Changes in business landscape • Changes in technology • Changes in regulation • Changes in customer perception
New Commercial Framework • Multi-service is the future • spread costs of infrastructure over many services • Services are rendered in a commercial context • user pays for the use of the service • Access provider profits from new services
Authorization & Accounting Service integration Content delivery Video Telephony Telephony Instant messaging Presence E-commerce Generic broadband TDM GPRS UMTS 10BT 100BT WLAN Transport service (access & core) NGN scope
New Technology Framework • Internet model is not the way forward! • Base technology framework on business relationships • Separate application services and transport services in orthogonal planes • Use a meta-protocol to specify the technology and interwork all applicable protocols • Shape technology by requirements on QoS, Accountability and Security
TIPHON Services Approach • Release 3: • Simple Call • Release 4: • Small-Office/Home-Office (SOHO) & High-end Residential (HiRes) • Release 5: • Next Generation (NextGen)
Protocol Independence • Goal: Seamless Service Availability • Desired Result:TIPHON services available on several technologies • H.323 • SIP • H.248 / MEGACO • BICC • etc… • Method: Meta-protocol (stage 2) driven from Service Capabilities • Technology: Profiles of existing and emerging protocols
QoS Considerations • QoS is based on subjective requirements and is Application Specific • Technical framework ensures QoS can be requested and delivered, even inter-domain • Maintain QoS even for high network load
Application Construction Some applications may be standardised (e.g. telephony) Service Applications Service Application Layer Registration Capability Service Abstraction Layer Routing Capability Service Capabilities Proprietary extensions provide differentiation and interoperability.

SCN Plane Management Plane Transport plane Transport Plane Application Plane Planes: Major Functional View Service architecture, protocols
Application plane • Provides applications over generic transport • This service needs to be protected from abuse • Structured for re-use • Design process: • Who • Identifying roles in the end to end service • What • Identifying functionality per role • Where • Mapping the role to possible physical architectures
Essential elements • Quality of Service • Determined for the application • Drives the transport plane • Transport plane is subservient to application plane • Security • Protects the user • Protects the infrastructure • Maintains performance

Transport Plane • Transport plane provides a service • QoS aware Transport (for streamed media and signaling) • Service has access control • Transport requirement is driven by the application • How the requirement is met is not of interest to the application • Open transport interface • QoS enabled transport request • Open reporting facility

Services Static service related information. (e.g. databases for user profiles, call routing tables). Active service related functionality (e.g. terminal registration and call routing) Service Control Call/ Session 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 Call Setup Paul desires a Telephony session with Mike with “Good” Quality Paul is at terminal 192.168.1.9 in realm ServiceProvider1-NL, Mike is at ServiceProvider2-UK, create a call Call between terminal 192.168.1.9 in realm ServiceProvider1-NL, and realm Mike at ServiceProvider2-UK, create call between them with “Good” Quality bidirectional audio bearer between terminal 192.168.1.9 in realm ServiceProvider1 -NL and B-party in realm ServiceProvider2 -UK, delay < 150ms, loss<….. G711 over RTP flow, 20 ms audio per packet from 192.168.1.9 to ServiceProvider1-NL interconnect, transcode at interconect to G.723, send to ServiceProvider2 -UK interconnect .etc. Transport: arranges link-link QoS packet transport for flows with given packet size with appropriate delay, loss etc
