Abstract: A method is disclosed of providing the preferential facility of obtaining particular calls between users manner by reserving circuit segments for some users of a communication network in the event that the particular calls are established via at least two switching nodes of the network, in the context of a network constituted so that each call requested by a user via a terminal is set up via a circuit for connecting the terminal to the terminal of a called user, the circuits comprising one circuit segment or a plurality of circuit segments connected in series, when the call is set up via a plurality of switching nodes of the network, each segment being selected from available circuit segments on a trunk between two switching nodes so that a circuit is set up enabling the calling user and the called user to communicate.
