Abstract

A method and system provide routing of signals through a communications network. A transmitted signal is received. The signal has an associated parameter that is monitored as the signal is received. The parameter indicates the extent to which prior retransmission of the signal has occurred. The signal is retransmitted only if its parameter satisfies at least one predetermined criterion.
