Abstract :
The provision of true multi-service networks has been hampered by inflexibility in network control software, despite being both desirable and technically feasible. The Tempest is a framework that alleviates this problem by using devolved control mechanisms and strict resource partitioning to allow many different control systems to run simultaneously on one physical network. We explore the deployment of telephony services within the Tempest environment through an intelligent network (IN) control architecture (CA)-INCA. INCA is a control system that mimics a traditional IN architecture, while taking advantage of the flexibility of the Tempest to offer value-added IN services
