A NETWORK SERVER PLATFORM FOR A HYBRID FIBER TWISTED PAIR LOOP NETWORK SERVICE ARCHITECTURE

摘要

This invention provides a network server platform forming part of a new local lo op network architecture designed to overcome the limitations of current art local a ccess loop technologies. This invention allows end users to seamlessly connect to the numer ous disparate networks in order to access the multiplicity of services that these ne tworks have to offer. The network server platform allows interconnection between networks wi th varying networking protocols. The network server platform is a key component of the new architecture and interacts to allow for easy and seamless integration with netwo rk components on both the local access level as well as the core network. The netw ork server platform offers external networking capabilities to the local access network. As a result, the local access network terminates on the network server platform. The network serv er platform provides subscribers or end users the capabilities to access services f rom a multiplicity of disparate networks offering a variety of services.
