Abstract: In call forwarding of a call there is an original calling network device, an original recipient of an incoming call, and a forwardee of the call. Systems, network devices, and methods are provided for delivering local call forwarding functionality. Each network device is capable of functioning in the capacity of any one or more of the above three roles, namely, originator, original recipient, and forwardee by providing local call forwarding functionality. In some implementations there is no central processing equipment used to provide local call forwarding functionality for forwarding calls. Furthermore, a network device may provide a call forwarding destination on behalf of another network device when the other network device cannot be reached.

Abstract: An order promising system (10) includes a commerce module (16) that receives a product inquiry from a user. The product inquiry includes a product configuration that includes a product identifier, one or more option values, and the delivery location for the product. The system (10) also includes one or more inventory engines (12) that receive the product configuration from the commerce module (16) and identify one or more products in the inventory of one or more sellers that exactly or partially match the product configuration based on one or more matching rules. The inventory engines (12) also determine a delivery date for each matching product and communicate the matching products and associated delivery dates to the commerce module (16).
