Media Resource Broker Means for locating, and possibly establishing sessions to, media servers with appropriate resources at the request of clients. By appropriate, we mean the characteristics of a given media server required or desired for handling a given request. The expectation is such a means would build upon existing SIP, SNMP, and other protocol facilities. Such a means may or may not be an integral part of the item 3 deliverables above. This deliverable is an operational protocol that may rely on management protocols such as SNMP. We are neither creating a new management protocol nor a new provisioning protocol. |
