Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods and articles of manufacture for operating a single processing system node among a plurality of processing system nodes for performing distributed telecommunications. In particular, a first information data set is transferred from a first processing system node to a second processing system node via a first communications path. A second communications path is established between the first processing system node and a communications node. The second communications path is established as a function of at least a portion of the first information data set. The first and second communications paths operate to facilitate communications between the second processing system node and the communications node.
