Abstract
A user system for a distributed network whereby a user system which is not provided with a distributed application platform can be connected to a distributed network. A user information unit incorporates therein physical points corresponding to stream and network flow endpoints, respectively. A flow endpoint control channel connects a user signaling unit to the user information unit. The user signaling unit includes distributed communication control means, distributed network service controller, and information unit controller for controlling the user information unit by means of a flow endpoint control signal. The user information unit includes physical point linking unit, and flow endpoint control signal processing unit which cooperates with the user signaling unit by means of the flow endpoint control signal.
