Abstract:
A method of setting up connections for a transfer of information in the form of calls between a calling and a called subscriber in a teletransmission network, where each subscriber is connected to the network via a subscriber interface, and where, on the basis of an identification associated with a given call, it is detected whether the call is of a first type or a second type, whereby:in case of calls of the first type, the connection is set up via a first transmission path which comprises one or more exchanges, and in case of calls of the second type, the connection is set up via or is switched to a second transmission path; characterized in that the detection of the type of the call takes place at the subscriber interface of the calling subscriber, and that the second transmission path bypasses the exchange or exchanges; characterized in that the detection of the type of the call may take place at any time during the call, and that the connection, if it does not correspond to the present type of the call, may be switched to the first or the second transmission path.
