  • Patent number: 7006486
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunication system giving the option to a user (A1) to select desired services. A switched domain (5) for transmission of data packets has switches (SW1), to which service providers (1–4), and network terminals (NT1–NT7) are connected. The switches have a user port (Pf) through which one single physical connection is connected to an uplink port (Pe) in the network terminal (NT1). The user port (Pf) is configured for the different service providers (1–4) and the network terminals have corresponding service ports (Pc,Pd). The user (A1,8) or an operator (OP1) configures the service ports (Pc,Pd) which corresponds to the desired services (7,8). Using a policy server (PS1), which is connected to the network terminals (NT1) the traffic in these can be given priority. The data packets in the traffic which requires real time transmission, for example television (7), is given priority before data traffic on Intranet (8).

  • Patent number: 6873624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunication system enabling a user to select services. A telecommunication system having a switched domain comprising switches is disclosed. Service networks are connected to the switches and users are also connected to the switches using fines. An IP path selector and an operator are also connected to the switches. The operator forms service network groups by selecting among the service networks. The service network groups are allocated a virtual local network each by configuring the ports in the switches and the IP path selector. The users can select services by means of selecting one or several of the virtual local networks. By configuring their devices to their chosen virtual local network the user receives the services desired. The user can also change his selection of services by reconfiguring and thus connect to an alternative virtual local network.
