Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9925071A2] A distributed service network provides telecommnunications and other services to users via components and services at interconnected network regions. Each region maintains a record of the services and components available in the region and utilization of these services and/or components is obtained by reference to the record. New services and components can be added to the region by updating the record, and services and components can be removed from the region, for preventative maintenance, etc., by appropriately udpdating the record. Entries in the record can be ordered to determine the order in which like components and/or services are utilized and this order can be set according to the degree of utilization of region servers on which said services and/or components are installed. It is also possible to include services and/or components at other regions, which are accessible via a communications backbone, in the record of services and components in a region.
