1. A method for routing a message through a signaling network associated with a Pubic Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the method comprising the steps of:

  • constructing a message for transmission to a signaling network node, the message including an address field containing a destination address and a translation type field containing an indicator that the destination address has an address format associated with a packet-switched network external to said signaling network;

    transmitting the message to the signaling network node;

    examining the translation type field of the message at the signaling network node; and

    if the indicator in the translation type field corresponds to an address format associated with the packet-switched network, translating said destination address to a translated destination address corresponding to a destination node of the signaling network, said translated destination address having an address format associated with the signaling network.
