Abstract
In this paper, a distributed instant message system with multiple servers architecture which can distribute system load effectively using an extended media control channel has been presented. A media control channel provides establishing a reliable control channel and also keeping a reliable control channel between SIP server and client in the field of real-time media transport area. In this study, a new instant message system architecture which can distribute massive instant message including multimedia data to multiple servers has been presented. The presented instant message system architecture can distribute system load by extending media control channel. For this purpose, media control channel messages, which distribute system load to multiple servers dynamically according to increasing number of users, have been designed in our presented system. And, in our research, an exchanging procedures of media control channel messages between servers have also been presented. The performance of the proposed system has been analysed by simulation.
