<p>A communication translator that provides a bridge between operations of a first system (such as a CLEC) and operations of a second system (such as an ILEC) to implement commercial transactions. The first systems (such as a CLEC system) operate with first messages having first forms and the second systems (such as an ILEC system) operate with second messages having second forms. The communication translator includes an active message unit for processing acive ones of the messages. The active message unit includes a parser for parsing the first messages into message objects that are independent of the first and the second forms, a rules engine for processing the message objects to form processed message objects, a formatter for formatting the processed message objects, and a manager for controlling the flow of the first messages, the second messages and the message objects to cause messages to be translated between the first and second forms whereby transactions are communicated between the first systems and the second systems.</p> |
