A telecommunication system, method, apparatus, and computer readable media
that implements an open application program interface (API) system in
which open API servers pass and receive API commands to applications
through a novel proxy. The proxy assists implementing various management
functions, such as assigning open API servers to application and
monitoring the overall system, and service contract control, all
beneficially in a transparent manner. The proxy enables the
telecommunication system to handle geographically diverse applications
and open API servers. All API command can, but need not, pass through the
proxy.
