Abstract

A modular communications platform and method for processing a communications command are described. The communications platform provides an infrastructure for telephony service providers. The platform includes a connection logic control module for supporting network services, a service logic control module for providing call control support, a subscriber and policy service module to respond to subscriber and policy requests, and an FCAPS module to execute fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security functions. The method can include the steps of receiving a communications command, generating an authentication request, generating an approval to the authentication request if the communications command is from an approved source, generating a billing request, generating a CPL script, generating instructions based on the CPL script, processing the instructions, generating a status report, and processing the billing request and a status report.
