Methods, systems, and computer readable storage devices for determining whether to handle a request for communication services by a physical telephone number mapping service or a virtual telephone number mapping service
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, whether a request associated with a specific number range should be handled by a physical telephone number mapping service instance provisioned for handling the request for the specific number range or a virtual telephone number mapping service instance provisioned for handling the request for the specific number range;
responsive to determining that the request should be handled by the physical telephone number mapping service instance,preventing, by the processor, forwarding of the request from the physical telephone number mapping service instance to the virtual telephone number mapping service instance, andinitiating halting of provisioning of virtual telephone mapping service instances; and
responsive to determining that the request should be handled by the virtual telephone number mapping service instance,preventing, by the processor, forwarding of the request from the virtual telephone number mapping service instance to the physical telephone number mapping service instance, andinitiating halting of provisioning of physical telephone number mapping service instances associated with the specific number range.

Abstract
A determination is made whether to handle a request associated with a specific number range by a physical telephone number mapping service instance provisioned for handling the request for the specific number range or a virtual telephone number mapping service instance provisioned for handling the request for the specific number range. If it is determined that the request should be handled by the physical telephone number mapping service instance, forwarding of the request from the physical telephone number mapping service instance to the virtual telephone number mapping service instance is prevented. If it is determined that the request should be handled by the virtual telephone number mapping service instance, forwarding of the request from the virtual telephone number mapping service instance to the physical telephone number mapping service instance is prevented.
