Each originating node has a mechanism for manipulating the order in which the switched permanent connections are attempted to be established with the terminating nodes. The system includes a switch fabric which establishes the switched permanent connections between the originating nodes and the terminating nodes. The originating nodes and terminating nodes are connected to the switch fabric. The mechanism for manipulating the order in which SPVx connections are attempted to be established between originating nodes and terminating nodes through a switch fabric.
