Abstract: A system and method for permitting a customer to perform intelligent call routing (ICR) in a carrier's network. A Remote Data Gateway (RDG) permits customers to control the routing of their call traffic on the carrier's network. The RDG provides the routing and delivery of call processing queries, generated on the carrier's network, to a Customer Access Point (CAP). The customer can use the CAP to perform ICR and other call processing functions. The results are sent as a response back to the RDG, which delivers the response to the carrier's network for implementation. Features provided by the RDG include improved security, improved service reliability, message and protocol translation, and maximum efficiency of network and system resources through a dynamic registration process.
