METHOD FOR MAINTAINING CONNECTIONS GIVEN AN AT LEAST PARTIAL OUTAGE OF CONNECTING PATHS

摘要

Method for maintaining virtual connections given an at least partial outage of connecting paths. Given the occurrence of a connection disturbance, a virtual connection initially set up within a first packet switching network (PVN1) is cleared down proceeding from the disturbed location up to the originating and destination switching equipment (Verm1, Verm2). Upon employment of a specifically generated call request, a new virtual connection proceeding from the originating switching center (Verm1) is then set up between the originating and destination switching equipment of the first packet switching network (PVN1) via an alternate route upon involvement of a second packet switching network (PVN2).
