1. An intelligent service peripheral for a telecommunications network, comprising:

  • a service intelligence unit having a service processor manager module and a signaling module, the signaling module operable to receive signaling messages originating at a service switching point, the signaling messages including a request for a particular type of service associated with an Advanced Intelligent Network call, the service processor manager module providing a call model for the protocol associated with each service request, the service processor manager module operable to determine a routing package for the service request in response to call model processing, the signaling module operable to transmit the routing package to the service switching point in order to allow connection of the call to its desired destination; and

    a media processing unit having a media processor manager module, a carrier interface module, and a resource module, the service processor manager module operable to route service requests requiring special handling to the media processor manager module, the media processor manager module operable to process the service request and connect the call to the carrier interface module, the carrier interface module operable to provide various basic features capable of exchanging information with an originator of the call in accordance with the service request, the carrier interface module operable to interface with the resource module in order to provide various enhanced features for the call capable of exchanging information with the originator of the call and not supported by the carrier interface module, the media processor manager module operable to determine the routing package for the call in response to execution of the features provided by the carrier interface module and the resource module, the media processing unit operable to provide the routing package to the service intelligence unit for appropriate transmission to the service switching point in order to complete connection of the call to its desired destination, the service intelligence unit and the media processing unit determining connection of the call separate and independent of any service control point in the telecommunications network.
