3. ETNO WG on Stand. Strategy HLSG MoU on interoperable European ATM services (responsible body: ETNO) EBTN European Backbone Telecommunications Network EBTN paves the way for the ATM MoU

4. CPE Network Domain A Domain B Domain C UNI Interface between network providers IWU IWF IWU ISDN Including Network Management Interfaces and Functions EBTN - Interoperable ATM Network

5. ATM service introduction needs Focus on inter-domain interoperability Guidelines needed for both the services and the management area (TMN) Use existing standards and results (e.g. from EURESCOM) as far as possible Analyse gaps and fill in missing parts Testing schemes are needed Allow Europe-wide offering of ATM services

8. P616: Enh. ATM Implem. Issues (1) Network Architecture: –Evaluation of the feasibility of PNNI 1.0 routing in a large scale network –Proposal for the implementation of the Xcoop interface over ATM Congestion Control: –Methods for supporting a multiplicity of ATM Layer Transfer Capabilities and QoS classes within the network –Connection routing algorithms –Network dimensioning principles –Methods for evaluating end-to-end performance at cell level –Parameters to characterise call level performance

9. All deliverables will be publicly available this week http://www.eurescom.de P616: Enh. ATM Implem. Issues (2) Usage Metering for Charging and Accounting: –Specification of usage metering parameters –Identification of the network measurement points –Demands on Network Elements for accounting/ billing Network Layer Protocols: –Comparison and evaluation of solutions, such as: MPOA, Tag Switching, Cell Switch Router, ARIS and IP Switching –Practical evaluation of the WinSock v2 concept –Migration strategies and Guidelines

11. Management: Validate pre-1997 ATM Concepts X i/f specs: freephone service (P406), billing accounting & charging (P407), METRAN (P408, P707), JAMES (P408, P708), trouble ticketing (P612), X i/f security (P710) X i/f experiments in PET-Lab: P408, P612, P707, P708 support to X i/f spec and implementation (E-MOL): P414, P609 mostly network management, little service management based on GDMO, ASN.1, CMIP, X.25

12. Why this Project? Results from existing and completed EURESCOM ATM Projects can be exploited. Expertise is available at EURESCOM to support the ATM MoU. EURESCOM Project Management supports work. Some additional (non-MoU) areas need to be addressed. New Project P813: ATM MoU Support for European ATM service introduction (1)

13. Finalise ATM specifications to meet requirements of ATM deployment Reintegrate service and management aspects to support ATM MoU Results will be public domain Relates to the two areas: –ATM Technology and services –Management (TMN) New Project P813: ATM MoU Support for European ATM service introduction (2)

14. Main Clients EURESCOM Shareholders ATM MoU ETSI / ITU-T / ATM Forum Expected results Requirements and technical gap analysis Test suite and acceptance test procedures Technical specifications including integration specifications P813: Support for ATM Introduction

15. P813 work items Initial gap analysis Interoperable Services, especially U and C plane issues Management for Europe-wide networks Test suites Open items, such as –Methods for call level congestion control. –Investigation of ABR. –Wireless ATM and integration of mobility.

16. P813: Current situation (1) In the services area, most specifications are availablein standards, EURESCOM etc. More work needs to be done in the management area. Simple solutions are missing in both: There is a need to provide “easier” specifications.

17. P813: Current situation (2) Testing needs to be addressed. Security needs to be addressed. One-stop shopping is desirable. How does the Internet fit into all this, or should it?

18. P813: Who are the participants So far: BT, Deutsche Telekom, Finnet Group, Hungarian Telecom, Portugal Telecom, PT Austria, Telenor Other Operators may join Involvement of non-Shareholders of EURESCOM is possible

19. ATM MoU Relationships to EURESCOM and ETSI ATM MoU (ETNO) Project EASI Technical Committee NA8 Projects P616, P707, P708, P710, P813 and others ATM issues Network management Standards for interoperable European ATM service Planned to be released around May 1998 http://www.etno.be/news/ATM_info.html

20. EURESCOM and others P813EASI (ATM MoU) Deployment (ATM MoU) Requirements results 1 2 1: Joint EASI/P813; 2: Joint MoU/EASI/P813 use DeliverablesStandards Requirements

21. EURESCOM and others Use synergy Avoid double work Maintain close co-ordination via regular joint meetings Exchange results (access to web sites etc.) Synchronise with ATM MoU
