The present invention relates to an arrangement, a network and methods for identifying the relevant SDP for a question from an SCP in a telecommunication network with a large amount of subscribers and handling and administration of a large amount of subscribers by introducing a function for intelligent routing. The intelligent routing between SCP and SDP can be handled by a node standing by itself in the network or as a part-function in an already existing node, for example an SCP. When a new subscriber shall be stored in an SDP subscriber data is transferred from the service administration to a master IRF (Intelligent Routing Function). The IRF comprises a function for determining which SDP that shall store the subscriber data and the IRF thereafter transfer the subscriber data to the SDP. The IRF also stores this information. The information is also transferred to the other IRFs. When an SCP gets a call from an SSP, the SCP contacts an IRF which contacts an SDP.
A network for being able to handle a large number of Intelligent Network (IN) calls and a large number of IN subscribers, comprising:
An arrangement for being able to handle a large amount of IN calls and a large amount of IN subscribers;
A method for handling a large number of Intelligent Network (IN) calls and a large number of IN subscribers In a telecommunication network, comprising the steps wherein:
A method for providing IN calls within a telecommunications network including a service control point (SCP) for providing call control instructions to one or more service switching points (SSPs), and two or more service data points (SDPs) for storing subscriber data associated with a plurality of subscribers, said method further comprising the steps of:
