Abstract
A method for providing a status to a plurality of devices in a distributed VoIP system includes circulating a first status data packet between each device in the first group of devices and circulating a second status data packet between each device in the second group of devices. One device in the first group of devices participates in circulating both the first status data packet and the second status data packet, while the other devices in the first group of devices circulate only the first status data packet. One device in the second group of devices participates in circulating both the first status data packet and the second status data packet, while the other devices in the second group of devices circulate only the second status data packet.
