1. A telecommunications signaling processor system that processes telecommunications signaling messages to select asynchronous transfer mode virtual connections and provide control messages indicating the selected asynchronous transfer mode virtual connections, the system comprising:

  • a computer system that is operational to store data structures and execute stored logic;

    a call control data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to individual calls;

    a circuit data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to telecommunications connections;

    an exception data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to call route exceptions;

    a caller number data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to caller numbers;

    a called number data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to called numbers;

    a called number screening data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to a trigger detection point for a ported number query;

    a local routing number data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to routing requirements for a ported number;

    a routing data structure that is stored in the computer system and that contains information pertinent to call route selections;

    originating process logic that is stored in the computer system and that is operational to process information from signaling messages that relate to an originating circuit and to access the data structures in order to request a terminating asynchronous transfer mode virtual connection; and

    terminating process logic that is stored in the computer system and that is operational to process information from signaling messages to select the terminating asynchronous transfer mode virtual connection in response to the request from the originating process logic.
