Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for providing a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call. In an embodiment, a load balancing processor receives a re-initiated HTTP request from a client processor upon detection that an initial call server is no longer active, and sends the re-initiated HTTP request to a second call server. The second server generates updated call resource information that identifies the second server as the new server resource for the call, and sends the updated call resource information over the IP network to the client processor. Subsequent HTTP requests from the client processor for sending and receiving signaling and media data for the call are received at the second server using the updated call resource information.
