1. A system for providing a composite user agent for a plurality of devices in a user domain, the system comprising:
- a) an interface facilitating communications; and
b) a control system associated with the interface and adapted to;
i) represent the plurality of devices within the user domain as a single user agent to devices outside of the user domain;
ii) receive an incoming session message associated with initiating a media session;
iii) determine a media type for the session based on the incoming message;
iv) identify at least one of the plurality of devices supporting the media type; and
v) route the incoming session message to the at least one of the plurality of devices supporting the media type.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a composite user agent acting on behalf of a group of member user agents in a communication network. The composite user agent provides its group of member user agents with a specialized proxy function while representing the group to the network as a single user agent. To devices on the communication network, the composite user agent behaves and is viewed as a user agent. To the group of member user agents, the composite user agent behaves and is viewed as both a registrar and a proxy server.
