1. A method of transmitting telecommunications traffic between packet-switched networks and circuit-switched networks, comprising the steps of:
- generating a routing table for routing telecommunications traffic for one or more customers, the routing table including one or more routes specified for each customer, each of the routes being associated with a customer identifier;
associating identifying information of each packet-switched network with a customer identifier;
receiving, from a gateway of a packet-switched network, telecommunications traffic including information identifying the packet-switched network;
identifying the customer identifier associated with the packet-switched network identifying information; and
selecting by a network switch one of the plurality of circuit-switched networks for receiving the telecommunications traffic based on the routing table and the identified customer identifier.

Abstract
A system for transmitting telecommunications traffic for one or more customers between packet-switched and circuit switched networks generates a routing table for routing the telecommunications traffic. The routing table includes one or more routes specified for each customer, each of the routes being identified with a customer identifier. The system associates identifying information of each packet-switched network with a customer identifier and receives from a packet-switched network telecommunications traffic including information identifying the packet-switched network. The system also identifies the customer identifier associated with the packet-switched network identifying information and selects by the network switch one of the plurality of circuit-switched networks for receiving the telecommunications traffic based on the routing table and the identified customer identifier.
