Abstract: A method and system for managing and allocating multiple communication resources to ensure relatively equal usage. The selection of the resource can be performed by retrieving a pointer value, and testing the resource associated with the pointer value monitoring the call duration over this resource and appropriately updating it's status (if the call duration is below the threshold, a bad call count for the channel is incremented. And when the bad call count exceeds the threshold the channel is marked as faulty). The pointer value as necessary to find a usable resource, and a usable resource is selected. The pointer value can be modified either before the testing of the initially-selected resource, or after the final selection of the usable resource.
