Abstract

A method of managing a call traffic includes determining when a load of a first call manager exceeds a predetermined load level, and ameliorating the load when the load exceeds the predetermined load level. The load is ameliorated by either notifying a network that future calls are to be directed to a second call manager, or transferring at least one pending call from the first call manager to a second call manager, or both.
