Abstract
A system for managing network bandwidth, according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a configuration storage module and a call manager. The configuration storage module includes a supported codecs storage, codec lists, administrator settings storage and reservation storage list. The call manager includes an extension module, trunk module, location service engine, settings manager, bandwidth manager and media stream manager. The call manager receives an offer message for a call having one or more media types. The call manager uses information included in the offer message, along with information stored in the configuration storage module, to negotiate a call settings list with one or more other sites for connecting the call, and thereby manage bandwidth for the call.
