Abstract :
The telephone network could be called the world´s first distributed computing network. People in telecommunications treat as second nature many of the issues just surfacing in other problem domains. This article describes some of the techniques used in the telecommunications industry to deal with highly distributed high-reliability systems. A number of recurring patterns are identified and used to describe the design of the telecommunications network and its components
