US 6,643,703 B1 · Method and apparatus for automatic routing of circuit switched data connections based upon stored behavioral information

Abstract

A method and apparatus for automatic routing of multi-link circuit switched connections are shown. A routing processor monitors the behavioral characteristics of a previous connection from an originating client and stores data relating to the characteristics of the previous connection. In particular, data is stored regarding the previous connection which is not available until after call completion of the previous connection. When the originating client initiates a subsequent connection, the routing processor retrieves the data relating to the behavioral characteristics of the previous connection and efficiently routes the subsequent based upon the behavioral characteristics.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A routing processor, comprising:

a data entry identifying a connection from an originating client as a multi-link connection, the data entry being available once the originating client has established a first link with a terminating client through a selected communication device;
a buffer adapted to store the data entry;
a circuit adapted to search the buffer for the data entry for the originating client responsive to each subsequent communication link set-up request from the originating client and, if the data entry is found, to direct routing of all subsequent communication links from the originating client to the terminating client using the selected communication device.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
