Abstract

An intermediating network is adapted to intermediate between originating and servicing networks. A first set of communications addresses in the originating network that originates communications to the servicing network is identified. A second set of communications addresses in the servicing network that service the communications originating in the originating network is identified. An incompatibility between the first and second sets of communications addresses that would prevent a communication from the first set of communications addresses from reaching the second set of communications addresses is identified. The incompatibility includes a number of communications addresses in the first set of communications addresses exceeding a tolerance of the servicing network. The intermediating network is adapted so that a communication from the first set of communications addresses is sent to the servicing network via the intermediating network when the tolerance of the servicing network is exceeded.
