Since the beginning of the 90’ s Intelligent Networks (IN)have been deployed in telecommunication networks worldwide for the realisation of value-added services in circuit switched networks.In today ’s marketplace, evolutionary trends in IN and the growth of the Internet,have the potential to make a wide range of advanced services available to consumers.To facilitate this,a new service architecture providing an environment for the development of integrated IN-Internet services is proposed here.This new service architecture combines the best parts of IN and the Internet.It will evolve from current industry initiatives and developments and from existing products focussed on the integration of IN and Internet such,that today ’s gateways and switches will provide access to tomorrows services and platforms.
