A user agent and a super user agent for use in terminals for cluster-based multi-party conferencing using one or more clusters of terminals. Each cluster includes a super member comprising a super user agent, and one or more members including a user agent. The user agent comprises identity of the super member terminal of the cluster, a conference identity identifying the cluster-based conference, cluster parameters including a split value (Sv) indicative of a maximum number of terminals that may be part of the cluster, wherein when Sv is reached during the conference the cluster is split, and a merge value (Mv) indicative of a minimum number of terminals that may be part of the cluster, wherein when Mv is reached the cluster is merged with another cluster. The super user agent comprises a cluster member list of terminals of the cluster, the conference identity, a cluster neighbour list identifying any other one or more neighbour terminals including a super user agent, the one or more terminals also participating to the same conference, and the cluster parameters.
