Abstract

A central office point of delivery within a broadband access network of a telecommunications network includes: access network facing nodes; and a control function and/or a switching fabric and/or service edge nodes. Execution of network attachment tasks and/or further functional or configuration tasks within the central office point of delivery involves using an execution state database as well as stateless execution service functionalities being assigned to different execution stages realized within the central office point of delivery, and a message bus connecting the different execution stages, wherein the execution stages comprise at least an access stage, a processing stage, and a device stage, wherein the execution service functionalities—in order to process or execute the network attachment tasks and/or further functional or configuration tasks—generate a plurality of messages on the message bus and consume a plurality of messages from the message bus.
