The system evaluates the costs of different options on basis of priority of calls using routes, and resources available. The procedure provides for routing a call through a network comprising a number of nodes connected together by paths. Each call has associated with it a level of priority by means of which is it able to pre-empt communications within the network. This is based on calculation of the cost of different routes by which the call could be directed, and the choice of the route as a function of the cost. The cost of a route is a function, on the one hand of the maximum value of the communication priority on the paths of the route, and on the other hand the number of pre-empted communications on these paths and finally on the resources available on the paths. |
