System and method for providing peer-oriented control of telecommunications services
First Claim
1. In a telecommunications and data 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, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at the first peer element an indication of the type of telecommunications service to be provided between the first peer element and the second peer element;
determining a telecommunications service template in association with the indicated telecommunications service, 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, the telecommunications service template further comprising routing instructions for the non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment and routing instructions for the participating elements of the telecommunications network environment;
executing the instructions to configure the participating elements and non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment to provide the telecommunications service; and
transmitting data between the first peer element and the second peer element via a predefined transmission protocol indicated by the telecommunications service template, the data including the routing instructions for the non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment in a first portion of the predefined transmission protocol and the routing instructions for the participating elements of the telecommunications network environment in a second portion of the predefined transmission protocol.

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. The telecommunications service template may further comprise routing instructions for the non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment and routing instructions for the participating elements of the telecommunications network environment. The instructions to configure the participating elements and non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment are executed to provide the telecommunications service.

11. A system for providing a telecommunication service between a first peer element and a second peer element, the system comprising:
-
a first peer element connected to a first network interface, wherein the first peer element comprises means for determining a telecommunications service template in association with the telecommunications service, the telecommunications service template comprising instructions for configuring the non-participating network to provide the telecommunications service and instructions for configuring the participating network, the telecommunications service template further comprising routing instructions for the non-participating network and the participating network, and an executing means to configure the participating elements and non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment to provide the telecommunications service;
a second peer element connected to a second network interface;
at least one participating network interconnecting first network interface and the second network interface; and
at least one non-participating network interconnecting first peer clement and the second peer element and an edge network that is non-participating.
