Abstract
The capacity to adapt to the extensive and dynamic network conditions is a requirement of intelligent networks (INs). The network environment may change due to a large number of internal and/or external conditions. The network may become overloaded or faulty; it may experience switching delays or inadequate standby channel capacity or any other network condition. Further, the user or the source and the destination of the information may lead to an extraneous search before the right information is conveyed to the customer. In an overall sense, the network monitors its own performance without user, operator, or any other human intervention. In essence, the network adaptation responds to the environment in controlling and executing an entire range of communication functions.
