FLEXIBLE NETWORK PLATFORM AND CALL PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A flexible network platform (10a) and call processing system are disclosed. The call processing system includes a particular call processing architecture and a resource managing system. An OAM & P subsystem (94) and systems for performing data provisioning (92) and service creation are each provided. The call processing system may include a call processing mechanism for performing call processing in accordance with defined service logic, and call processing resources connected to the call processing mechanism. The call processing resources are designed so that any service logic unit may be linked to any particular event that might occur in connection with the call processing system. A resource managing system (428) is also disclosed for assigning resources in response to a request made by the call processing system for a specified capability. The resource managing system receives the request for a specified capability and allocates a logical resource object that identifies a particular resource that will support the specified resource capability.
