Abstract:

In some embodiments, methods for balancing SIP server load are provided. In these methods, a message is received and a session identifier and a resource identifier are extracted from the message. The methods search for one or more sessions associated with the resource identifier and, if there is at least one session that is associated with the resource identifier, the methods further determine whether one of the at least one session is associated with the session identifier. If one of the at least one session is determined to be associated with the session identifier, the methods obtain a server identifier associated with the one of the at least one session and forward the message to a server associated with the server identifier.
