<p>The present invention relates to a method and a system for routing traffic in a node (61) of a telecommunication system. In accordance with the method, (a) the node receives traffic units, such as call attempts to each of which is connected given call attributes on the basis of which the routing is carried out, (b) a suitable alternative is selected from among several possible traffic control alternatives (R1-R3, A8), whereby a set of attributes is allocated to each alternative for the selection and an atttribute is matched with the call attribute corresponding to it when testing the suitability of said alternative for said traffic unit. In order to enable flexible routing possibilities, a set of selection policies and the order in which they are used are specified for the selection, each selection policy specifying at least the available alternatives and the order in which said alternatives are selected for testing, whereby the suitability of the alternatives is tested in the order specified by the selection policy.</p> |
