A METHOD FOR SELECTING A FREE LINK AND AN ARRANGEMENT HEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for selecting a free link (d) for a requested connection (h) from a plurality of available route coordinated links in accordance with a particular resource requirement of the requested connection and in dependence on the current resource seizure of connections that have already been established on utilized links. The current resource seizure for each link resulting from established connection or connections is stored in a memory (54). Each link is sorted in the memory (54) in a link allocated memory site which corresponds to the current resource seizure of the link concerned, or the free resource capacity of the link. Upon the occurrence of a requested connection (h) with a specific resource requirement, it is first evaluated whether or not a link (c) sorted in a selected memory site (m) has residual free capacity for the requirement in question, the memory site (m) being dependent on the specific resource requirement of the connection (h).
