Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions for a first signaling server to provide high-availability video conferencing, wherein the program instructions are executable by a processor to: monitor a second signaling server, wherein the second signaling server facilitates video conference signaling between endpoints and media servers, wherein the media servers provide media support for video conferences between the endpoints, wherein the second signaling server has a first floating IP address, wherein the first floating IP address comprises a contact address for a cluster comprising the first signaling server, the second signaling server, and the media servers; detect that the second signaling server has failed; capture the first floating IP address based on detecting that the second signaling server has failed; and facilitate video conference signaling between the endpoints and the media servers in response to detecting that the second signaling server has failed.
