1. A communication network, comprising:

  • local communication lines;

    a plurality of separately located central office switching systems interconnected via trunk circuits for selectively providing switched call connections between at least two of the local communication lines;

    a services control point, separate from the central office switching systems, comprising a database storing call processing data associated with a plurality of the local communication lines for control of call processing through one or more of the central office switching systems;

    a first signalling communication system for two-way communications of data messages, said first signalling communication system interconnecting the central office switching systems and connecting the central office switching systems to the services control point;

    a peripheral platform connected to at least one of the central office switching systems via a call connection channel, said peripheral platform comprising means for providing at least one auxiliary call processing capability via the call connection channel; and

    a second signalling communication system, separate from the first signalling communication system and the central office switching systems, for providing two-way communications of data messages between the peripheral platform and the services control point to control provision of the at least one call processing capability by the peripheral platform.
