Abstract
The system provides a distributed decentralized network architecture. Network routing is performed at each node in the network, as opposed to the centralized architecture's single POP. Each node is typically an access point to the network, and it collects the relevant traffic statistics for subscribers connecting at that node. This is accomplished by a network switching/control element contained within the (Invisible Fiber Unit) IFU. The information is collected from the switching/control element contained within the IFU. The information is collected from the switching element by the IFU's CPU. This information can then be pre-processed locally, or sent directly to a central billing facility, for further processing, eventually resulting in the creation of the subscriber's bill. Essentially, it is only billing information that flows back to a central point, rather than the data traffic itself.
