Abstract
A telecommunications system and method for the exchange of standards information facilitates communication by invoking a standards translator whenever two users within the system utilize incompatible communication technologies. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, standards information is interchanged between two communications nodes, such that the equipment at those nodes may communicate with each other directly if the same standards are used at both nodes or communicate through the aid of the standards translator when different standards are used. The system and method of the present invention, through the interchange of standards information between the nodes, minimizes communications disruptions caused by mismatched standards.
