Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for improving transmission of voice packets over a network are provided. The systems and methods include a few central internet data centers (IDCs) which include a routing controller and an access controller. The system also includes a number of edge IDCs. Each edge IDC includes a last mile optimizer and a relay server. The last mile optimizer operates along with an application located on the users' devices and the access controller in the central IDCs to identify the best edge server for the particular device to connect to. The edge servers continually monitor pathway performance once the call is in progress. If an error is detected, then the server may automatically transition to back-up pathways rapidly to minimize call performance disruption.
