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:
- determining, by a routing computing device, based on a value of a header field of a call session request, whether a call session from an origin to a destination should be routed based on origination information of the call session request, wherein the origination information comprises information about the origin and wherein a first value of the header field indicates that the call session is to be routed based on the origination information and a second value of the same header field indicates that the call session is to be routed based on destination information of the call session request;
- and
- responsive to determining that the call session request should be routed based on the origination information, indicating a next destination for the call session based at least in part on the origination information.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a routing computing device, a call session request for a call from an origin to a destination, the call session request comprising information indicating a call routing type, call origination information comprising information about the origin, and call destination information;
- indicating the call routing type as either an origination call routing type or a destination call routing type based on a value of a header field of the call session request;
- and
- based on the indicating, routing a call session associated with the call session request based at least in part on either the call origination information or the call destination information.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing:
- first information indicating a mapping database for origination-based routing;
- and
- second information indicating a first call management element for destination-based routing;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive a call session request comprising a header field, wherein a value of the header field indicates whether a call session is to be routed using origination-based routing or destination-based routing;
- and
- determine, based on the value of the header field associated with the call session request, whether to use the first information to route the call session in accordance with the mapping database or to use the second information to route the call session to the first call management element.
