ABSTRACT:
Performing conferencing without requiring communication using a specific connection port. A software module receives a function call from a conferencing application. The function call may include high-level instructions to perform a basic conferencing function, such as the communication of data from a specified buffer area. The software module then performs all of the details necessary in order to establish and maintain a connection with a conferencing server (or with one or more other participants in the case of peer-to-peer conferencing). While the conferencing application may be configured to optionally perform teleconferencing using a particular conferencing protocol and a particular conferencing connection port without the use of the software module, the software module may also be optionally used to establish, maintain, and exchanging conferencing information over an entirely different port when, for example, the usual conferencing connection port is not available.
