Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) call quality
A method for improving Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call quality is disclosed. The method includes detecting, at a first computing device, a delay in receiving content data during a first media exchange. The first media exchange uses a first port. The method further includes automatically selecting a second port. The method also includes sending a port change notification featuring a port number of the second port to a second computing device. In some embodiments, the method further includes initiating a second media exchange using the second port.
1. A method for improving Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call quality, the method comprising:
detecting, at a first computing device, a delay in receiving content data during a first media exchange, wherein the first media exchange uses a first port;
automatically selecting, by the first computing device, a second port upon the detection of the delay that meets or exceeds a time threshold;
sending a port change notification featuring a port number of the second port to a second computing device; and
initiating a second media exchange using the second port, wherein the second port is different from the first port.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sending a first media exchange termination notification and terminating the first media exchange.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
initiating a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling session to initiate the first media exchange; and
initiating a second SIP signaling session.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time threshold is a predetermined time window threshold.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time threshold is a latency threshold.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically selecting the second port comprises randomly selecting the port number from a set range of port numbers.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media exchange and the second media exchange comprise an exchange of Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets.
8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for improving Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) call quality that, when executed by a processor, cause:
detecting, at a first computing device, a delay in receiving content data during a first media exchange, wherein the first media exchange uses a first port;
automatically selecting, by the first computing device, a second port upon the detection of the delay that meets or exceeds a time threshold;
sending a port change notification featuring a port number of the second port to a second computing device; and
initiating a second media exchange using the second port, wherein the second port is different from the first port.
9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , storing a set of further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
sending a first media exchange termination notification and terminating the first media exchange.
10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , storing a set of further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
initiating a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling session to initiate the first media exchange; and
initiating a second SIP signaling session.
11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the time threshold is a predetermined time window threshold.
12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the time threshold is a latency threshold.
13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein automatically selecting the second port comprises randomly selecting the port number from a set range of port numbers.
14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first media exchange and the second media exchange comprise an exchange of Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets.
15. A system for improving Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call quality, the system comprising:
a processor;
a memory operatively connected to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
detecting, at a first computing device, a delay in receiving content data during a first media exchange, wherein the first media exchange uses a first port;
automatically selecting, by the first computing device, a second port upon the detection of the delay that meets or exceeds a time threshold;
sending a port change notification featuring a port number of the second port to a second computing device; and
initiating a second media exchange using the second port, wherein the second port is different from the first port.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
sending a first media exchange termination notification and terminating the first media exchange.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
initiating a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling session to initiate the first media exchange; and
initiating a second SIP signaling session.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the time threshold is a predetermined time window threshold.
19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the time threshold is a latency threshold.
20. The system of claim 16 , wherein automatically selecting the second port comprises randomly selecting the port number from a set range of port numbers.
