Abstract
A method for operating a multi-segment repeater hub wherein at least some of various signal ports connecting signaling stations to the hub can be connected selectively to different segments of the hub, comprising: monitoring signal traffic between the stations and the hub and thereby establishing a database which indicates for each of a plurality of ports the volume of signal traffic between the respective port and each other port in said plurality and any segment through which any of said signal traffic flows and to which a port other than a port in said plurality is connected, computing the traffic to and from the ports in said plurality and said segments and the traffic between the segments for each of a plurality of possible configurations in each of which a selected port is notionally moved from connection to one segment to connection with another segment; computing according to selected criteria a preferred set of connections to the ports to the segments, and switching the connections of the ports and segments to establish said set of connections.
