METHOD FOR PROVISIONING SUBSCRIBERS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES IN A BROADBAND NETWORK

摘要

A method for provisioning subscribers, products, and services in a broadband network includes establishing a directory system for storing information about a plurality of subscribers. The directory system includes a subscriber namespace and a device namespace. A subscriber is added by instantiating a subscriber object for the subscriber in the subscriber namespace. Each available service has its own state in the directory system to provide a multi-state provisioning system that permits granular management services.
