AT&T's global intelligent network architecture (GINA) describes the process that will set the direction to support basic features and architectures for a global intelligent network (IN) in AT&T Network Systems. An IN contains network elements that enable service logic, data, and service resources to be distributed in the network. GINA bridges the gap between today's network offerings and future platform IN offerings for AT&T Network Systems products worldwide. This paper describes the IN architecture we are striving to achieve and the underlying technology needed to realize it on a global scale.
