Abstract

An arrangement and method for compiling telecommunication traffic analysis data includes the steps of collecting call data for a plurality of calls to a single customer from a signaling circuit that commonly carries the signaling for calls to a plurality of customers. The call data is transmitted to and stored in a call data processor which processes the call data to compile a summary of traffic data for the plurality of calls to the customer. Further processing of the summary of traffic data results in a change of a parameter in the customer's call processing logic and a reduction of call blocking for subsequent calls.
