ABSTRACT:
A re-engineering method for standardizing data processing in a communication network while maintaining user services is disclosed. Data channels, between communicating network data processing components (hereinafter denoted operational components), are made unnecessary by systematically providing bypass data paths. The data on each bypass, transparent to its terminating operational components, is routed through a network manager communicating in a standardized protocol. The manager thereby provides centralized control of data communications and provides standardized object oriented data representations and protocols. For a selected operational component having a bypass for each data channel, the functionality of the selected operational component may be incrementally and transparently assumed by new operational components communicating with the manager. Thus, a selected operational component using nonstandard data representations and communication protocols can be isolated from other network components and deactivated while maintaining user services. The present invention is particularly useful in re-engineering telephony networks having noncentralized and nonstandardized communications between various combinations of network elements and operational support systems.
