The present invention provides methods and systems for providing high availability voice applications. More specifically, one or more applications may share an extension of a switch among each other. This allows each application to receive data from the switch without occupying additional extensions of the switch. A first application sharing the extension with a second application may be provided as a backup to the second application in case the second application fails. Thus, the second application does not represent a single point of failure for the overall system.

High availability for voice enabled applications

A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing network link bonding and management is presented. At least one physical link is established between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. A logical link is established at an application server level between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, the logical link including said at least one physical link. At least one physical link is used to provide communications between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. Messages are distributed among the physical links and the received messages are ordered into a single stream for the higher layer application.
