Abstract
Disclosed herein are techniques that enhance call handling by an application server. The techniques include segmenting an application into domains having associated domain policies. Such domains can include subscriber domains, service domains, device domains, and so forth. Application of the domain policies can, for example, enable different business entities to offer services from the same application server without losing control over call handling.
