Abstract
A method for communication session management by a session controller is described. Usage data associated with a video communication session is received for data stream handlers of a first network topology, which handle data streams of the video communication session at a first time. The first network topology includes a plurality of client devices and at least a first media server. A second network topology is determined based on the usage data to handle the data streams when a network parameter and/or an application parameter reaches a corresponding update threshold. Data stream handlers of the second network topology include at least a second media server. The data stream handlers of the second network topology are configured to handle the data streams at a second time, including instructing the first media server to offload at least some of the data streams to the second media server.
