| 28. A system for preserving bandwidth in a Resource Reservation Setup Protocol (RSVP) environment, comprising:
a first quality of service agent and a second quality of service agent operable to facilitate communication between a first
endpoint and a second endpoint of a plurality of endpoints, wherein the first endpoint and the second endpoint communicate
using a first reservation;
a call agent coupled to the first QoS agent and the second QoS agent, the call agent is operable to determine whether a conference
feature has been implemented by the first endpoint during the communication between the first endpoint and the second endpoint,
the call agent is operable to preserve the first reservation between the first endpoint and the second endpoint in accordance
with the determination that the conference feature has been implemented;
the first quality of service agent and a third quality of service agent operable to facilitate communication between the first
endpoint and a third endpoint of a plurality of endpoints, wherein the first endpoint and the third endpoint communicate using
a second reservation;
the call agent operable to preserve the second reservation between the first endpoint and the third endpoint in accordance
with the determination that the conference feature has been implemented;
the first, second, and third quality of service agents operable to facilitate communication between the first endpoint, the
second endpoint, and the third endpoint with a conference bridge using third, fourth, and fifth reservations respectively
in accordance with the conference feature.
