Abstract
An intermediating network is adapted to intermediate between an originating network and a servicing network. A first set of communications addresses in the originating network that can be used to originate communications to the servicing network are identified. A second set of communications addresses in the servicing network that can be used to service communications originating in the originating network are identified. The first set of communications addresses and the second set of communications addresses are analyzed. Based on the analyzing, incompatibilities between the first set of communications addresses and the second set of communications addresses that would prevent a communication from one of the first set of communications addresses from reaching the second set of communications addresses are determined. A processor of a computer is used to adapt the intermediating network so that the communication from the first set of communications addresses can be sent to the second set of communications addresses via the intermediating network. The communication from the originating network is received at the intermediating network and the communication is routed through the intermediating network to the servicing network.
