Abstract
A method of routing a call in a private network, with overflow (alternate routing) onto another network, calculates various routes for setting up the call, with one or more overflows onto the other network, and chooses a route as a function of the overflow cost and the number of overflows. This minimizes the overflow cost and maximizes the use of private network resources. Taking the number of overflows into account limits the call setup time.
