<p>An exchange comprises a plurality of distributed nodes for processing calls from or to a first neighbouring exchange, two or more of said nodes being arranged to be connected to the first neighbouring exchange by separate trunk routes, and a signalling point code being assigned to the node-end of each trunk route, wherein the signalling point codes assigned to the node-ends of the separate trunk routes to the first neighbouring exchange, differ from each other. The first neighbouring exchange sees the exchange as if it were two or more conventional exchanges. The total amount of call processing for handling a call in a network which incorporates one or more exchanges of the invention can be reduced. <IMAGE></p> |
