A method and system for multiplexing a plurality of calls ( 135 a , 135 b , 135 c , 135 d , 135 e) to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for transmission in a plurality of timeslots ( 145 a , 145 b , 145 c) by combining the calls in assigned timeslots. The timeslots may be assigned dynamically or statically. For example, calls ( 135 a) and ( 135 b) are combined such that call ( 135 a) and a percentage of call ( 135 b) are assigned timeslot ( 145 a). The remainder of call ( 135 b) is combined with call ( 135 c) in the next assigned timeslot ( 145 b). In this way n calls are combined (wherein n is a positive integer or fraction) to make efficient use of the circuit-switched connection of a PSTN Transit Network. |
