Abstract: A system and method are disclosed herein for account-based domain name system (Account-Based DNS) routing in an Internet Protocol (IP) service network. An IP device is provided for generating SIP or IP service requests. A configuration database that contains an association between a customer account identifier and an account-based DNS address is used by a provisioning service for assigning an account-based DNS address to the IP service request. A proxy server is configured to receive the IP service request. The proxy server is in communication with a server database comprising an association between the customer account identifier, the type of SIP service request and a plurality of feature servers, wherein the proxy server dynamically assigns a forwarding account-based DNS address to the SIP service requests based on the association in the server database so that the SIP service request is forwarded to the assigned feature server.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed herein for managing conference bridge communication sessions. The system and method involves receiving a plurality of calls containing user media from users into a conference bridge, then connecting the plurality of calls via a load balancer to a plurality of conference servers on a network. A master broker dynamically selects a master conference server from among the plurality of conference servers to which the calls are connected. Once the master conference server is selected, the master broker directs all other conference servers to bridge the user media for the calls that are connected to the master conference server. The master conference server receives the user media from each of the connected conference servers. The master conference server is able to organize and mix the various user media and return this mixed media to each of the connected conference servers and thereby back to each user.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed herein for an automated progressive dialer system. The system comprises maintaining a callee database for a calling campaign. A Presence registrar is maintains a list of call center agents, wherein the list comprises the agent's current state, account information and other metrics. An agent progressive dialer (APD) indicates an agent's current state to the Presence registrar and maintains an agent's open line to connect with a connected outbound call to a callee. One or more callees are selected to call based upon the agent's current state. Outbound calls are placed to the selected callee using a callee progressive dialer (CPD). Upon successfully connecting a call to a callee, the Presence registrar provides an available agent with an open line to receive the call. The CPD then bridges the successfully connected callee outbound call with the available agent's open line on the APD.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for two-tiered load balancing on a hosted voice-over Internet protocol (VoIP) private branch exchange (PBX). The system includes a plurality of client devices, at least one device load balancer, and at least one call load balancer. The device load balancer identifies a device group to which each client device belongs; and a cluster of computing resources for processing calls for the device group. The cluster is assigned to the device group based on prescribed conditions. In response to a communications request, call load balancers in communication with the device load balancers dynamically determine if predefined conditions are currently being met within an identified cluster of computing resources. If the predefined conditions are currently being met, then the communications request for a primary client device associated with the request is established via one of a plurality of server nodes within the cluster of computing resources.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed herein for indicating the status of a service queue and routing communications. The system maintains a server having at least a first service queue and second service queue. Each service queue comprises at least one or more individual agent device extensions. As calls come into the system, they are first handled by the first service queue. A server monitors performance parameters of the one or more individual agent extensions on a group communications line servicing the second service queue. A display device is provided for displaying the status of each agent in the second service queue based on the monitored performance parameters. The operator is able to use a switch board for transferring communications from the first service queue to the second service queue based on the indicated status of the second service queue.
