Claims18
A method comprising:
- creating at least two call routing tables based on an outage recovery criterion, wherein a first call routing table is utilized when a plurality of calls occur within a telecommunications carrier network in an absence of an outage, and a second call routing table is utilized when the plurality of calls occur within the telecommunications carrier network during an outage;
- providing the first and second call routing tables to at least one service control point that is associated with the telecommunications carrier network;
- monitoring the plurality of calls occurring within the telecommunications carrier network;
- receiving at least one datum indicative of an occurrence of an outage matching the outage recovery criterion;
- and
- instructing the at least one service control point to switch from using the first call routing table to the second call routing table.

A system comprising:
- at least one computer comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
- create at least two call routing tables based on an outage recovery criterion, wherein a first call routing table is utilized when a plurality of calls occur within a telecommunications carrier network in an absence of an outage, and a second call routing table is utilized when the plurality of calls occur within the telecommunications carrier network during an outage;
- provide the first and second call routing tables to at least one service control point that is associated with the telecommunications carrier network;

A method comprising:
- receiving at at least one service control point associated with a telecommunications carrier network a first and second call routing table wherein the first and second call routing tables are created based, at least in part, on an outage recovery criterion, wherein the first call routing table is utilized when a plurality of calls occur within the telecommunications carrier network in an absence of an outage, and wherein the second call routing table is utilized when the plurality of calls occur within the telecommunications carrier network during an outage;
- receiving at least one datum indicative of an occurrence of an outage matching the outage recovery criterion;
- and
- switching from using the first call routing table to the second call routing table in response to receiving that at least one datum.
