ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided that propose allocating bandwidth in a distributed network. According to a decentralized mode of operation, bandwidth between network devices is cooperatively shared and managed, allowing one or more call processing modules to selectively and intelligently place calls or perform activities. A single authoritative mode of operation for a given communication link is also provided, wherein one or more network devices may consult an authoritative member to determine if sufficient bandwidth is available to support an activity. Various triggering events or conditions may facilitate the transition from one mode to another. Audits or accountings are conducted, wherein devices may update or synchronize information stored in a control table related to system bandwidth.
