Abstract
A media session is established between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, by transmitting the following messages from the first endpoint in parallel: to the second endpoint, a message indicating a first server network address of a media relay server available to the first endpoint and comprising a unique session identifier; to the media relay server, an activation request comprising the unique session identifier. This activates the session identifier by causing it to be associated at the media relay server with a source address conveyed by the activation request. Once the session identifier has been activated, a media packet received from the second endpoint at the first server network address that comprises the unique session identifier is relayed from the media relay server to the source address for receiving by the first endpoint.
