Abstract
Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for controlling time-sensitive data in a packet-based network. Data associated with a call is received, and the data includes an identifier associated with the data, a data source, or one or more data destinations. The data is associated with a logical trunk group selected from a plurality of logical trunk groups each in communication with the one or more data destinations over a packet-based network. The logical trunk group is selected based in part on the identifier. Calls through the packet-based network are managed based in part on the associated logical trunk group.
