The present invention relates to an arrangement, a network and methods for identifying the relevant SDP for a question from an SCP in a telecommunication network with a large amount of subscribers and handling and administration of a large amount of subscribers by introducing a function for intelligent routing. The intelligent routing between SCP and SDP can be handled by a node standing by itself in the network or as a part-function in an already existing node, for example an SCP. When a new subscriber shall be stored in an SDP subscriber data is transferred from the service administration to a master IRF (Intelligent Routing Function). The IRF comprises a function for determining which SDP that shall store the subscriber data and the IRF thereafter transfer the subscriber data to the SDP. The IRF also stores this information. The information is also transferred to the other IRFs. When an SCP gets a call from an SSP, the SCP contacts an IRF which contacts an SDP. |
