FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU

13、. The IT-T is 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 topi

14、cs for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recornmendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). In some areas of information technology whic

15、h fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC.

28、e or more network elements. Congestion control action may be implemented in other network elements beyond those experiencing overload. 3.2 overload control: The blocking, diverting or postponing, by or within a network element, of a processing load greater than its capacity or than can be handled at

29、 the relevant Grade of Service (GOS) objective. 3.3 successful message: A message is considered to be successfully delivered if it is delivered, uncorrupted, to the appropriate destination within such a time that it does not cause malfunctioning of the application. 4 Abbreviations For the purposes o

32、A key objective in operating SS No. 7 and IN-structured networks is the maximization of the robustness of the network, that is, the ability of a network to withstand both traffic overloads and failures of network elements. While many steps can be taken to avoid the occurrence of these network stress

33、es, cases of overload or failure will nonetheless occur. During such stresses, the operation of the network should be maintained, and the level of completed traffic kept as high as possible until the stress can be relieved. I 2 Recommendation E.744 (10/96) STD-ITU-T RECMN E-744-ENGL L99b 48b2591 Ob2

34、b320 128 To achieve this goal, the network resources have to be managed in a coordinated way so as to avoid, for example, that situations of focused overload spread out to other parts of the signalling/IN network or that momentary inability to face excessive demand on the signalling network will neg

35、atively affect the IN-structured network or vice versa. The actions in the signalling/IN network are distinct from those of the circuit-switched network. Interaction between management action on signalling/IN and the circuit-switched network are for further study. This Recommendation is required bec

36、ause without properly-implemented traffic and congestion controls, the SS No. 7 and IN-structured networks may not provide sufficient protection to properly and efficiently handle the congestion and overloads that are likely to arise. Some of the characteristics motivating these controls are the fol

37、lowing: - It is difficult to prepare accurate traffic forecasts for the quantities of calls and of signalling messages. SS No. 7 networks are subject to short-term overloads that may not be addressed adequately using dimensioning and provisioning procedures only. The distributed nature of the SS No.

38、 7 and IN-structured networks, such that overloads in one location may be caused by excessive traffic offered at distant points, making single-node controls inadequate. If one service provider stimulates more traffic than can be carried, congestion could seriously affect the service provided to othe

39、r, unrelated calls being handled by different service providers. Service logic processors, having very short holding times, will be much more subject to peak loading, and will provide severely degraded performance even if overloaded by only a small proportion. - - - - This Recommendation has four ma

40、in purposes: One of the main purposes of this Recommendation is to provide guidelines and performance characterizations that should be useful in implementing standardized traffic and congestion control procedures in SS No. 7 and IN-structured networks. A number of different traffic and congestion co

41、ntrol procedures are provided in ITU-T Recommendations. These procedures generally leave key parameter values to be specified as part of the implementation. In this Recommendation information is provided as to how the different procedures perform as a function of the parameter value settings, and su

42、ggestions are made as to how the parameters should be chosen in different types of networks. A second purpose of this Recommendation is to provide general guidelines on requirements that should be placed on network elements so that networks can be made robust to unforeseen problems. In particular, t

43、he needs for overload control are addressed and considerations are made of how such controls must interrelate to network level congestion controls. Principles are provided regarding what network element capabilities should be present in order to avoid fault and congestion propagation problems and ot

44、her forms of network instability. The third purpose of this Recommendation is to provide general principles and guidelines regarding how network level and network element level control should be structured to maximize effectiveness and avoid network problems. An important consideration here is in re

45、gards to interconnecting different networks. Network level controls and network element level controls must work properly in each network as well as between networks. To keep the different systems and controls harmonized, some basic principles need to be followed. This allows for various vendor prod

46、ucts and network implementations to be interconnected with a high-level of confidence the traffic and congestion control procedures will work properly and no fault conditions will result in network instabilities. Recommendation E.744 (10/96) 3 STD-ITU-T RECMN E.744-ENGL L77b 48b257L Ob2b32L Ob4 The

47、fourth purpose of this Recommendation is to provide high-level requirements for traffic and congestion controls. Specific description and definition of the control mechanisms are covered by the Q and E.4 10-Series Recommendations. 5.2 Concept of robustness The robustness of SS No. 7 and IN-structure

48、d networks is the ability of those networks to ensure: o system sanity, i.e. to perform all critical functions necessary for the system and network to that traffic overload and failures are contained and will not propagate through the network; perform properly regardless of overload level; and o max

49、imization of successful traffic throughput under overload and failure conditions. When a system becomes overloaded, it must reduce traffic in some manner. Overload controls within a system are intended to protect the system without reliance on actions from any other network element. The other way to protect a system is to have congestion controls between network elements, where an overloaded element requests others to reduce their traffic load to it. In order to achieve network robustness, overload and congestion control techniques need to be considered for all network e
