Abstract
A communication system includes a signaling processor that receives and processes SS7 message to select virtual paths. The communication system includes an interworking system that converts time division multiplex communications into asynchronous communications for transfer over the selected virtual paths. The communication system includes a bandwidth management system that allocates spare bandwidth from one virtual path to another based on messages from the signaling processor, but does not allow the bandwidth of a virtual path to exceed a maximum threshold.
