Abstract
One or more aspects of the disclosure relate to various functions and processes related to routing of calls based on origination and/or destination information. In one aspect, a method may comprise receiving a request for a call session, and the request may include an indicator that may indicate whether to route a call based on origination and/or destination information of the call session. Based on the indicator, a routing element may determine whether the call session should be routed based on origination information and/or destination information.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a routing computing device, a call session request, the call session request including an indicator;
- determining, based on the indicator, whether the call session request should be routed based on origination information of the call session request;
- and
- responsive to determining that the call session request should be routed based on the origination information, sending a first request for information identifying a next destination for the call session request, wherein the information identifying the next destination is determined based on the origination information of the call session request.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device of a routing element, a call session request including information identifying a call routing type, call origination information, and call destination information;
- and
- based on the information identifying the call routing type, routing a call session associated with the call session request based on one of the call origination information and the call destination information.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing:
- first information identifying a mapping database for origination-based routing;
- and
- second information identifying a first call management element for destination-based routing;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive a first request associated with a call session request;
- and
- determine, based on the first request, whether to route the call session request to the mapping database or to the first call management element.
