摘要：In a telecommunications system (8) that comprises communications endpoints(14-15), communications resources (18-20), a communications server (10) that includes amedia manager (21), and a network (12) that interconnects them all, a first endpoint (14)provides the media manager with an offer of a connection to a second endpoint (15) thatspecifies attributes desired for the connection by the first endpoint. The media managerregisters the request and forwards it to the second endpoint. When the second endpointresponds with an acceptance of the connection that specifies attributes desired for theconnection by the second endpoint, the media manager compares the registered offer
with the received acceptance to determine any resources that are needed to bridge anydifferences between their attributes and to effect the connection. The media managerthen marshals any needed resources for the connection, sends a modified acceptance toany marshaled resource telling it the address of the second endpoint to connect to,sends a modified acceptance to the first endpoint that tells it the address of anymarshaled resource, or of the second endpoint in the absence of any marshaledresource, to connect to, and leaves it up to the endpoints and marshaled resources tointeract with the network to effect the connection through the network. The mediamanager can therefore provide centralized call control for substantially any network, andcan treat all networks generically and leave it up to the endpoints to deal with theparticulars of any specific network. Communications between multiple suchtelecommunications systems (8, 9) can also be effected thereby.
