Abstract
A telecommunications network architecture uses a service host to control the application of enhanced services. In preferred forms, the service host determines the disposition of the call and provides corresponding instructions to the origination switch by way of a service control point (SCP) in response to a request initiated by the SCP upon encountering a service node in the routing tables. The disposition may include routing the call to a media resource and if another call destination is determined, the call is rerouted from the origination switch to the destination while the first routing is dropped.
