SUMMARYThe spectrum of potential value added services over Internet telephony is wide, but the current service provision solutions are inadequate or proprietary. The nature of Internet differs significantly from that of circuit switched network, however, VoIP architectures can capitalize service control architectures in the PSTN world. We describe such an architecture based on the intelligent network and the Parlay, employing distributed objects and mobile agents as enabling technologies. This architecture has been implemented in the PSTN and the Internet and it has provided a framework for service provisioning, augmenting the space of supported services.
