Optimization of network resources

A network resource optimization system for initiating communication between a network node and a network resource, the network resource optimization system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon for initiating communication between a network node and a network resource, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a network node, a resource request;
• parsing the resource request to determine required resource parameters;
• determining a plurality of network resources that satisfy the required resource parameters;
• determining a subset of network resources from the plurality of network resources based, at least in part, on a score of each of the plurality of the network resources, wherein the score of each network resource is based, at least in part, on:
• a rate of acceptance of communication requests received by the network resource;
• or
• a number of times communication sessions were established between the network resource and any network node in consequence to accepted communication requests;
• determining, by the network resource optimization system, a probability of receiving, by the network resource optimization system from respective network resources of the subset of network resources, acceptance of a communication request based, at least in part, on a random number, wherein a volatility of the random number with respect to each network resource is related to the number of times communication sessions were established between the network resource and any network node;
• and
• transmitting, to each of at least two network resources of the subset of network resources, a communication request based, at least in part, on the score of each of the at least two network resources of the subset of network resources.

A non-transitory machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon for initiating communication between a network node and a network resource, wherein the instructions are executable by one or more processors for at least:

• receiving, from a network node, a resource request;
• parsing the resource request to determine required resource parameters;
• determining a plurality of network resources that satisfy the required resource parameters;
• determining a subset of network resources from the plurality of network resources based, at least in part, on a score of each of the plurality of the network resources, wherein the score of each network resource is based, at least in part, on
• a rate of acceptance of communication requests received by the network resource;
• calculating a probability of receiving, from respective network resources of the subset of network resources, acceptance of a communication request based, at least in part, on a random number, wherein a volatility of the random number with respect to each network resource is related to a number of times communication sessions were established between the network resource and any network node;
• selecting a candidate network resource from the subset of network resources based, at least in part, on the score;
• transmitting, to the candidate network resource, a communication request;
• receiving, from the candidate network resource, an acceptance of the communication request, wherein receiving the acceptance causes the one or more processors to activate a selection mechanism at the network node;
• and
• receiving, by the one or more processors from the network node, a selection made through the selection mechanism, wherein:
• receiving the selection causes the one or more processors to initiate a communication session between the candidate network resource and the network node.
