User-based differentiated routing system and method

A differentiated routing method comprising:

• receiving, using instructions stored on a computer-readable medium and executed by a processor, a request from a computing system in a native network domain, the native network domain comprising a plurality of egress gateways that route communication services to a corresponding plurality of destination network domains, the request appended with a tag, wherein the tag includes at least one of a country designation portion, a quality of service portion, a class of service portion, and a service type portion;
• selecting, using the instructions executed by the processor, a destination network domain of the plurality of destination network domains according to the at least one of a country designation portion, a quality of service portion, a class of service portion, and a service type portion included in the tag;
• and
• transmitting, using the instructions executed by the processor, an instruction to an ingress gateway in the native network domain in communication with the computing system to establish a communication service with the selected destination network domain.

Code implemented in a non-transitory, computer readable medium that when executed by a processor, is operable to perform at least the following:

• receiving a request from a computing system in a native network domain, the native network domain comprising a plurality of egress gateways that route communication services to a corresponding plurality of destination network domains, the request appended with a tag, wherein the tag includes at least one of a country designation portion, a quality of service portion, a class of service portion, and a service type portion;
• selecting a destination network domain of the plurality of destination network domains according to the at least one of a country designation portion, a quality of service portion, a class of service portion, and a service type portion included in the tag;
• and
• transmitting an instruction to an ingress gateway in the native network domain in communication with the computing system to establish a communication service with the selected destination network domain.
