Abstract
The embodiments presented herein provide an automated process for provisioning a user in a communication system. A session manager, which can be a server in the communication system that provides call connection and routing, may receive registration request from communication device (e.g. a cellular telephone, an IP-enabled phone, etc.). The session manager may determine one or more characteristics about the communication device and/or determine a load on one or more other session managers in a cluster of session managers. Based on both the communication device characteristics and/or the loads on the two or more session managers, the session manager can determine a set of session managers, which may include a primary session manager and a secondary session manager, which can manage the user data for the communication device. This session manager set information may then be sent to the communication device and to other session managers in the cluster. The set of session managers may then manage the user data for the communication device.
