FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: in a version of the invention, an initiating device sends a request to a server to initiate a full-duplex session with a target device. In response to the full-duplex request, a half-duplex session is set-up from the initiating device to the target device before the full-duplex session is set-up. The target device indicates its acceptance of the half-duplex session, receives half-duplex media from the initiating device and selectively indicates its acceptance of the full-duplex session.
EFFECT: faster set-up of a communication session.
