In the Figure 3-1 example of a travel agency, Hunt Group A receives calls only
when agents are available since it has no queue. Calls to Hunt Group B can be
queued while agents are unavailable, and redirected to Hunt Group C if not
answered within an administrable time. Calls to Hunt Group C are redirected to
voice mail if not answered within an administrable time.
