Method for initiating conferencing on a network by sending messages to determine node capabilities

摘要

Conferencing communication is established to enable formation of a collaborative working environment, by means of a server capable of receiving a request for establishment of a conferencing communication. The request contains information identifying requirements for successful establishment of conferencing communication, and the server enquires whether the or each participating station is capable of meeting these requirements, before inviting those participants with the necessary capabilities to join the call.
