Abstract

A system for implementing VoIP over a cloud-based network includes a first edge proxy server operatively connected to a plurality of target proxy servers to receive resource information from one or more of the target proxy servers. Each target proxy server is associated with the cloud-based network. A first endpoint is operatively connected to the first edge proxy server and is configured for voice communications with a second endpoint. The voice communications are facilitated by the first edge proxy server using the received resource information.

Claims

1. A system for implementing VoIP over a cloud-based network, the system comprising:

a first edge proxy server operatively connected to a plurality of target proxy servers to receive resource information from one or more of the target proxy servers, each target proxy server being associated with the cloud-based network; and

a first endpoint operatively connected to the first edge proxy server, the first endpoint being configured for voice communications with a second endpoint over the cloud-based network, wherein the voice communications are facilitated by the first edge proxy server using the received resource information.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first edge proxy server identifies network resources in the cloud-based network using the received resource information, the first edge proxy server facilitating voice communications between the first and second endpoints using the identified network resources.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the first edge proxy server communicates to the first endpoint information about the identified network resources.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the voice communications between the first and second endpoints are established using the identified network resources.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a second edge proxy server operatively connected to at least one of the plurality of target proxy servers; and

the second endpoint operatively connected to the second edge proxy server, wherein the voice communications are further facilitated by the second edge proxy server.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the first and second edge proxy servers identify network resources for the voice communications.

7. A method for establishing a VoIP over a cloud-based network, said method comprising the steps of:

receiving, by a first edge proxy server, resource information from one or more target proxy servers associated with a cloud-based network, wherein the first edge proxy server is registered with a first endpoint; and

based at least in part on the received resource information, facilitating, by the first edge proxy server, voice communications with a second endpoint over the cloud-based network.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

identifying, by the first edge proxy server, network resources in the cloud-based network using the received resource information, wherein the first edge proxy server facilitates voice communications between the first and second endpoints using the identified network resources.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

sending, by the first edge proxy server, information about the identified network resources to the first endpoint.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

based at least in part on the identified network resources, establishing voice communications between the first and second endpoints.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

receiving, at a second edge proxy server, resource information; and

facilitating, by the second edge proxy server, the voice communications, wherein the second edge proxy server is operatively connected to the second endpoint.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

identifying, by the first and second edge proxy servers, network resources for the voice communications.

13. The method of claim 7, further comprising monitoring a resource list.

14. The method of claim 7, further comprising relinquishing overloaded resources.

15. A computer-implemented method of establishing a VoIP over a cloud-based network, said method comprising the steps of:

receiving, by a first edge proxy server, resource information from one or more target proxy servers associated with a cloud-based network, wherein the first edge proxy server is registered with a first endpoint; and

based at least in part on the received resource information, facilitating, by the first edge proxy server, voice communications with a second endpoint over the cloud-based network.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

identifying, by the first edge proxy server, network resources in the cloud-based network using the received resource information, wherein the first edge proxy server facilitates voice communications between the first and second endpoints using the identified network resources.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

sending, by the first edge proxy server, information about the identified network resources to the first endpoint.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

based at least in part on the identified network resources, establishing voice communications between the first and second endpoints.

19. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

receiving, at a second edge proxy server, resource information, facilitating, by the second edge proxy server, the voice communications, wherein the second edge proxy server is operatively connected to the second endpoint.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising:

identifying, by the first and second edge proxy servers, network resources for the voice communications.

21. The method of claim 15, further comprising monitoring a resource list.

22. The method of claim 15, further comprising relinquishing overloaded resources.
