Telecommunications Equipment (30) that contains one or more Virtual Network logical entities (3). Physical network resources, which may include packet (34) or circuit (35) based traffic channels or media processing (37) facilities, are represented by one or more Virtual Network entities in such a way that the service logic on application servers (1) views the Virtual Network as if it was an autonomous physical network. Advantageously, the invention allows for hierarchical and multi-tenancy implementations of Virtual Networks entities, and for autonomous management of each Virtual Network. |
