Abstract

An explanation is given of a method for operating a telecommunications network in which a network element at a network node of a telecommunications network is controlled by a switching computer. Event messages containing details about events occurring during the operation of the computer are generated in the computer. In the course of relaying the event messages, a sequence of destinations is used in which each destination occurs only once. Conditions for the destinations are tested using the details in the event messages in the order prescribed by the sequence.
