1. Within an intermediary facility a server-based method for directing a quanta of data, the server-based method comprising:
- receiving the quanta of data from a sending entity, the quanta of data comprising a source address, a destination address, and a content;
based on the content, identifying a content type;
encapsulating at least the content, the content type and the destination address of the quanta of data in an internal message object (IMO);
sending to an external entity a routing request message, the routing request message comprising aspects of the quanta of data;
receiving from the external entity a routing response message, the routing response message comprising a routing indicia;
identifying, using at least aspects of the quanta of data and the routing indicia, a receiving entity; and
based on at least (a) a set of rules comprising delivery routes available to the sending entity and known to the intermediary facility, (b) the routing indicia, and (c) the content type, augmenting, within the IMO, portions of the content to be sent to the receiving entity and portions of the content to be routed back to the sending entity with at least one of;
one or more indicators, additional data elements and transformations of various data elements, de-encapsulating the content within the IMO, and returning, to the sending entity, a portion of the content that the sending entity is able to deliver to the receiving entity itself before delivery of a portion of the content from the sending entity to the receiving entity that the sending entity is unable to deliver itself.

Abstract
An intelligent routeback mechanism that may inter alia receive from an entity (such as for example a wireless carrier) aspects of the entity'"'"'s messaging traffic, data, etc. with the intelligent routeback mechanism aiding the (1) return (optionally augmented, optionally transformed, etc.) to the entity of that portion of the traffic, data, etc. that the entity is able to deliver itself and (2) delivery of that portion of the traffic, data, etc. that the entity is unable to deliver itself. Such an intelligent routeback mechanism may reside in inter alia a Messaging Inter-Carrier Vendor.

11. Within an intermediary facility a processor-based system configured to direct a quanta of data, the processor-based system comprising:
-
a first gateway configured to receive the quanta of data from a sending entity, the quanta of data comprising a source address, a destination address, and a content; workflow modules configured to perform a plurality of processing steps including at least; (a) based on the content, identify a content type, (b) encapsulating at least the content, the content type and the destination address of the quanta of data in an internal message object (IMO), (c) send, via a second gateway, to an external entity, a routing request message, the routing request message comprising aspects of the quanta of data, (d) receive from the external entity a routing response message, the routing response message comprising a routing indicia, (e) identify, using at least aspects of the quanta of data and the routing indicia, a receiving entity, (e) based on at least (a) a set of rules comprising delivery routes available to the sending entity and known to the intermediary facility, (b) the routing indicia, and (c) the content type, augmenting, within the IMO, portions of the content to be sent to the receiving entity and portions of the content to be routed back to the sending entity with at least one of;
one or more indicators, additional data elements and transformations of various data elements, de-encapsulating the content within the IMO, and returning, to the sending entity, a portion of the content that the sending entity is able to deliver to the receiving entity itself before delivery of a portion of the content from the sending entity to the receiving entity that the sending entity is unable to deliver itself;a repository configured to preserve aspects of the results of the plurality of processing steps; and an administrator configured to control the workflow modules. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
