ABSTRACT:
In a communications network, a database is searched for a least cost route in response to a call request from a subscriber, and a connection is established along the least cost route between the calling subscriber and a called subscriber. For the duration of the call, the database is repeatedly searched for a route having a cost lower than the cost of a previously determined route. If the route of lower cost is detected, a new connection is established along the lower cost route, instead of the currently established connection.
