Abstract :
The feature transaction interface and associated software structures required to support an intelligent network are addressed. A layer service logic execution environment is used to describe the operation of the feature transaction interface for provisioning intelligent network services. Included in the discussion are: the need for service creation; unbundled service logic for functional flexibility; remote operation using the SS7 network; and reduced service-provisioning intervals. Service examples using the feature transaction interface are given.<>
