Abstract
Virtual dedicated voice connections between parties 18, 19 to a packet switched system can be created by reserving capacity for such connections in the packet switched system. The capacity reservable by any one party is limited, to prevent oversubscription of resources in the packet switched. The system incorporates a call admission control processor 12, 17 for controlling access to the packet switched call routing system such that a voice call attempt is successful only if capacity for such a dedicated connection has previously been reserved.
The capacity reserved for the virtual connections is made available for use by other traffic when not required for voice calls.
