Abstract
A packet-data network comprising interconnected IP Routers of various manufacture has monitoring-and-control servers directly connected to plural IP Routers and executing common software providing functions for the IP Routers. The monitoring-and-control servers are interconnected independently of the data-packet network, and share status and control information between IP Routers. Functionality of IP Routers in the network is thus standardized. In special cases the servers are telephony servers running applications providing DNT telephony functions to the IP Routers, and the functions of the IP Routers in the network is rendered platform-independent.
