Study Group 13 mandate
• Multi-protocol and IP-based networks and their
internetworking
• Responsible for studies relating to internetworking
of heterogeneous networks encompassing multiple
domains, multiple protocols and innovative
technologies with a goal to deliver high-quality,
reliable networking. Specific aspects are
architecture, interworking and adaptation, end-toend considerations, routing and requirements for
transport.
Lucent Technologies
Mission
Bell Labs Innovations
• To provide a focal point in ITU for
technology-independent network
architecture and long-term evolution
studies, including IP-network studies,
through development of the necessary
frameworks and architectures, coordination
with the various related studies in the other
ITU Study Groups and collaboration with
other standards bodies.
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
• To help ITU-T continue to respond to the
changes to studies and priorities necessary
to integrate traditional telecommunication
networks with IP-based networks in order
to provide full integration of services and
applications to end users. Also, to give
network providers the tools and information
to support the market-driven changes to the
telecommunication industry.
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
• To conduct IP-related studies focusing on
network architecture, network capabilities,
network evolution, service and
performance aspects, and access
arrangements to achieve interoperability in
the multi-vendor and multi-networkoperator environments.
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
Particular areas of study key to this
evolution are IP-based network
architectures, IP-based network
performance, IP transfer capabilities,
IP-VPN (virtual private network)
services, IP-based network resource
management and access
arrangements.
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
• To conduct the remaining studies in the
area of B-ISDN resource management,
performance and the ATM Layer and its
adaptation and interworking.
• To encourage harmonisation of IPrelated and GII studies across the ITU-T
study groups through the evolution and
further development of the ITU-T IP and
GII projects.
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
• To collaborate with other
standardisation bodies in identifying
gaps in the standardisation programmes
concerning IP networking and to
develop proposals and
Recommendations to advance the
necessary work.

GII Aspects
• The objectives of the GII
• Driving forces, trends and directions
• The role of the ITU
• The current situation
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
GII Objectives
The GII must be designed to:
• enable information providers and users
(e.g. individuals, information users,
information providers, and information
service providers) to communicate
securely with each other any time and
anywhere at acceptable cost and with
acceptable quality
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
• provide a set of communication services
• support a multitude of open applications
• embrace all forms of information and
information generation (audio, text, data,
image, video, etc.) and of its use and
transportation
• operate in a transparent, user-friendly
and straightforward way
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
• provide seamless, interconnected and
interoperable communication networks,
information processing equipment, databases and terminals (including TV-sets)
• enable competition between the players
in the information and
telecommunications (including
broadcasting) sectors
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
Driving Forces
• the convergence of technologies in use
within telecommunications, computers,
consumer electronics and the move of
content provision industries towards digital
technology
• the new business opportunities, created by
the unbundling of services made possible
or necessary by deregulation, and other
commercial and/or open market pressures
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
Teledensity
• Industrialised countries - 48 (18)
• Middle income countries - 10 (2.3)
• Least developed countries - 1.5 (0.01)
• World average - 11.5
– (PCs per 100 inhabitants)
Lucent Technologies
Bell Labs Innovations
Trends and Directions
• The GII will not, initially, require or
employ new network capabilities, but
will define how a multiplicity of existing
capabilities will interwork in the context
of a "federation of networks". However,
standardisation activities related to the
GII must permit new network
capabilities and technologies to be
introduced.

The role of the ITU
• The goal of the ITU is to play a
"catalytic role" in facilitating the
development of truly global information
infrastructures through its work on
standardisation, by offering a platform
for discussions of a general regulatory
framework and as a link between
developed and developing countries.
