Multimedia services are defined as IP-based services (e.g., online gaming, videoconferencing, streaming media, etc.) requiring QoS-based network resources (as contrasted with services such as web browsing, email, instant messaging and file-sharing that are commonly provided using best

While telephony or voice-based services are not specifically excluded from this definition, the IPCablecom-T set of Recommendations provide coverage specific to this type of service delivery and, therefore, those Recommendations should be consulted as appropriate.

J.179 (11/2005) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU

6、 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 them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardiza

7、tion 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-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information techn

8、ology 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 for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Complian

9、ce with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory 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 obligat

10、ory 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 any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation

11、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 Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of th

12、e date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had 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 information and are therefore strongly urged to co

21、based signalling interfaces that leverage core QoS and policy management capabilities native to CableModems. Multimedia services are defined as IP-based services (e.g., online gaming, videoconferencing, streaming media, etc.) requiring QoS-based network resources (as contrasted with services such as

22、 web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging and file-sharing that are commonly provided using best-effort flows). While telephony or voice-based services are not specifically excluded from this definition, the IPCablecom-T set of Recommendations provides coverage specific to this type of service delive

23、ry and, therefore, those Recommendations should be consulted as appropriate. 2 References 2.1 Normative references The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publicati

24、on, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below.

33、ignalling capabilities. This Client knows nothing about CableModem, IPCable2Home, or IPCablecom messaging, and hence no related requirements can be placed upon it. Such clients may range from simple analog audio and video presentation devices to complex networked peripherals and consumer electronics

34、, such as set-top boxes or gaming consoles. This Client communicates with an Application Manager to request service, and does not request QoS resources directly from the operator access network. This Recommendation supports only client type 1. 3.2 client type 2: Client type 2 is similar to an IPCabl

35、ecom-T telephony MTA in that it supports QoS signalling based on IPCablecom DQoS. This Client is aware of IPCablecom Multimedia QoS, and communicates with an Application Manager to request service and obtain a token for access-network resources. The client then presents this token when requesting Qo

36、S resources from the access network (pkt-mm-1, pkt-mm-6). This Recommendations support for client type 2 remains for further study. 3.3 client type 3: Client type 3 requests QoS based on RSVP without Application Manager interaction. This Client is aware of IETF standards-based RSVP and uses this pro

37、tocol to request QoS resources from the access network directly from the CMTS. This Recommendations support for client type 3 remains for further study. 3.4 DOCSIS: Describes a specific CableModem technology as developed by Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.
