Abstract: Methods and systems for processing inbound fax messages in an efficient and scalable manner are provided. According to one embodiment, an inbound fax call is received by an Internet fax system. The fax call has a source address, a destination address and a fax signal. The Internet fax system is coupled to a circuit-switched network and a packet-switched network and includes multiple fax processing resources having different configurations, features, capabilities or capacities. One or more desired fax protocol technical call processing capabilities are determined for processing the fax signal based on one or more of the source address, the destination address, the type of network through which the fax call was received and a service provider through which the fax call was received. Then, a fax processing resource that has the desired fax protocol technical processing capabilities is dynamically selected to translate the fax signal into a digital representation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing outbound fax messages in an efficient and scalable manner are provided. According to one embodiment, a request to deliver a fax message is received by an Internet fax system. Source files associated with the request and representing at least a portion of content to be included as part of the fax message are stored to a shared storage area accessible by multiple imaging systems and multiple fax processing resources. A load score is calculated for each imaging system based on one or more of a processor load and a memory load. An imaging system is selected, based on the load scores, to convert the source files into a digital representation suitable for faxing. The source files are converted by associating the digital representation with an outbound fax job. The fax message is delivered by submitting the outbound fax job to one of the fax modems.
