Abstract
A service capable telecommunications network permits a communications network user, user agent or another network simplified access to network communication services, based on a clear separation of transported payload information, network-based communications enhancing and enabling services, and physical network transport. Functions, functional layers and coupling of both functions and functional layers enable a simplified choice of, and access to, communication services to meet user requirements.
