Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to systems and methods for implementing telecommunications. More specifically, various embodiments of the present invention provide methods for interconnecting real-time communication links. Such methods include receiving the status of at least two communication links. The communication links may be established between endpoints and bridges in a network. One of the bridges associated with one of the communication links is selected to operate as a host bridge based at least in part on the status of the communication links. Then, after receiving the status from at least two of the communication links, the selected host bridge is automatically caused to initiate another communication link with at least another bridge associated with one of the aforementioned communication links.

Abstract: A teleconference system and method is disclosed comprising, a teleconference bridge having a plurality of ports for establishing a teleconference between two or more attendees. A maintenance and administration terminal is connected to said bridge, for generating one or more transaction records in response to a change in the status of any port on said teleconference bridge. A first server is connected to said maintenance and administration terminal, for receiving the one or more transaction records generated by said maintenance and administrative terminal and storing the one or more transaction records in a first database. A second server is connected to said first server having an interface operable to send the one or more transaction records stored in said first database, to a remote computer.
