Multiple packet routing system (MPRS)

1. A programmed computer for monitoring a network, comprising:

a memory having at least one region for storing computer executable program code; and

a processor executing the program code stored in the memory,

wherein the program code comprises:

code for monitoring a characteristic of the network;

code for controlling a network path of two or more redundant call streams sent from a first endpoint to a second endpoint based on the characteristic; and

code for selecting a delay time for transmission of one of the two or more redundant call streams from the first endpoint based on a number of lost call packets determined at the second endpoint.

2. The programmed computer of claim 1 , wherein the code for controlling is performed during a call.

3. The programmed computer of claim 1 , wherein the code for controlling includes changing the network path of redundant call streams sent based on a number of lost call packets determined at the second endpoint.

4. A computer program product, comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a network monitoring method, comprising:

code for monitoring a characteristic of the network;

code for controlling a network path of two or more redundant call streams sent from a first endpoint to a second endpoint based on the characteristic; and

code for selecting a delay time for transmission of one of the two or more redundant call streams from the first endpoint based on a number of lost call packets determined at the second endpoint.

5. The computer program product of claim 4 , wherein the code for controlling is performed during a call.

6. The computer program product of claim 4 , wherein the code for controlling includes changing the network path of redundant call streams sent based on a number of lost call packets determined at the second endpoint.
