8、r a gateway control protocol in a decentralized gateway environment such as ITU-T H.248 decomposed gateways. Within the working assumptions defined, this supplement establishes a time coordination function model, addressing the components of a generic time service involving communication between gat

9、eway and gateway controller entities that relate the service and generic definitions provided by this function to the user requirements. It also identifies time synchronization protocols. The scope of this supplement is on “time of day“ information, not on other elements related to timing. Further m

10、ore, the provision of time information within a local system and implementation aspects are also out of the scope of this supplement.

11、ternational 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 responsible for studying technical,

12、 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 ITU-T study groups which, in tu

13、rn, 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 collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOT

24、ries Recommendations Gateway control protocol: Guidelines for synchronized time in ITU-T H.248 domains 1 Scope This supplement defines a time coordination function that may be used by an application process and/or a gateway control protocol in a decentralized gateway environment such as decomposed g

25、ateways according to ITU-T H.248.1. This supplement: establishes user requirements for this synchronized time in ITU-T H.248 domains; establishes a time coordination function model, addressing the components of a generic time service involving communication between gateway and gateway controller ent

26、ities, that relates the service and generic definitions provided by this function to the user requirements; identifies time synchronization protocols. This supplement does not: address the provision of time information within a local system; define the nature of any implementation intended to provid

27、e the time coordination function. The scope of this supplement is on “time of day“ information, not on other elements related to timing. 1.1 Explicitly out of scope Synchronized time is typically relevant not only for the gateway control protocol and ITU-T H.248 interfaces. Timing and synchronizatio

28、n aspects for ITU-T H.248 entities may be also required, however subsequent functions and interfaces are out of scope. 1.1.1 Transmission layer ITU-T H.248 entities are connected to packet and/or circuit networks. Timing, timing distribution and synchronization aspects in packet networks are very di

29、fferent in comparison to circuit-switched networks. Such aspects for transmission layer technologies are addressed, e.g., by ITU-T G-series Recommendations. For instance, ITU-T G.8261, ITU-T G.8262, ITU-T G.8264 could be relevant for particular deployments of ITU-T H.248 entities. The transmission l

30、ayer aspects and technologies are out of scope. 1.1.2 User plane User plane protocols may carry time information. For instance, application-level framing protocols (e.g., IETF RTP, 3GPP-specific framing protocols) for real-time transport require time synchronization elements between source and sink

31、(e.g., synchronization aspects between an RTP end system and an ITU-T H.248 RTP termination). Synchronization aspects or time alignment procedures of such types of user plane protocols are out of scope. 1.1.3 Management plane Without synchronized time, accurately correlating information between netw

32、ork elements becomes difficult, if not impossible (Note). Management and management systems for ITU-T H.248 entities are out of scope here. 2 H series Supplement 8 (05/2008) NOTE For instance, comparison of log files between network elements requires synchronized times. Particularly when it comes to

33、 security issues, reliable information may be only derived on the basis of accurate timing information. 1.1.4 Relation to technologies for high precision time distribution for IP networks This supplement makes proposals for time distribution technologies that are sufficient to cover the requirements

34、 addressed by this supplement. These technologies themselves are evolving and may be relevant for IP networks with higher precision time, but not in this supplement for the considered ITU-T H.248 control association. NOTE Such IP-specific technologies will be, e.g., developed by the IETF working gro
