A New Distributed Conference System Architecture using Extended CCMP in SIP Environment

CCMP(centralized conferencing manipulation protocol) enables adding and removing conference participants, changing their roles, adding and removing media streams in conference system. In this paper, by using extended CCMP, a new distributed conference system architecture which can be used to multiple servers distributed conference system in SIP(session initiation protocol) environment has been presented. In this study, according to increasing number of participants, a new extended CCMP architecture which can distribute conference system loads to multiple servers dynamically to decrease loads of servers has been designed. This extended CCMP architecture also can add dynamically new servers from the prepared servers pool. Furthermore, new conference information data format which can represent extended CCMP has been designed, and exchange procedures of extended CCMP control messages which can distribute loads between servers have also been presented. The performance of the proposed system has been analysed by simulation.
