A method of providing circuit-switched and packet-switched calls on a
single network comprises receiving (301), at a local switch, a plurality
of calls that are comprised of at least one packet-switched call and at
least one circuit-switched call and determining (305) a measure of the
plurality of calls. Based on the measure of the plurality of calls, a
first set of resources (117), from a plurality of resources between the
local switch and a network switch, is allocated to circuit-switched
calls, and a second set of resources (121), from the plurality of
resources between the local switch and the network switch, is allocated
to packet-switched calls.
