Abstract
The present invention allows a network policy server or other centralized entity to provide arbitration for selecting media capabilities to use in a communication session between communication clients. In operation, the network policy server will directly or indirectly receive a first message in association with an attempt to establish a communication session from a first communication client. The first message will include the available media capabilities of the first communication client. The network policy server will apply appropriate policies for the first communication client, the network in general, or a combination thereof to select one or more of the first media capabilities to determine a second set of media capabilities, which are provided in response to the first message. This reduced set of media capabilities will ultimately be used to establish the communication session with the first communication client.
