5、J.164 (12/2007) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized 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 resp

6、onsible 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 Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the

7、ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-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 collaborat

8、ive basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used 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 ma

9、ndatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the 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.

10、The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU ta

11、kes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property 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 not received notice of intellectual prop

12、erty, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

32、s Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.1 cable modem: A cable modem is a layer two termination device that terminates the customer end of the J.112 connection. 3.2 attribute: An Event Message Attribute is a predefined data element described by an attribute definition and attribute type. 3.3

33、 call: A call is an instance of user-initiated voice communication capabilities. In traditional telephony, a call is generally considered as the establishment of connectivity directly between two points: originating party and terminating party. In the IPCablecom context, as noted above, the communic

34、ation between the parties is “connectionless“ in the traditional sense. 3.4 event message: An Event Message is a set of data, representative of an event in the IPCablecom architecture that could be indicative of usage of one or more billable IPCablecom capabilities. An Event Message by itself may no

35、t be fully indicative of a customers billable activities, but an Event Message correlated with other Event Messages builds the basis of a billable Usage Detail Record. 3.5 IPCablecom: An ITU-T project that includes an architecture and a series of Recommendations that enable the delivery of real-time

36、 services over cable television networks using cable modems. 3.6 IPCablecom transaction: An IPCablecom transaction is a collection of events on the IPCablecom network when delivering a service to a subscriber. Event Messages for the same transaction are identified by one unique billing correlation I

37、D (as described in Table 39). For some services, multiple transactions may be required to provide information that is necessary to collect the total usage for the service. Multiple Event Messages may be required to track resources for each individual service used. A transaction may persist over time

38、. 3.7 service: A service is an individual or package of communications features a subscriber may select. A service is identified by a set of one or more “calls“ or transactions that deliver the desired functionality to the subscriber. Examples of a service include: a voice communication between two

39、local IPCablecom subscribers, a 3-way call, pay-per-view movie, and a web-surfing session. A service may be instantaneous or persist over time. 4 Abbreviations and conventions 4.1 Abbreviations This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: AMA Automated Message Accounting CDR Call Detail Rec

These words are: “MUST“ This word or the adjective “REQUIRED“ means that the it

42、em is an absolute requirement of this Recommendation. “MUST NOT“ This phrase means that the item is an absolute prohibition of this Recommendation. “SHOULD“ This word or the adjective “RECOMMENDED“ means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this item, but the full

43、 implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before choosing a different course. “SHOULD NOT“ This phrase means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the listed behaviour is acceptable or even useful, but the full implications should be understood a

44、nd the case carefully weighed before implementing any behaviour described with this label. “MAY“ This word or the adjective “OPTIONAL“ means that this item is truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it or because it enhances the product, fo

45、r example; another vendor may omit the same item. 5 Background An Event Message is a data record containing information about network usage and activities. A single Event Message may contain a complete set of data regarding usage or it may only contain part of the total usage information. When corre

46、lated by the record-keeping server (RKS), information contained in multiple Event Messages provides a complete record of the service. This complete record of the service is often referred to as a call detail record (CDR). Event Messages or CDRs may be sent to one or more back-office applications suc

47、h as a billing system, fraud detection system, or prepaid services processor. The structure of the Event Message data record is designed to be flexible and extensible in order to carry information about network usage for a wide variety of services. Examples of these services include IPCablecom voice

48、, video and other multimedia services, such as video-on-demand, pay-per-view and J.112 high-speed data services. 4 ITU-T Rec. J.164 (12/2007) This IPCablecom Event Messages Recommendation defines a transport protocol independent Event Message attribute TLV format, an Event Message file format, as we

49、ll as the mandatory RADIUS protocol and the optional FTP transport protocol. Although the scope of this Event Message Recommendation is limited to defining Event Messages for simple voice communication activities, it is expected that this Recommendation will be expanded to support additional IPCablecom services as well as high-speed data services. 5.1 Traditional telephony billing formats The telephony industry has traditionally recorded call detail transactions on telephone switches utilizing various standard and proprietary billing form
