Abstract
A system and method for selecting a client gateway device to establish a path between client devices is provided. A method includes associating a first client gateway device of a first geographic region and a second client gateway device of a second geographic region with a first communication endpoint of a first client device, and associating a third client gateway device with a second client device, wherein the third client gateway device is a gateway of the first geographic region. The method also includes receiving a communication invitation directed to the first communication endpoint from the second client device via the third client gateway device, and responsive to receiving the communication invitation, selecting one of the first client gateway device or the second client gateway device. The method further includes establishing a communication path between the second client device and the first client device via the selected client gateway device and the third client gateway device.
