Method of connecting a plurality of virtual networks
First Claim
1. A method of connecting a plurality of virtual networks, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a plurality of digits at a first service switching point in a first local access and transport area;
(b) sending a query from the first service switching point to a switching control point;
(c) when the plurality of digits result in a call that is an interLATA call, sending a response from the switching control point to the first service switching point that contains a routing instruction to a first hub service switching point;
(d) routing the interLATA call from the first service switching point to the first hub service switching point;
(e) transmitting an initial address message to the first hub service switching point;
(f) sending a second query to the switching control point from the first hub service switching point;
(g) receiving a second response from the switching control point; and
(h) routing the interLATA call over a tie line to a second hub service switching point in a second local access and transport area.

Abstract
A method using an advanced intelligent network to seamlessly connect a plurality of virtual networks includes the steps of: (a) Receiving a number of dialed digits at a first service switching point in a first local access and transport area (10); (b) When the first service switching point is determined to be a hub service switching point (22), sending a query to a service control point (24); (d) Determining if the dialed digits require an access to a private networks interLATA call; and (e) When the dialed digits require access to the private networks interLATA call, routing the call over a tie line (40) to a second hub service switching point (34) in a second local access and transport area (26).

19. A method of connecting a plurality of virtual networks, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) selecting the plurality of virtual networks to connect; (b) receiving a network access request at a service switching point in a first of the plurality of virtual networks; (c) determining if the network access request is an interLATA request; (d) when the network access request is the interLATA request, routing a network connection to a hub service switching point; (e) determining if the network access request is to a second of the plurality of virtual networks; and (f) when the network address request is to the second of the plurality of virtual networks, sending a routing instruction to the hub service switching point. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
