Networks convergence is now a very discussed subject. The interaction between the Internet and traditional networks announces the emergence of a set of seroices which are to be very attractive for the end-user. Mechanisms offtring advanced telepho11_Y systems on the Internet are ana/ysed in this dissertation suggesting different solutions to be applied nowadqys: on the one . hand those involving the use of both networks - main/y the approaches scrutinised by the IETF - and on the other hand the implementation of higher-level systems resulting from an independent consortium and allowing the abstraction of the under/ying network. . Those different approaches are illustrated by a kry-example in which the reader is offtred the possibiliry of comparing the strong and weak points of each approach in an efficient wqy.
