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 a communication network;

    calculating cost scores from a cost function and the collected network factors;

    assigning distribution values within the communication network, the distribution values including at least one of a weight value and a priority value;

    setting a score tolerance for the cost scores;

    receiving a communication directive;

    performing network graph search to identify a selected route for the communication directive, the graph search comprising;

    identifying a best cost route according to the total cost score of routes in the communication 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 for the communication directive.
