Abstract
The present invention is a service control point (SCP) for use in a telecommunications network, and in particular, as a component of a telecommunications signaling system. The SCP includes multiple databases which allow routing plans to be stored and implemented. The SCP is operable to accept queries from switches for routing information. The SCP is further operable to reply to these queries with information identifying a connection as opposed to a routing number.
