Abstract
A data transmission routing system which allows a terminal user to access an initial host within a computer network, the initial host determines a preferred target host to respond to the user's requests, the initial host communicates with a terminal or gateway node the target host's address, and the terminal or gateway node makes a connection wth the target host. Once the terminal or gateway node is in communication with the target host, the initial host forwards through the terminal or gateway node user profile information to the target host. The initial host is then disconnected and communication then proceeds with the user in contact with the target host through the terminal or gateway node. The entire process may take less than a second or two and the user may never know that a call deflection to a new host has occurred.
