Abstract
This paper deals with the issue of integrating the Internet with the Public Switched Telecommunication Networks in order to devise an architecture encompassing the advantages of both worlds. Key TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture) concepts like the session concept and the computational modeling concepts are used to provide the glue for such an integration. The result is the enhancement of the Internet with real-time packet delivery capability as well as advanced billing features that successfully exploit existing billing systems. Value added service features are offered to Internet End Users by means of this platform. The architecture described in this paper is currently being developed within the Italtel project called SISTINA (Solutions for Integrated Services à la TINA).
