Goals (?)
•
•

Develop new Recommendations

–
–
I.35AAL2 (Performance of AAL2 switched connections)
I.35av (B-ISDN/ATM SVC availability)
Question inactive during the current Study Period
Question 9/13
Call Processing Performance
Progress
•
•
I.358R (Call processing performance for B-ISDN SVCs)
Draft Y.1530 (Call processing performance for voice in hybrid
IP networks)
Goals
•
•
Complete Y.1530
–
–
–
Identify call processing protocol(s) for hybrid IP networks
Specialize existing (generic) parameter definitions
Specify and allocate performance objectives
Harmonize Y.1530 with TRQ.IPQoS.Sig.CS1 and E.106/Y.roec

Y.1530 has been hindered by lack of a clear protocol basis

Issue 2 -- QoS Measurement in NGNs
NGN Characteristics
•
•
Hybrid/Adaptive Infrastructure (ATM, IP, MPLS, Ethernet, …)
Numerous, Dynamic, and Complex Network Functions
–
–
–
Code, protocol, media, format conversions (some entropy reducing)
Dynamic connectivity and traffic control (mobility, capacity, QoS, ...)
Information collection and distribution (e.g., searching, browsing)
Performance Implications
•
•
More Dynamic Performance Boundaries
More Complex Measurement Issues
–
–
‘Partial Success’ and Non-Discrete Outcomes
Different information at input and output interfaces
 Perception-Based, Machine-Based Metrics Needed
Issue 3 -- NGN Traffic Management

API will request network to provide a suitable combination of traffic controls.
NGN should be adaptive so that it can respond the API’s request.
Summary -- Planning Context
Network Performance/Resource Management
Key Technologies and Future Work Areas
•
•
•
•
IP QoS -- accumulation, apportionment and signalling
MPLS -- performance, traffic and congestion control
Ethernet -- parameters, objectives, QoS classes ( SLAs)
IP/Optical -- network performance, resource management
Major Themes
• Network convergence (IP, PSTN, optical, wireless, …)
• QoS and RM interworking among different technologies
• Dynamic QoS control, multi-layer traffic engineering

Cross-cutting, integrative NP/QoS control and
resource management standards will be needed
