Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of relaying traffic from a source application (46a-46c) to a targeted destination in a communications network (14, 16). The method comprises the steps of providing a first and at least one second network adapter, each providing access to a network (14, 16) having a plurality of destinations. Furthermore, a first routing table, which defines a first default destination associated with the first network adapter, is provided. Traffic from the source (46a-46c) to the targeted destination is relayed using one of the network adapters (20, 22). According to one aspect of the invention, at least one second routing table defining at least one second default destination is provided. Each second network adapter is individually associated with one second default destination. The step of relaying includes the step of selecting one of the first and second routing tables (60, 62).

Abstract: The present invention relates to network access connectivity and layer 2 tunneling protocols. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for dynamic definition of layer 2 tunneling connections comprising the steps of requiring a layer 2 tunneled connection, deducing and specifying the peers of the tunnel, and configuring and creating a layer 2 tunnel between the deduced peers. Further it relates to a layer 2 tunneling control service (L2TP_CON), a network access server (AS—0, AS—1, AS—2, AS—3), a L2TP client device (TERM, AS—0, AS—1, AS—2, AS—3), L2TP Requesting Device (TERM), and Computer Software Products.

Abstract: A telecommunication user terminal, such as a traditional telephone set or a mobile telephone, provided with a personal address book or internal database (PTD), e.g. located on a user's smart-card. The internal database has several memory locations (IA1, . . . , IA5, . . . ) each storing a call reference that may be selected as calling number by a search key entered by the user on a keyboard (KB) of the telephone. The internal database further has an extra memory location (XE) that stores an extra call reference to a second database (TDS) and that is used in case no matching is found with the other call references. The second database is an external directory service controlled by an operator or service provider. The internal and external database complement one another in a transparent way for the user owing to a fall-through selection circuit (FT) also forming part of the telephone.

Abstract: A service of a telecommunication system which is delivered upon receiving of a communication request (REQ) of an originating user (A). The communication request (REQ) is generated at a first terminal (T1-A1) of the originating user (A) and includes an identification of a terminating user (B). The service includes the steps of retrieving and comparing a request profile of the originating user and a reachability profile of the terminating user. Following the results of the comparing the service can further include any or both of the steps of: a) according to a result of the comparing, establishing a communication between a second terminal (T2-A) of the originating user and first terminal (T2-B) of the terminating user; and b) generating and providing information of the result to a third terminal (T1-A) of the originating user.
