Alternate Routing
Alternate routing is provided for calls to take an alternate path in the event of a congested or failed primary trunk. When there are more than two Primary Rate D channels, phone numbers can be assigned to more than one D channel. Calls placed or routed through the PRI server will now have an alternate route if no bandwidth is available on the first specified path. Alternate routing will also take place in the event of a failure of the first Primary Rate circuit. In the example shown in Figure 30, the call from D1 is usually routed to D2, as the D channel numbering is more specific. However, if the D2 trunk become congested or go out of service, the call will be routed to D3.
