Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for VoIP communication with VoIP-enabled devices via a network address translator (NAT). A set of proxy servers is configured to relay communications through mapped paths of the NAT during operations including VoIP sessions through or with the plurality of VoIP-enabled devices and during other operations not involving VoIP sessions through or with the plurality of VoIP-enabled devices. The mapped paths are susceptible to being unmapped by the NAT if the mapped path is unused for a threshold duration of time. The proxy servers maintain the mapped paths through the NAT by prompting the VoIP-enabled devices to communicate data to the set of proxy servers. More specifically, a VoIP-enabled device is prompted to communicate data to the set of proxy servers, in response to the VoIP-enabled device not communicating with the set of proxy servers for a duration of time exceeding the threshold duration of time.

A method and system for operating a multitenancy telephony system including receiving a plurality of call requests associated with an application server; selecting a subset of the received call requests using a load balancer; assigning each selected call request to one of a plurality of resources creating, on the assigned resource, a call session for each selected call request; and coordinating the created call sessions resulting from the selected subset of the received call requests associated with the application server.

In one embodiment, a device in communication with a service provider network obtains first information regarding a first call leg of a media session associated with a first endpoint. The device also obtains second information regarding a second call leg of the media session associated with a second endpoint. Both of the first and second endpoints are anchored in the service provider network. The device makes a determination that the media session is being hairpinned, based on the first and second information. The device sends, based on the determination, an indication message using Session Traversal Utilities for Network Address Translators (STUN) along the first call leg that causes the first endpoint to begin sending a flow of media packets.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for implementing a registrar component or functionality in a telecommunications network. In one implementation, the registrar functionality is handled at a Session Border Controller (SBC) or Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal Manager (NTM) device of the network to alleviate an application server of the network from performing the registration function.

An integrated security system integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network having remote connectivity and access. The integrated security system delivers remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection and complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video or pictures and control home devices via a personal web portal or other client device. Camera management enables automatic configuration and management of cameras in the premise network. The camera management extends to remote control and monitoring from outside the firewall of the premise network to include routing of images or video from a streaming source device to a requesting client device.

A computing system includes a server within an enterprise, with the includes at least one processor to access a real-time media application to provide real-time communications (RTC) for peer-to-peer networking, and intercept APIs of the real-time media application so that a portion of the real-time media application is redirected away from said server. The redirected portion of the real-time media application includes provisioning information directed to a media server. A client device is associated with a branch within the enterprise and includes a processor to execute the redirected portion of the real-time media application, and receive alternative network connectivity options for the peer-to-peer networking from a network edge appliance associated with the branch within the enterprise. At least one media stream is established with the peer computing device via the network edge appliance based on the alternative network connectivity probing.

A server includes at least one processor configured to execute a media application to provide media streaming that includes at least one video stream and at least one overlay on the at least one video stream. A portion of the media streaming is redirected by providing a placeholder to indicate positioning geometry of the at least one video stream within a media window, with the placeholder to include the at least one overlay. The processor detects the placeholder and determines positioning geometry associated therewith. A color and an alpha blending factor of the at least one overlay is determined based on calculations involving different colors of the at least one underlay at different times.
