Communications methods, apparatus and systems for conserving Media Resource Function (MRF) resources by identifying streams of sessions, for example, non-real time streams, which can be routed to avoid use of MRF resources. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving by a SBC a session initiation request from a first device directed to a second device for a session including a plurality of streams; establishing a plurality of routes to the second device, said routes including at least a first route and a second route, the first route not including a media content processing entity and the second route including a media content processing entity; identifying from the streams for the session a first set of streams; said first set of streams including one or more streams that do not require media content processing; and routing one or more of the streams of the first set of streams via the first route.
