                               ABSTRACT

We use a Simplex centralized algorithm to dynamically distribute 
telephonic traffic among alternate routes in circuit-switched networks 
according to the fluctuating number of free circuits and the evolving call attempts.  It generates examples for training localized Neural controllers.  Simulations shows that the decentralized Neural approach has a comparable 
performance in blocking probability with Maximum Free Circuit (MFC) and 
gives a surpassing performance in crankback.
