  • Systems and methods for dynamically registering endpoints in a network
    Patent number: 10834049
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for dynamically registering a communication device with a network are disclosed. As one example, a system is disclosed that includes a home feature server, a central feature server, and a floating feature server. The floating feature server is communicably coupled to at least the home and central feature servers, and the home feature server is communicably coupled to at least the central feature server. The home feature server is associated with a communication device. The floating feature server is communicably coupled to a computer readable medium that includes instructions executable by the floating feature server to: receive an access request from the communication device; issue a services request to the home feature server; and service the access request. Various other embodiments and/or features are also disclosed.
