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.

Call control system and method for automatic routing of circuit switched data connections based upon stored communication link information

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system () for data communication disclosed that comprises a first transceiver unit (), a second transceiver unit (), and a communication path () coupled to the first transceiver unit () and the second transceiver unit (). The first transceiver unit () is operable to perform compression negotiation with a second transceiver unit (). More specifically, the first and second transceiver units (and) may comprise ADSL transceiver units, and the communication path () may comprise a twisted-pair cable. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for data communication is disclosed. First, a first transceiver unit () and a second transceiver unit () are initialized. The first transceiver () then communicates a request for compression negotiation to the second transceiver unit (). A common compression protocol is then identified. Finally, the first transceiver unit () transmits data compressed using the common compression protocol to the second transceiver unit ().

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 routes the subsequent connection along a route which is advantageous to serving the behavioral characteristics of the subsequent connection.
