Telecommunication systems should be able to handle different protocols. Thereto, with a first protocol being Internet Protocol v6 using 128-bit addresses of a first kind and with a second protocol being Internet Protocol v4 using 32-bit addresses of a second kind, an access system (1) is provided with a generating section (21) for, in response to an address of one kind, generating a corresponding address of an other kind for a terminal-to-terminal communication and independently of which terminal has initiated said terminal-to-terminal communication. For a set-up phase, a replacing section (22) replaces addresses of a second kind by corresponding addresses of a first kind, and an adding section (23) adds, in addition to addresses of a first kind, corresponding addresses of a second kind, in set-up messages. For a communication phase, activating sections (24,25) activate translating sections (11,12), which translating sections (11,12) translate addresses of one kind into addresses of an other kind, in packets.
Telecommunication system comprising a first access system (1) for first communication with a first terminal (3,4,5) and a second access system (2) coupled to said first access system (1) for second communication with a second terminal (6,7,8), which first communication comprises first packets comprising addresses of a first kind and which second communication comprises either first packets comprising addresses of a first kind or second packets comprising addresses of a second kind, characterised in that said first communication is in accordance with a first protocol and said second communication is in accordance with said first protocol or a second protocol, with addresses of a first kind having a first length and with addresses of a second kind having a second length smaller than said first length, and with said first access system (1) comprising a generating section (21) for, in response to an address of one kind, generating a corresponding address of an other kind for a terminal-to-terminal communication comprising said first and second communication and independently of which terminal has initiated said terminal-to-terminal communication.
Access system (1) for use in a telecommunication system comprising a first access system (1) for first communication with a first terminal (3,4,5) and a second access system (2) coupled to said first access system (1) for second communication with a second terminal (6,7,8), which first communication comprises first packets comprising addresses of a first kind and which second communication comprises either first packets comprising addresses of a first kind or second packets comprising addresses of a second kind, characterised in that said first communication is in accordance with a first protocol and said second communication is in accordance with said first protocol or a second protocol, with addresses of a first kind having a first length and with addresses of a second kind having a second length smaller than said first length, and with said access system (1) comprising a generating section (21) for, in response to an address of one kind, generating a corresponding address of an other kind for a terminal-to-terminal communication comprising said first and second communication and independently of which terminal has initiated said terminal-to-terminal communication.
Server (14) for use in a telecommunication system comprising a first access system (1) for first communication with a first terminal (3,4,5) and a second access system (2) coupled to said first access system (1) for second communication with a second terminal (6,7,8), which first communication comprises first packets comprising addresses of a first kind and which second communication comprises either first packets comprising addresses of a first kind or second packets comprising addresses of a second kind, characterised in that said first communication is in accordance with a first protocol and said second communication is in accordance with said first protocol or a second protocol, with addresses of a first kind having a first length and with addresses of a second kind having a second length smaller than said first length, and with said server (14) comprising a generating section (21) for, in response to an address of one kind, generating a corresponding address of an other kind for a terminal-to-terminal communication comprising said first and second communication and independently of which terminal has initiated said terminal-to-terminal communication.
First translating section (11) for use in a telecommunication system comprising a first access system (1) for first communication with a first terminal (3,4,5) and a second access system (2) coupled to said first access system (1) for second communication with a second terminal (6,7,8), which first communication comprises first packets comprising addresses of a first kind and which second communication comprises either first packets comprising addresses of a first kind or second packets comprising addresses of a second kind, characterised in that said first communication is in accordance with a first-protocol and said second communication is in accordance with said first protocol or a second protocol, with addresses of a first kind having a first length and with addresses of a second kind having a second length smaller than said first length, with said first access system (1) comprising a generating section (21) for, in response to an address of one kind, generating a corresponding address of an other kind, and with said first access system (1) comprising said first translating section (11) for, in response to a receival of a second packet, translating an address of a second kind into an address of a first kind for a terminal-to-terminal communication comprising said first and second communication and independently of which terminal has initiated said terminal-to-terminal communication.
Second translating section (12) for use in a telecommunication system comprising a first access system (1) for first communication with a first terminal (3,4,5) and a second access system (2) coupled to said first access system (1) for second communication with a second terminal (6,7,8), which first communication comprises first packets comprising addresses of a first kind and which second communication comprises either first packets comprising addresses of a first kind or second packets comprising addresses of a second kind, characterised in that said first communication is in accordance with a first protocol and said second communication is in accordance with said first protocol or a second protocol, with addresses of a first kind having a first length and with addresses of a second kind having a second length smaller than said first length, with said first access system (1) comprising a generating section (21) for, in response to an address of one kind, generating a corresponding address of an other kind, and with said first access system (1) comprising said second translating section (12) coupled to said generating section (21) for, in response to a receival of a first packet, translating an address of a first kind into an address of a second kind for a terminal-to-terminal communication comprising said first and second communication and independently of which terminal has initiated said terminal-to-terminal communication.
Method for use in a telecommunication system comprising a first access system (1) for first communication with a first terminal (3,4,5) and a second access system (2) coupled to said first access system (1) for second communication with a second terminal (6,7,8), which first communication comprises first packets comprising addresses of a first kind and which second communication comprises either first packets comprising addresses of a first kind or second packets comprising addresses of a second kind, characterised in that said first communication is in accordance with a first protocol and said second communication is in accordance with said first protocol or a second protocol, with addresses of a first kind having a first length and with addresses of a second kind having a second length smaller than said first length, and with said method comprising a step of, in response to an address of one kind, generating a corresponding address of an other kind for a terminal-to-terminal communication comprising said first and second communication and independently of which terminal has initiated said terminal-to-terminal communication.
