Abstract:

A telecommunications network (10) includes a network processor (16) and a plurality of telecommunications switches (12). Each of the plurality of telecommunications switches (12) receives routing recommendations from the network processor (16) based on congestion data supplied by each of the plurality of telecommunications switches (12) to the network processor (16). Congestion data is collected and supplied for each of the plurality of processors (14) within each of the plurality of telecommunications switches (12) within the telecommunications network (10). Each of the plurality of processors (14) routes telecommunications signals within the telecommunications network (10) according to routing recommendations stored in destination node tables (30) as provided by the network processor (16). The network processor (16) continuously updates the routing recommendations within the destination node tables (30) according to changes in congestion states or configuration states of the telecommunications network (10).
