<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for forming a communications network. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus is divided into several modules, such as logical or physical topology of the network concerning a certain specific technology, where each one of these represents one layer of the network. Depending on the network that is to be formed, necessary modules are used, i.e. a set of modules is chosen for forming the network. Certain network parts are formed in a relevant module. Each module uses resources (routes and capacities for connections) from the module below, i.e. a module that represents the layer below, and provides recourses to the module above, i.e. a module that represents the layer above. Hence, the stream of the resource is from a module only with respect to an adjacent module, and intermediate modules will be bypassed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
