SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING ROUTING IN A DISTRIBUTED COMMUNICATION PLATFORM
First Claim
1. A method for routing a communication within a communication platform with at least a set of nodes interfacing to outside communication services comprising:
- collecting network factors of edges of the communication network;
calculating cost scores from a cost function and the collected network factorsassigning distribution values within the network;
setting a score tolerance;
receiving a communication directive;
performing network graph search to identify a selected route comprising;
identifying a best cost route according to the total cost score of routes in the network,setting a consideration pool to routes with cost scores within a score tolerance of the cost score of the best cost route, andselecting the selected route based on determined distribution values of the routes in the consideration pool; and
establishing a media route specified by the selected route.

Abstract
A system and method for routing communication in a communication platform that includes generating edge cost scores in the communication network; assigning distribution values within the network; setting a score tolerance; receiving a communication directive; performing network graph search to identify a selected route through a route selection process including considering cost score within the score tolerance and distributing selection of a route associated with the communication directive in accordance to the distribution values; and establishing a media route specified by the selected route.
