ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of managing a call through a telecommunications network (10) between an access terminal (18) connected to the network (10) and means (22) for providing a service through the network. Said means comprise firstly a multiplicity of terminals (24, 26) connected to the network, said terminals forming servers suitable for providing the service, and secondly means (28) for selecting amongst said multiplicity of servers (24, 26) the server that is best suited for providing the service to the access terminal (18). The call is also set up using a communications protocol enabling some terminals to be mobile by allocating each mobile terminal a main address that is invariable regardless of its point of connection to the network and by forwarding all of the data sent to said main address to the corresponding terminal. A common main address is allocated to the service provider means (22), and all of the data sent to the main address is forwarded to the server (24, 26) selected as being the best suited for providing said service.
