Abstract

A multimedia software bridge (104) which enables enterprise-class voice, Web, and video teleconferencing. The multimedia software bridge is an all software, distributed media server architecture that efficiently routes, bridges, and manages integrated voice, data, and video streams across multiple sites in real time (108). The multimedia software bridge includes media services, session control, content distribution, and any-device access layer (110).
