Abstract
A method of routing calls using dialing partitions includes receiving a call request at a first call manager from a first device coupled to a packet-based network. The call request includes a telephone number that is associated with a second device coupled to the packet-based network. The method also includes accessing a dialing partition table based on a partition search space associated with the first device. The method further includes determining a routing target that is associated with one or more telephone numbers in the dialing partition table that match the telephone number in the call request. In addition, the method also includes communicating the call request to the routing target.
