MULTI-PROTOCOL TELECOMMUNICATIONS ROUTING OPTIMIZATION

摘要

A telecommunications switching system (10) employing multi-protocol routing optimization which utilizes predetermined and measured parameters in accordance with a set of user priorities in determining the selection of a telecommunications path to be utilized for transmitting a data file to a remote destination. The switching system (10) has a first memory (30) for storing the data file, a second memory (22) for storing predetermined parameters, a third memory for storing a set of user priorities (32), means (24) for measuring the value of variable parameters associated with each of the telecommunications paths, and a processor means (26) are operatively associated with the second and third memories (22 and 23) and the variable parameters for determining which of the plurality of telecommunications path s should be utilized.
