1. A method of relaying packets in a network for a communication event, the method comprising:

  • receiving a request from a relay client to bind a channel to a peer for the communication event;

    creating requirements for the channel to relay the packets for a software defined networking (SDN) controller, based on the received channel bind request;

    sending the created requirements to the SDN controller, effective to enable the SDN controller to configure one or more SDN switches to relay the packets in the communication event without requiring participation of a relay server to relay the packets; and

    sending a response to the relay client indicating the result of the channel bind request.
