Abstract
In a communication network, a call processing system receives signaling for a call indicating a called number. The system processes the called number to determine a single-network identifier associated with the called number. The system processes the single-network identifier to determine if the single-network identifier identifies an affiliated network that is affiliated with the communication network. If the single-network identifier identifies the affiliated network, then the system selects a double-network identifier indicating both the communication network and the affiliated network. The system transfers response signaling that includes the double-network identifier.
