Abstract
A route manager queries network elements to identify egress routes and external nodes coupled to the network elements. The route manager queries a database to identify telephone numbers associated with the external nodes. For each telephone number associated with an external node, the route manager associates the telephone number with the egress routes coupled to the external node and with the network elements coupled to the egress routes. On a call, the route manager selects one of the network elements and the egress routes associated with the telephone number.
