Abstract

See full text

A system and method for determining a call path to assign a call over a packet network. A call request may be received, and at least two potential call paths over a packet network over which a call associated with the call request may be placed may be determined. Network performance information associated with each node segment on the respective at least two potential call paths may be accessed. A value associated with each potential call path may be determined, where each value may be indicative of communications operations on each potential call path. A call path may be assigned to the call based on the determined values.
