Abstract
Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for re-routing a media-based conference session. A server computing device determines a condition associated with a first conference session between a plurality of end point devices, each connected to the server via an external media stream and each connected from the server to a first multipoint control unit via a first internal media stream. The condition indicates that a new multipoint control unit is required. The server identifies a second multipoint control unit available to host a second conference session between the plurality of end point devices. The server disconnects the first internal streams from the first multipoint control unit while the external streams remain connected. The server connects each of the plurality of devices from the server to the second multipoint control unit via a second internal stream, and establishes the second conference session on the second multipoint control unit.
