Abstract: An access network comprises a plurality of access nodes (DSLAMs), a plurality of network access servers (CP BRASs) and an ANCP relay. The access network control relay component relays data between an access node and a plurality of network access servers and includes one or more interfaces and associated functionality in an ANCP listener component for enabling a connection between the relay component and the access node, for transmitting data and/or messages thereover, and an interface (ANCP Agents) for a connection to be made with each of the plurality of network access servers (via ANCP listeners contained within the BRASs) for transmitting ANCP messages thereover; and a mapping database for storing mapping data to determine to which network access server a message should be transmitted from the relay component, together with a CP authentication database and a workflow processing component for controlling operation of components within the ANCP relay.

Abstract translation: 接入网络包括多个接入节点（DSLAM），多个网络接入服务器（CP BRAS）和ANCP中继。 接入网络控制中继组件在接入节点和多个网络接入服务器之间中继数据，并且在ANCP监听器组件中包括一个或多个接口和相关联的功能，用于实现中继组件与接入节点之间的连接，用于发送数据和 和/或其上的消息，以及用于通过多个网络接入服务器中的每一个（经由包含在BRAS内的ANCP监听器）进行连接的接口（ANCP Agents），用于在其上发送ANCP消息; 以及映射数据库，用于存储映射数据，以及用于控制ANCP中继器内的组件的操作的CP认证数据库和工作流处理组件，确定哪个网络接入服务器应该从中继组件发送消息。
