1. An intermediary system for interconnecting multiple IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks, comprising: a protocol engine complex having at least one input unit selectably connectable to a first IMS network from which a message is received; said protocol engine complex having at least one output unit selectably connectable to a second IMS network through which said message can reach a destination address; a process, routing, and switching (PRS) complex operable to manipulate aspects of, and alter at least a portion of, said message received from said input unit and sent to said output unit; and a switching complex director operable to selectably deposit incoming traffic from said protocol engine complex on one or more queues for subsequent processing by said PRS complex, and selectably operable to remove processed traffic from said one or more queues for return to said protocol engine complex, wherein said PRS complex performs a routing operation based on a destination address of said message.
