding to a first media communications client, identifying a second network controller corresponding to a second media communications client, determining whether the first and second network controller coincide, and if the first and second network controller coincide, then establishing a direct media communications connection between the first and the second client.

10. A machine-readable medium having instructions which when executed by a machine cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying a first network controller corresponding to a first media communications client;
identifying a second network controller corresponding to a second media communications client;
determining whether the first and second network controller are the same; and
if the first and second network controller are the same, then sending a command to the network controller to establish a direct media communications connection between the first and the second client. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A switching center comprising:
-
a first interface to a first network controller corresponding to a first media communications client;
a second interface to a second network controller corresponding to a second media communications client; and
a call server to determine whether the first and second network controller coincide and if the first and second network controller coincide, then sending a command to establish a direct media communications connection between the first and the second client. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A network controller comprising:
-
a first interface to a first media communications client;
a second interface to a switching center to carry media communications connections between the first media communications client and a second media communications client; and
a media gateway for communicating media between the first and second clients;
wherein the network controller establishes a direct media communications connection between the first and the second client if the first and second media communications clients are both coupled to the network controller. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
