Abstract

In a telecommunications network environment including non-participating elements and participating elements, a method for providing a telecommunications service between a first peer element connected to the telecommunications network environment and a second peer element connected to the telecommunications network. At a first peer element, an indication of the type of telecommunications service to be provided between the first peer element and the second peer element is received. A telecommunications service template in association with the indicated telecommunications service is determined, the telecommunications service template including instructions for configuring the non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment to provide the indicated telecommunications service and instructions for configuring the participating elements of the telecommunications network environment. Upon establishing a communication channel between the first peer element and the second peer element, the service template is transferred to the second peer element. The second peer element then executes the instructions to configure the participating elements and non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment to provide the telecommunications service.

Claims

1. A method for establishing a telecommunication service between a first peer element and a second peer element in a network including participating and non-participating elements comprising the steps of:

receiving at said first peer element a telecommunication service request from a user;

determining in response to said telecommunication service request a telecommunication service template including instructions for configuring the non-participating elements, routing instructions for the participating and non-participating elements;

establishing a communication channel between said first peer element and said second peer element;

transferring said service template from said first peer element to said second peer element; and

executing at least one of said instructions at said second peer element.
