determining wireless switch-to-switch offered load;
determining an available IP bandwidth between a first media gateway and a second media gateway;
determining a trunk size for at least one terminating switch;
calculating carried traffic to be off-loaded between the first and the second media gateway;
locating traffic to be off-loaded between a plurality of switches;
re-evaluating the carried traffic between the first and second media gateway;
re-evaluating the carried load between at least one switch and the first media gateway; and
adding back traffic between the first and the second media gateway.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein re-evaluating the carried load between the at least one switch and the first media gateway includes evaluating quality-of-service of carried traffic between the at least one switch and the first media gateway.

means for creating a plurality of call data records, each call data record correlating with a transmission from an origination point to a termination point;
means for extracting call data from the plurality of call data records;
means for analyzing the call data to prioritize network traffic; and
means for optimizing traffic hand-off between a first network and a second network based on the prioritized traffic.
12. The system of claim 11, further comprising means for moving at least some network traffic from the first network to the second network.
13. The system of claim 11, further comprising means for evaluating network traffic capacity of the first network and the second network.
14. The system of claim 11, further comprising means for determining a route map from the origination point to the termination point.
15. The system of claim 11, wherein the second network is a packet-based network.
