4. Question 8/13 Transmission Error and Availability Performance Accomplishments G.821R, G.826R, G.828R, G.829R (PDH error performance) G.8201 (OTN error performance) G.827R/G.827.1R (CBR path availability) Goal (?) Develop new error performance Rec(s) for services based on 8B10B signals, e.g., Ethernet, fiber channel, ESCON, etc. * * Coordinate physical (Q8/13) and packet (Q6/13) work

5. Question 7/13 B-ISDN/ATM Cell Transfer and Availability Performance Decisions Expand I.356 to address ATM over ADSL access technology Develop I.356 text addressing ATM-IP network interworking Replace I.356 country-based with inter-operator model Goals (?) Implement planned I.356 revisions Develop new Recommendations – I.35AAL2 (Performance of AAL2 switched connections) – I.35av (B-ISDN/ATM SVC availability) Question inactive during the current Study Period

6. 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

8. 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

9. TCP(window control) IP(Diffserve,IP transfer capability) MPLS ATM(ATM transfer capability) SDH(Virtual Container) Λ(2.4G,10G,40G..) Fiber(DWDM,CDWM) Ether(Fast, Giga,) Virtual Physical UDP Two Virtual Controls May not Work Together. API API will request network to provide a suitable combination of traffic controls. NGN should be adaptive so that it can respond the APIs request. Issue 3 -- NGN Traffic Management

10. 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
