Patent
CA 2109192
In a telecommunications management network including a network element provisioned as a so-called Directory Services Network Element (DSNE) and at least one sub-network intended to include one or more network elements, the DSNE automatically distributes the identity information of all network elements in a sub-network to all the network elements in that sub-network. Specifically, the DSNE automatically distributes all the identity information for all network elements within a sub-network to a newly registered network element and also supplies the identity information for the newly registered network element to all the other network elements within the sub-network. Since, each sub-network can be defined as a set of network elements that require significant communications with each other, distribution of the identity information for all the network elements in the sub-network to all the network elements in that sub-network significantly reduces the number of queries made to the DSNE. Furthermore, in the event of a DSNE failure, the network elements in a sub-network may still be capable of communicating with each other, thereby improving communications survivability. (FIG. 1).
