Abstract
A call manager receives a call setup request for a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoP) call from a phone having an associated call originator. The call manager then determines whether sufficient bandwidth exists for the VoP call over a link using a bandwidth table. If insufficient bandwidth exists on the link for the VoP call, the call manager presents a plurality of call completion options to the call originator. One of the call completion options is a public switched telephone network (PSTN) option. In response to the selection of the PSTN option, the call manager routes the VoP call over a PSTN.
