Abstract
A differentiated routing system is provided for routing a communication service according to an access point of a subscriber terminal to a first network domain. The system includes a computing system executing a core routing engine (CRE) that receives a request for a communication service from the subscriber terminal. When the communication service is to be routed to a second network domain, the CRE identifies an access point at which the subscriber terminal accesses the first network domain, includes a tag in the request according to the identified access point. The tag includes information to be used by the second network domain for routing the communication service. The CRE then transmits the request to the second network domain.
