The Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the IT. The ITU-T is
12、responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study b
13、y the IT-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary s
14、tandards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The draws attention to the possibi
15、lity that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by IT members or others outside of the
16、Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, the ITU hadhad not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest

These
22、 methods are required to allocate and control resources in the B-ISDN in order to carry the offered traffic (modelled in theE.710Series of Recommendations) while meeting the GOS objectives (to be defined in the E.720-Series of Recommendations). This Recommendation introduces the subject, describes t
23、he network aspects that are relevant for traffic engineering, states the relation between the cell-level traffic controls (described in Recommendation E.736) and call-level traffic controls and dimensioning (described in Recommendation E.737), and gives guidelines on strategies for network configura
24、tions using the VP concept. In this present issue, only the user plane is considered. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

37、d with the implementation of the network. These questions affect decisions to be taken at different time scales and will be treated in different B-ISDN Recommendations of the E.730- and E.740-Series. They may be enumerated as follows: e e e e e e 6 First, a network topology must be defined. This lar
38、gely depends on the operators policy and is out of the scope of the E.730- and E.740-Series of Recommendations. For a given traffic and a given network topology, the operator may want to define network-to-network virtual paths in order to carry user-to-user VC connections with appreciable gains in t
39、erms of control costs, easier network reconfigurations and possible subnetwork segregation. Guidelines for this VP configuration are given in this Recommendation. This question provides input for VP dimensioning. Network dimensioning involves the dimensioning of the physical network elements, partic
40、ularly ATM link sets (including bandwidth and buffer dimensioning), and will be considered in Recommendation E.737. VP dimensioning relates to the dimensioning of the network-to-network virtual paths defined by the operator, and is considered in Recommendation E.737. The objective is to determine th
41、e number of network-to-network virtual paths in the VP configuration and to assign capacity parameters to them. Caii-level traffic controls must be specified in order to guarantee the required call-level GOS objectives. This involves defining the routing, service protection mechanisms and network ma
42、nagement. Recommendation E.737 deds with the aspects of these controls more related with dimensioning, namely service protection mechanisms and some aspects of routing. Network management controls are out of scope of the E.730- and E.740-Series of Recommendations. Ceii-level traffic controls must be
43、 specified in order for the network to provide the required cell-level GOS objectives and minimize the resources needed for that target. The definition of these traffic controls provides input for VP dimensioning and network dimensioning, because it gives information on the amount of resources neede
44、d by a connection to satisfy the cell-level GOS objectives. This problem is treated in Recommendation E.736. General considerations on B-ISDN networks In B-ISDNs some functionalities, entities and architecturai principles are distinctive of these networks and must be taken into account in engineerin
45、g. These topics are examined in this clause from the viewpoint of their relations with traffic engineering. 6.1 Layers and levels in the network As stated in Recommendation 1.31 1, the ATM transport network is structured in two layers, namely the physical layer and the ATM layer. For traffic enginee
46、ring, the upper level of the physical layer, the Transmission Path (TP) level, and the two levels of the ATM layer, the Virtual Path (VP) level and the Virtual Channel (VC) level, are significant (see Figure 6-1).
