Abstract: A method of facilitating a multi-participant communication session with an efficient use of network bandwidth and processing resources is described. The processing resources are made available to the session participants via a switching fabric and composites of less active session participants can be used to minimize the bandwidth utilization between a media server and endpoints.

Abstract: A request to establish a communication session is received at a cloud communication application. The request is from a first enterprise communication device to establish a communication session with a second communication device that is typically also within the enterprise. In response to receiving the request to initiate the communication session, the cloud communication application directs the first enterprise communication device to use an enterprise media server for sending a media stream of the first communication session. This allows the cloud communication application to provide one or more cloud services for the media stream via a communication channel that has been previously established between the cloud communication application and the enterprise media server. This results in the media stream being sent within the enterprise, thus, providing enhanced security. In addition, less bandwidth is required because the media streams do not have to be sent to and from the cloud.

Abstract: A concept of Session Description Protocol (SDP) templates and a concept of template modifiers for precise control of media types, codecs and attributes offered by a media server are described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. Applications can solicit offers from media servers that precisely meet the requirements of each session, using one or more media control protocols. The media control protocols may enable applications to reserve media resources, invoke specific functions, respond to events during session initiation, and provide session modification.

Abstract: Communication events often produce a significant volume and variety of data. While such data is often useful as a teaching or configuration tool or as a source of troubleshooting information, such information often results in “information overload.” By providing a “highlight reel,” communication data comprising only relevant information, which may be further limited to a specific number of duration of events, allows for key data to be identified for presentation and avoid the need to further process, store, or otherwise maintain irrelevant or less relevant data.
