System and Method for Providing a Fate Sharing Identifier in a Network Environment
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- at a first call agent, receiving from a first endpoint, a first identifier associated with communication sessions involving the first endpoint;
receiving from a second call agent associated with a second endpoint, a second identifier associated with communication sessions involving the second endpoint;
generating a combined identifier associated with communication sessions involving both the first endpoint and the second endpoint, wherein the combined identifier is generated from a combination of the first identifier and the second identifier; and
reserving network resources associated with the communication sessions involving both the first endpoint and the second endpoint.

Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes, at a first call agent, receiving from a first endpoint, a first identifier associated with communication sessions involving the first endpoint. The method also includes receiving from a second call agent associated with a second endpoint, a second identifier associated with communication sessions involving the second endpoint. The method may also include generating a combined identifier associated with communication sessions involving both the first endpoint and the second endpoint. The combined identifier is generated from a combination of the first identifier and the second identifier. The method further includes reserving network resources associated with the communication sessions involving both the first endpoint and the second endpoint.
