Abstract
A process of providing operation oriented common signaling information services supports a plurality of different types of network distributed signaling functions in a network. The process includes the steps of: instantiating a class of network objects in a plurality of network entities forming a community, each of the network entities in the community having at least one of the network objects of the class, the class of network objects for modeling a corresponding one of the network distributed signaling functions; and providing a transparent operation oriented interface between the network objects of the network entities of the community, the operation oriented interface enabling interoperations between the network objects. At least one of the network objects is associated with a corresponding managed object that is mapped to the corresponding network object by public attributes of the corresponding network object. Each of the network objects includes external methods for accessing managed objects associated with other ones of the network objects via the transparent operation oriented interface. The external methods perform network operations, and are operative to invoke the perf…
