Abstract
A device receives ordered call routing lists, receives information about a call, from an originating location, to a terminating location of a network, and determines a jurisdictional index for the call based on the originating and terminating locations and based on jurisdiction definitions of carriers associated with the network. The device also selects a route list from the ordered call routing lists based on the determined jurisdictional index and based on the terminating location, selects a route from the selected route list, and provides routing instructions to network elements associated with the selected route, where the call is routed to the terminating location via the selected route and based on the routing instructions.
