<p>An illustrative intelligent network (12) and method for providing voice telephony over ATM and alias addressing are provided that can provide significant advantages. The intelligent network (12) includes a multi-service control point (44), an ATM signaling intercept processor (10), and a service administration (48). The multi-service control point (44) receives an input extracted from an input ATM setup message that includes a called party phone number value and a VToA designator, and generates an alias ATM address of a called party CPE that corresponds to a network gateway (30) in communication with a PSTN switch (68) through a plurality of trunk lines and a desired trunk line of the plurality of trunk lines. The multi-service control point (44) generates an output in response that will be used to generate an output ATM setup message that includes the alias ATM address.</p> |
