Abstract:
A method for executing a video conference is provided that includes receiving one or more audio streams at (26) associated with a video conference (12) from one or more end points (12) and determining an active speaker associated with one of the end points (12). Audio information is associated with the active speaker may be received at one or more of media switches. One or more video streams may be suppressed except for a selected video stream associated with the active speaker, the selected video stream propagating to one or more of the media switches during the video conference. The selected video stream may be replicated such that it may be communicated to one or more of the end points associated with a selected one of the media switches (26).

Abstract:
Authenticating an endpoint using a STUN server includes facilitating a communication session between a first endpoint and a second endpoint over a network. A challenge request is sent to the second endpoint. The challenge request attempts to authenticate the second endpoint and includes an identification. The identification is associated with an expected response identification. A response to the challenge request is received from the second endpoint. The response has an actual response identification. The received response is verified to establish whether the second endpoint is legitimate. The second endpoint is legitimate if the actual response identification includes the expected response identification.

Abstract:
A method for tracing communications includes receiving trace criteria from a first remote element and determining whether a call signaling message matches the trace criteria. The method includes attaching a trace tag to the call signaling message, if the call signaling message matches the trace criteria. The method further includes transmitting the call signaling message to a second remote element.
