  1. Paul Sijben Forward Looking work sijben@lucent.com The New TIPHON Architecture

  2. Outline • TIPHON Architecture evolution • Why an abstract architecture? • Overview of the new TIPHON architecture • Making it work sijben@lucent.com

  3. First TIPHON architecture (1997/8) • Physical • H.323 oriented G Back-End Services D PSTN Gatekeeper Gatekeeper F A C E1 ISDN IP Network SCN Network E2 E3 GSM B E4 Terminal Gateway PISN sijben@lucent.com

  4. Second TIPHON Architecture (1998/9) • Includes decomposed gateways GK GK BackEnd D G A C F E.b J Media GW Signalling Controller GW N B Media GW H.323 E.a Terminal sijben@lucent.com

  5. Why something else? • Goal: universal service offering over multiple technologies • Physical architecture is constrained to one protocol, implementation technology or product concept • QoS is not an add-on, it should be dealt with everywhere • Security Aspects sijben@lucent.com

  6. New TIPHON architecture • Design principles: • standardize interfaces not business models • separate service application from transport technology • address manageability of network • Layered approach; one layer provides a service to the next sijben@lucent.com

  7. SCN Plane Management Plane Transport plane Transport Plane Application Plane Planes (Major Functional View) • Planes are a means to functionally structure the problem space • Interfaces between the planes may be interfaces between business entities • Implementations may span planes Service architecture, protocols sijben@lucent.com

  8. Transport Plane principles • Transport plane provides a service: QoS Transport • This service is provided commercially • The service needs to be protected from abuse • The service should be independent of the application (IP telephony, video streaming,…) • The application should be independent of the transport details (QoS mechanism, technology) sijben@lucent.com

Endpoint Network Application Application Application TU TPE TU TPE T2 TRM T1 T2 I6 I4 I6 I4 I1 I2 TRM TRM I3 I3 I5 I3 I5 I3 I3 I5 TF ICF ICF ICF TF ICF ICF User transport domain Core transport domain Transport plane functionality Network Usage accounting Policy management The customer Application Plane TransportService TransportControl TF Transportflows Ingress transport domain Protection (e.g. firewalls) Transport Functionality (e.g. routers) Control of the system (access control, metering) sijben@lucent.com

  10. Application plane principles • Service application consists of service capabilities • service capabilities are distributed • user equipment, VoIP servers, ASP servers… • Layered approach • NOT T-model • capabilities are like LEGO sijben@lucent.com

  11. Static service related information. (e.g. databases for user profiles, call routing tables). Services Active service related functionality (e.g. terminal registration and call routing) Service Control Call Control Binds a set of users and a group of bearers together and maintains call state Bearer Control Control of media flow properties and media end-point addresses (e.g codec type, packetization, QoS Requirements) Media Control Media stream transmission and reception QoS Characterization & Control Layers of capabilities sijben@lucent.com

  15. Conclusion • The TIPHON architecture is future-proof • Architecture provides stability in a dynamic world • Modular approach supports rapid development • The architecture supports universal service offering over multiple technologies • The architecture supports diverse business models • Encompasses end-to-end Quality of Service & Security • Architecture is implemented using available standard protocols • More information: • http://docbox.etsi.org/tech-org/tiphon/Document/tiphon/07-drafts/wg2/RTS02009/ sijben@lucent.com
