`AMENDMENTS TO THE CLAIMS
`
`1.
`
`(Currently amended) A process for operating a call
`
`routing controller
`
`to facilitate
`
`communication between callers and callees in a system comprising a plurality of nodes with
`
`which callers and callees are associated, the process comprising:
`
`in response to initiation of a call by a calling subscriber, receiving a caller identifier and a
`
`callee identifier;
`
`locating a caller dialing profile comprising a usemame associated with the caller and a
`
`plurality of calling attributes associated with the caller;
`
` detemimng a match when at least one of said calling
`
`attributes matches at least a portion of said callee identifier;
`
`classifying the call as a public network call when said match meets public network
`
`classification criteria and classifying the call as a private network call when said match meets
`
`private network classification criteria;
`
`when the call is classified as a private network call, producing a private network routing V
`
`message for receipt by a call controller, said private network routing message identifying an
`
`address, on the private network, associated with the callee;
`
`when the call is classified as a public network call, producing a public network routing
`
`message for receipt by the call controller, said public network routing message identifying a
`
`gateway to the public network.
`
`2.
`
`(Original) The process of claim 1 further comprising receiving a request to establish a call,
`
`from a call controller in communication with a caller identified by said callee identifier.

`
`(Previously presented) The process of claim 1 wherein determining said match comprises
`
`determining said match when said callee identifier
`
`includes a portion that matches an
`
`International Dialing Digit (IDD) associated with said caller dialing profile.
`
`7.
`
`(Previously presented) The process of claim 1 wherein determining said match comprises
`
`determining said match when said callee identifier includes a portion that matches a National
`
`Dialing Digit (NDD) associated with said caller dialing profile.
`
`8.
`
`(Previously presented) The process of claim 1 wherein determining said match comprises
`
`determining said match when said callee identifier includes a portionthat matches an area code
`
`associated with said caller dialing profile.
`
`9.
`
`(Previously presented) The process of claim 1 wherein determining said match comprises
`
`determining said match when said callee identifier has a length within a range specified in said
`
`caller dialing profile.
`
`10.(Previously presented) The process of claim 1 further comprising formatting said callee
`
`identifier into a pre-defined digit format to produce a re-formatted callee identifier.
`
`11. (Original) The process of claim 10 wherein formatting comprises removing an international
`
`dialing digit from said callee identifier, when said callee identifier begins with a digit matching
`
`an international dialing digit specified by said caller dialing profile associated with said caller.
`
`12. (Original) The process of claim 10 wherein formatting comprises removing a national
`
`dialing digit from said callee identifier and prepending a caller country code to said callee

`
`code to said callee identifier when said callee identifier begins with digits identifying an area
`
`code specified by said caller dialing profile.
`
`14. (Original) The process of claim 10 wherein formatting comprises prepending a caller country
`
`code and area code to said callee identifier when said callee identifier has a length that matches a
`
`caller dialing number format specified by said caller dialing profile and only one area code is
`
`specified as being associated with said caller in said caller dialing profile.
`
`15. (Previously presented) The process of claim 10 wherein classifying comprises classifying
`
`said call as a private network call when said re-formatted callee identifier identifies a subscriber
`
`to the private network.
`
`16. (Currently amended) The process of claim 10 wherein classifying comprises determining
`
`whether said callee identifier complies with a pre—defined usemame format and: if so; classifying
`
`the call as a private network call.
`
`17. (Currently amended) The process of claim 10 to further comprising, causing a database of
`
`records to be searched to locate a Direct-Inward-Dial (DID) bank table record associating a
`
`public telephone number with said reformatted callee identifier and if said DID bank table record
`
`is found, classifying the call as a private network call and if a DID bank table record is not found,
`
`classifying the call as a public network call.
`
`18. (Previously presented) The process of claim 17 wherein producing said private network
`routing message identifying a node on the private network comprises setting a callee identifier in
