`
`comprising a plurality of calling attributes associated with the caller;
`
`when at least one of said calling attributes and at least a portion of a callee
`
`identifier associated with the callee meet private networkclassification criteria, producing
`
`a private network routing message for receipt by a call controller, said private network
`
`routing message identifying an address, on the private network, associated with the callee;
`and
`|
`
`whenat least one of said calling attributes and at least a portion of said callee
`
`identifier meet a public network classification criterion, producing a public network
`
`routing message for receipt by the call controller, said public network routing message
`
`identifying a gateway to the public network.
