ABSTRACT:
A system for managing communications between a first node and a second node in a telecommunication network. Communication normally flows between the first node and the second node via a first communication link in the network. The flow can be re-routed, under a user's control, via a second communication link that may be less expensive or have a lower QoS. A user sends a control signal into the network that indicates the second communication link between the first node and the second node should be used for a subsequent telecommunication connection. In response to the control signal and an address signal that indicates a called station, the system establishes the telecommunication connection between the calling station and the called station via the second communication link.
