Abstract: A method and a device for data communication between a first instance and a network are provided, wherein the first instance is connected via a first interface with the network. In the novel method, the first instance is connected with the network via at least one second interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for storing and passing on multimedia messages for a multimedia call in a packet-switching telecommunication network (TN), with the called subscriber (B subscriber) having network access with a known and predetermined bandwidth to the telecommunication network (TN). In the situation where it is found (1) during the setting up of a multimedia call that the available bandwidth is too narrow (2, 3) because the called subscriber (B subscriber) is currently using a further multimedia service, the multimedia call is diverted (4) to a recording device (ABZ) which is available in the telecommunication network (TN). A calling subscriber (A subscriber) can then leave a multimedia message on the recording device (ABZ), which is then passed (5) to a local recording device (ABL) for the called subscriber (B subscriber) via the network access and using the bandwidth that is still available.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a method and an apparatus for avoiding incorrect classification of desired messages as spam-over-Internet-telephony messages, SPIT messages for short, and accordingly a connection request is forwarded within communication networks from a terminal belonging to a first subscriber to a terminal belonging to a second subscriber, a first communication network being a home communication network for the first subscriber, and the first subscriber's terminal being in a registration state which characterizes that communication network in which the first subscriber's terminal is registered at the time of the connection request, where subscriber-related information, falsifying the identity of the first subscriber, which the connection request holds regarding the registration state of the first subscriber's terminal gives rise to the possibility of incorrect classification of the connection request by the second subscriber.

Abstract: DSL methods, e.g. ADSL/SDSL, are increasingly used for quick access to the Internet. A data terminal of the subscriber is connected via a conventional copper twin wire to an access multiplexer by means of a modem. The access multiplexer is placed in an access node of the network provider, which provides the connection for the subscriber. Typically, the digital subscriber lines of a number of subscribers are connected via corresponding interface modules of the access multiplexer. The linking of the access multiplexer to downstream network elements is effected by means of an Ethernet network that is cost-effective with regard to both design and operation.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for controlling communication in a decentralized network (P2P), in which reciprocal decentralized communication is provided for a multiplicity of network elements (C1, C2, C3, C4, CX). In this case, provision is made for at least one identity code which is unique in the decentralized network (P2P) to be assigned to a user of a first network element (C1), for at least one user group to be able to be assigned to the identity code, and for a profile for defining communication settings to be assigned to a user group.
