Zusammenfassung:A method for allocating a video conferencing task within a computer network comprising a plurality of candidate processing devices, the method comprising: - for each of the candidate processing devices: o determining a topological score (302), the topological score being a function of at least one end-to-end delay between a pair of participating endpoints through the candidate processing device, - for each candidate processing device within at least a subset of the candidate processing devices: o determining an availability score (303), the availability score being a function of an available processing capacity of the candidate processing device, - selecting a preferred processing device (307) among the candidate processing devices as a function of the topological scores and of the availability scores, and allocating the video conferencing task to the preferred processing device.
