Link state variables are monitored and updated when call termination requests or call arrival requests are received. When a call arrival request is received, a list of potential routes between the source and destination nodes is determined. A best route is selected by evaluating the link states for each potential route. A call is attempted on the best route and if the attempt is not successful, a call is attempted using the next best route and so on.Field of SearchSpare channel | |
