Control type or service independent building block

An intelligent network having one or more network components, the intelligent network comprising:

• switching points, in which the actual switching of calls is made and in which data relating to calls and event signals indicating various events relating to the calls, including setup, establishment and end of calls, are generated;
• service points associated with the one or more network components, the service points connected to the switching points for receiving data relating to calls and event signals and for controlling switching points, each service point comprising a service function for processing events relating to calls, for which input data are obtained from the switching points, each service function comprising predefined building blocks, which are executed for specific events relating to a call;
• a server comprising a function, the server being connected to the one or more network components only at a service point;
• the service function in the service point comprising a remote procedure building block, the remote procedure building block, when it is executed for an event relating to a call, being arranged to transfer data relating to the call to a first data buffer;
• the function in the server being arranged to access the data buffer, to process the data and store the data in a second data buffer;
• the remote procedure building block being arranged to access the second data buffer and make the processed data available to other building blocks as call data used in the respective processing therein.
