A method for selecting two maximally disjoint shortest paths between a source node and destination node in a network is provided. The method comprises determining a first explicit route between the source and destination nodes by using an original link cost for each link in the network, transforming the network by introducing conditional link costs, determining a second explicit route between the source and destination nodes in the transformed network taking into account the conditional link costs, and determining the two maximally disjoint shortest paths between the source and destination nodes by coalescing the first and second explicit routes. Beneficially, the step of introducing conditional link costs comprises adding additional parameters to links in the network and determining the conditional link costs depending on the position of each link relative to the first explicit route. Corresponding method for determining “N” maximally disjoint paths in a network, wherein “N” is equal or greater than two, is also provided.

A routing system and method are provided which use a composite cost in identifying routes. This allows a simple way of identifying the best route taking multiple metrics into account for each link simultaneously. The system allows for the inclusion of pruning constraints, and allows for various objectives such as bin packing or load balancing to be achieved.

A billing profile management system and method is provided. In an embodiment, a billing profile manager is configured to cooperate with an existing network and prepaid server. The billing profile manager is configured to modify the prepaid server and maintain a billing profile for each subscriber that is separate from the billing profile on the prepaid server and which can ultimately override the prepaid server. Additional billing functionality to an existing network and prepaid server is thereby provided.
