A distributed system for communicating between a host digital terminal and a remote terminal. The host digital terminal is coupled between a central office digital terminal and a distribution network. The remote terminal is coupled between the distribution network and a plurality of subscriber loops. The system further includes a first network interface in communication with the host digital terminal for translating between an interface group protocol and a gateway control protocol. A distribution network switching fabric routes data between the host digital terminal and the remote terminal. A second network interface is in communication with the remote terminal for performing commands received from the first network interface and responding accordingly. Such a system enhances the evolution to next-generation packet networks.
