Methods and apparatus are described for routing transmissions from a plurality of transmission lines to a plurality of devices associated with the transmission lines. An incoming transmission is received via a first transmission line. Source information associated with the incoming transmission is determined and a data type of the incoming call is determined based on the source information. A routing protocol for the incoming transmission is then determined according to the data type and a transmission hierarchy. The incoming transmission is then routed according to the routing protocol.
