Abstract

Systems and methods of redundancy for real time communications are disclosed. One such system includes a first device and a second device, where the first device includes a redundant tunneled services element (RTSE) and the second device includes a redundant tunnel services control function (RTSCF). The RTSCF is in communication with the RTSE and is operable to establish a redundant secure tunnel to the RTSE. The RTSE is operable to redundantly convey a first stream of media packets over the redundant secure tunnel to the RTSCF. The RTSCF is operable to redundantly convey a second stream of media packets over the redundant secure tunnel to the RTSE.
