SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING NETWORK SERVICES BASED ON REAL-TIME AND HISTORICAL DATA

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating media communication sessions along a path established between endpoints over one or more networks, wherein each media communication session includes a transmission of one or more media data packets over the one or more networks. The systems and methods may include receiving a request from a first endpoint to initiate a media communication session. A system may, responsive to receiving the request, determine a configuration for the media communication session from among a set of potential configurations. The determined configuration may include a path involving one or more network elements configured to process and to transmit the media data packets, and the determination can be based on (i) a historical measurement and a real-time measurement of one or more parameters contributing to an expected quality of media communication, and (ii) a target quality of media communication.
