[comp.dcom.telecom] References Needed Re New Nodes in Modern Networks

mdawson@adonis.ee.queensu.ca (Michael Dawson) (06/06/90)

I am looking for pointers to papers or any other type of information
source that contains information on the function and services provided
by the new nodes in modern telephone networks.  The new types of nodes
I have heard of are the STP (sevice transfer point ?) and the SCP (a
data base of some sort ?)

I am also interested in any information on the development of the
digital cellular network.  I have noticed some discussion on the
security in the proposed scheme in the newsgroup, but I missed the
original postings.

Responses can be send to Mdawson@eleceng.ee.queensu.ca

Thanks in advance for your help,


                    Michael Dawson

Publications such as _Network World_ and _CommunicationsWeek_
regularly have such info.

Also, I suspect that Datapro's _Reports on Data Communications_ would
be a good source.
