Systems and methods for aggregate routing among interconnecting directories

A computer-implemented method for use in aggregate routing in response to a request associated with interconnecting directories, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a proxy service core computing device, from a participant, a lookup request, the lookup request including reference data;
• submitting, by the proxy service core computing device, the lookup request to each of multiple directories, whereby each of the multiple directories uses the reference data included in the lookup request to identify other data;
• initiating, by the proxy service core computing device, an interval for response;
• determining, by the proxy service core computing device, that a lookup response has been received from each of the multiple directories or that the interval has expired;
• and
• in response to the determination:
• aggregate, by the proxy service core computing device, the other data included in the lookup responses into an aggregate lookup response;
• and
• return the aggregate lookup response, to the participant, in response to the lookup request.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive, from a participant, a lookup request, the lookup request including reference data;
• submit the lookup request to each of multiple directories, whereby each of the multiple directories uses the reference data included in the lookup request to identify other data;
• determine that a lookup response has been received from each of the multiple directories;
• and
• in response to determining that the lookup response has been received from each of the multiple directories:
• aggregate the other data included in the lookup responses into an aggregate lookup response;
• and
• return the aggregate lookup response, to the participant, in response to the lookup request.
