1. A method for routing signals through a communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal;
monitoring a parameter associated with the signal, the parameter indicating an extent of prior retransmission of the signal; and
retransmitting the signal only if the parameter associated with the signal satisfies at least one predetermined criterion.

Abstract
A method and system provide routing of signals through a communications network. A transmitted signal is received. The signal has an associated parameter that is monitored as the signal is received. The parameter indicates the extent to which prior retransmission of the signal has occurred. The signal is retransmitted only if its parameter satisfies at least one predetermined criterion.
