Q5/13: Network Interworking Including, IP Multiservices Networks Ghassem Koleyni, Rapporteur Q5/13 5 November 2002
Our Mandate • Consideration of IP based backbone networks and their interworking and interaction with traditional networks and associated services. • Determination of how best to carry narrow-band and broadband services in a fully integrated IP based network. • Definition of protocol requirements for interworking of services that go beyond those provided by traditional networks. Typical examples might include, distance learning, e-commerce, text to voice (and vice versa), video on demand.
Items for study • Harmonization of interworking requirements developed in the ITU-T with those developed in other standards bodies and industry organisations. • Analysis of interworking and definition of protocol requirements between the newly developed protocols and traditional networks. • Analysis of interworking and definition of protocol requirements between the newly developed approaches in a heterogeneous network environment (e.g. different service providers using different technologies in their national networks and the related interaction, such as BICC interaction with SIP).
Items for study - continued • Analysis and definition of protocol requirements for service interworking for a potential evolving set of newly defined services. • Follow up on the results initiated in Draft Recommendation Y.1401 and in the I.5xx series of recommendations.
