Abstract
In a telecommunications network which comprises an Intelligent Network (IN), Call-Gapping is implemented in a call control function (CCF), so that calls are selectively discarded automatically in order to reduce the load on the IN. As the CCF is the point at which an incoming call is first recognized as an IN call, this arrangement reduces processing resources consumed by discarded calls and also provides for a faster IN call rejection response.
