Abstract

A customer-maintained routing system for providing routing to a network provider (241) for incoming calls (107) from clients to the customer comprises a processor (103) having a data link adapted for connection to a customer access point (310) provided by the network provider, a router adapted to execute on the processor (214) and to provide routing to the network via the customer access point, and a metadata-based information system (310) maintained in RAM accessible to the processor and containing a condensed client characteristics (300). Upon receiving a request from the network including a call identifier, the router accesses the database using the identifier as a key, retreives client characteristics from the information system and provides a destination for the call to the network based on the retrieved client characteristics.
