Abstract
A system and method for selectively routing telephone calls in an Advanced Intelligent Network, wherein an edge switch , comprising an AIN-equipped switching system, sends a query message to a service control point and receives a response message containing call discrimination information about a telephone call, whereby the edge switch determines whether to route the telephone call via a toll tandem office for further processing. The system further includes a segmentation directory which contains information determinative of which service control point has the service logic to process the call.
