ABSTRACT:
A method of optimizing the cost of toll calls in a communication system comprised of providing a plurality of toll call plan costing agents, each representing a call completion plan having parameters relating to a minimal call cost and to the minimization of a total system cost of calling, detecting that a toll call is to be made and the parameters of the toll call, the call plan costing agents each calculating an estimate of a minimizing system toll call cost increment in the event its toll call plan is implemented for the call, bidding for the toll call by each of the costing agents by providing the estimated cost of the call and of the increment, selecting a suitable bid based on minimization of total system calls, and indicating to a call processor agent parameters of the selected toll call plan whereby the call can be completed in accordance with the selected plan.
