Method for alternate routing of communication connections

Abstract

Communication connections in a communication system with a communication terminal are assigned to a first communication device, which can be registered at a second communication device, and used in a packet-oriented network by way of which the communication terminal is connected to the first and the second communication devices. As a consequence of a registration performed by a subscriber the communication terminal is signed off from the first communication device and is assigned to the second communication device. In the case of a communication connection initialized at the communication terminal a check is carried out to determine whether the initiated communication connection to a destination device defined by a subscriber number reserved in the communication system is to be realized. In the case of a positive outcome to the check a determination of the destination device is performed taking into consideration information characterizing the location of the communication terminal which is available in the communication terminal, whereupon the communication connection is established to a destination device assigned to the first communication device.
