Summary:Methods of managing media server resources are disclosed. In an embodiment, a media server resource broker (140) receives a request for a set of media server resources from an application server (120). The media server resource broker determines the service request should be handled by a first media server (160) based on the type of request and the availability of the first media server and provides an address of the first media server to the application server. In another embodiment, an IP node (210) provides a service request. An application server (120) receives the service request and sends a request for media server resources to a media server resource broker (140). The media server resource broker determines that the request should be handled by a first media server (160). The media server resource broker queries the first media server to obtain an IP address and port number for use in establishing a call between the IP node and the first media server. The media server resource broker then provides a signal to the IP Node so that it can establish the call with the appropriate port on the media server.
