ITU-T G.9973 (08/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations s

10、pecialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on th

11、em with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-

12、T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used

13、 for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the

14、Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of a

15、ny party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Prope

16、rty Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, impleme

21、raphy. 9 Rec. ITU-T G.9973 (08/2017) 1 Recommendation ITU-T G.9973 Protocol for identifying home network topology 1 Scope Various kinds of Internet protocol (IP) terminal devices, such as personal computers (PCs), digital televisions (TVs), gaming devices, and portable music devices, have recently b

22、een, and continue to be, connected to the IP home network. Furthermore, their number is increasing. The kinds of transmission media (power line communication (PLC), wireless, unshielded twisted pair (UTP), etc.) used to connect each IP terminal are also becoming more varied. Under such circumstances

23、, most users are unable to troubleshoot the IP home network by themselves, without the availability of appropriate network services. It is desired to introduce a simple and easy IP home network management that can localize the fault in each device and network and help recover from trouble. ITU-T G.9

24、971 describes three kinds of management requirements for the IP home network: configuration management; fault management; and performance management. Based on ITU-T G.9971, this Recommendation specifies the configuration management protocol that is described in TTC JJ-300.00. This protocol is used t

25、o manage devices in the IP home network for the purpose of showing the layer 2 (L2) home network topology to users within the home network only (behind the access gateway (AGW). On the other hand, b-BBF TR-069, covering the customer premises equipment (CPE) wide area network (WAN) management protoco

26、l, is the candidate for the remote home network management protocol from outside the AGW. Although it may be necessary in the future to study the interaction between this management protocol and the CPE WAN management protocol, it lies outside the scope of this Recommendation. This Recommendation al

27、so enables fault management utilizing device information that the local agent (LA) of the device manages. This Recommendation identifies devices on a single link as shown in Figure 8-1. Note that “a single link“ means the one data link layer, which constitutes one IP domain between the AGW and the I

28、P terminal. As the deployment of new link-layer technologies such as b-IEEE 802.15.4 will enable and require the use of multiple links in the home network, this Recommendation covers multiple links composed of IP devices and may be extended to cover multiple links composed of IP and non-IP devices i

29、n the future. Home network security is important. A device using this Recommendation to collect information about the home network will be required to take certain steps to ensure that the information is not accessible through the WAN interface of the AGW. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommenda

The keyword “should“ implies that it is recommended for performance impr

38、ovement, etc. although it is not absolutely required to claim conformance. The keyword “may“ implies that it is not required to claim conformance. 6 The applied area of the protocol for identifying home network topology Figure 6-1 shows the home network area in which the protocol specified by this R

39、ecommendation is applied. Both the access network and the IP/non-IP home network behind the IP terminal lie outside the scope of this Recommendation. Moreover, the IP home network that is directly connected from the access network without the AGW also lies outside the scope. The target home network

40、is composed of the IP terminal, the network equipment and the AGW, where one or more IP terminals can be connected to the IP home network and zero or more pieces of network equipment can reside within the IP home network. The network equipment is a hardware device that has two or more ports and a fu

41、nction to transfer frames and packets received at one port to the other by using a media access control (MAC) forwarding table (e.g., Ethernet bridge). The AGW has two kinds of function: the home network side and the access network side, while it contains L2 or layer 3 (L3) functions. This Recommend

42、ation only covers configuration management on the home network side functions of the AGW. Moreover, even if the AGW contains an L3 function, such as an IP routing function, this Recommendation only covers the functions necessary for identifying L2 home network topology. Figure 6-1 The applied area o

43、f the protocol 7 Functional requirements of the protocol for identifying the home network topology The protocol is mainly used for identifying the home network topology. It is also used for checking the connectivity between the local manager (LM) and the LA, the specifications of which are given in

44、clause 11.1 of ITU-T G.9971. This Recommendation specifies the protocol that meets some of the requirements listed in clause 11.3 of ITU-T G.9971. The functional requirements, as well as their relationship with those in ITU-T G.9971, are given below. Figure 8-1 is also helpful for understanding thes

45、e requirements. R1 (based on R11-C1 and R11-C2 in ITU-T G.9971): The local L3 agent must be able to acquire the IP and MAC addresses of the device where the local L3 agent resides.
