Adaptive Allocation of Server Resources
First Claim
1. A service discovery server capable of dynamically allocating media server resources, comprising:
- a processor operably coupled to a memory;
a service discovery module stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor is configured to;
receive a media resource request from one of a plurality of microservices in a signaling server, the media resource request indicating that a target is not capable of browser-to-browser communications with a client; and
allocate at least one of a plurality of microservices in a media server in response to receipt of the media resource request such that the client is capable of engaging in communications with the target.

Abstract
A method of dynamically allocating media resources includes providing a plurality of microservices in a signaling server and receiving, by one of the microservices, a call message from a client capable of browser-to-browser communications. The call message includes an identifier specifying a target. The identifier is send by the microservice to a cache with a request for capability information of the target. The cache is configured to retrieve the capability information of the target using the identifier. The microservice receives the capability information of the target from the cache. The microservice sends a media resource request to a service directory server coupled to a plurality of media servers when the capability information of the target indicates that the target is not capable of browser-to-browser communications, and initiates browser-to-browser communications between the client and the target when the capability information of the target indicates the target is capable of browser-to-browser communications.

6. A method of dynamically allocating media server resources, comprising:
-
providing a plurality of microservices in a signaling server; receiving, by a first one of the microservices, a call message from a client capable of browser-to-browser communications, wherein the call message includes an identifier specifying a target; sending, by the first one of the microservices, the identifier to a cache with a request for capability information of the target, wherein the cache is configured to retrieve the capability information of the target using the identifier; receiving, by the first one of the microservices, the capability information of the target from the cache in response to the request for the capability information; sending, by the first one of the microservices, a media resource request to a service directory server operably coupled to a plurality of media servers when the capability information of the target indicates that the target is not capable of browser-to-browser communications; and initiating, by the first one of the microservices, browser-to-browser communications between the client and the target when the capability information of the target indicates the target is capable of browser-to-browser communications. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of dynamically allocating media server resources, comprising:
-
providing a pool of microservices in a signaling server; receiving, by a first one of the microservices, a call message from a client, wherein the call message includes a client identifier and a target identifier; sending, by the first one of the microservices, the client identifier and the target identifier to a cache with a request for capability information of a client corresponding to the client identifier and for capability information of a target corresponding to the target identifier; receiving, by the first one of the microservices, the capability information of the client and the capability information of the target from the cache in response to the request; and sending, by the first one of the microservices, a media resource request to a service directory server operably coupled to a plurality of media servers when the capability information of the client indicates that the client is capable of browser-to-browser communications and the capability information of the target indicates that the target is not capable of browser-to-browser communications. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
