Abstract
The system separates the common administrative functions from the supervisory host applications. Each administrative function is performed by a separate administrative process that is dedicated to that function and is accessible by all the supervisory application. Thus when a supervisory process requires performance of an administrative function, it invokes operation of the corresponding administrative process. With this arrangement, only a single copy of each administrative process needs to be maintained. All communications between the administrative processes, the switching platform and/or the supervisory applications are routed through a gateway process. The gateway process then forwards the message to the appropriate process or switch and later returns the any reply results to the requesting process or application.
