Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing terminating services to calls is disclosed. In a first embodiment, a service broker in a VoIP network determines service match information corresponding to the call that originates in a PSTN network in order to determine whether terminating services are required for the call. The service broker then forwards that service match information to an application server where the required terminating services, if any, are applied to the call. The application server then forwards the call and the results of any applied terminating services to a CCE in order to continue call set up. In a second embodiment the call originates in an IP network.
