Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for establishing and selecting session connections in response to voice over internet protocol quality determinations, comprising executing on a processing unit the steps of: comparing a latency of audio data packets transiting between a pair of endpoints in a network over a first session that is established for voice over internet protocol communication between the endpoints, to a latency of audio data packets transiting between the pair of endpoints in the network over a second session that is established for voice over internet protocol communication between the endpoints; signaling the endpoints to select one of the first and second sessions that has a lower value of the compared determined latencies by a difference ranging from 375 milliseconds to 425 milliseconds as a primary session for communicating between the endpoints at least one of audio packet data, video packet data, original packet data and resource reservation protocol packet data; and signaling the endpoints to select another of the first and second sessions that is not selected as the primary session as a secondary session for communicating between the endpoints at least one of packet data that is not redundant to the original packet data communicated on the primary session, and other packet that data that is not audio, video, resource reservation protocol or priority packet data; and wherein the latencies of the voice over internet protocol communication audio data packets transiting between the endpoints over the first and second sessions each meet a basic requirement defined to provide voice over internet protocol data packet communication between the endpoints.
