Abstract
Various media stream processing systems and methods are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a media stream processing method is provided that includes the brokering of a number of communications channels between a communications network and a packet switched network with a number of media stream processors. Each of the communications channels is specified by a profile having a number of channel parameters. The method also includes storing each of the profiles in a standby media stream processor when each of the media stream processors is operational. Finally, the method includes brokering respective ones of the communications channels originally brokered by one of the media stream processors with the standby media stream processor upon a failure of the one of the media stream processors.
