Abstract
A telecommunications system includes a network (); a plurality of endpoints () operably coupled to the network; a gatekeeper and a database engine, typically located in a gatekeeper server (), for downloading database information such as a corporate directory, to the endpoints. The gatekeeper server and the endpoints further include load monitors () for monitoring device performance. If the load is higher than a threshold, the gatekeeper will not provide a requested database information. The endpoint then requests the information from another endpoint.
