7、mendation Y.1291 An architectural framework for support of Quality of Service in packet networks Summary This Recommendation provides an architectural framework for support of Quality of Service (QoS) in packet networks. Central to the architectural framework is a set of generic network mechanisms (

8、or QoS building blocks) for controlling the network service response to a service request, which can be specific to a network element, or for signalling between network elements, or for controlling and administering traffic across a network. Distributed across three logical planes (namely the Contro

9、l Plane, Data Plane and Management Plane), the building blocks can be used in combination to form various approaches for delivering the satisfactory collective effect of varying service performance required by a range of applications, such as file transfer and multimedia conferencing.

10、ecommendation Y.1291 was approved on 7 May 2004 by ITU-T Study Group 13 (2001-2004) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. Y.1291 (05/2004) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The I

11、TU 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 Standardi

12、zation 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 tec

13、hnology 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. Compli

14、ance 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 oblig

15、atory 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 implementatio

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

40、S. ITU-T Rec. E.800 defines QoS as “the collective effect of service performance which determines the degree of satisfaction of a user of the service“. Given that ITU-T Rec. E.800 considers support, operability, serviceability and security all part of service performance, this QoS definition is comp

41、rehensive in scope. Expanding on the E.800 QoS concept, ITU-T Rec. G.1000 breaks down service performance (or service quality) into functional components and links it to network performance such as defined in ITU-T Recs I.350, Y.1540 and Y.1541. Complementary to ITU-T Rec. G.1000, which gives a fram

42、ework, ITU-T Rec. G.1010 provides end-user-centric application requirements in terms of broad categories (such as interactive, error tolerant). Concerning specific applications or performance parameters, among related standards, ITU-R Rec. M.1079-2 defines the end-to-end speech and data quality and

43、performance requirements for IMT-2000 access networks, while ITU-T Rec. G.114 specifies the bounds for transmission time for connections across a digital network. To deliver required network performance, certain mechanisms need to be in place within the network. These network mechanisms are to contr

44、ol and deliver various network service responses, even in case of network resource contention. IETF RFC 2990 summarizes the possible characteristics of the controlled service response to a specific service request: consistent and predictable, at a level equal to or above a guaranteed minimum, or est

45、ablished in advance. For example, in case of network resource contention or congestion, to maintain the expected service response requires a variety of means working at different time-scales, from those for careful network planning based on traffic patterns over a long period to those for differenti

46、al resource allocation and admission control based on the current network load condition. These and other mechanisms (e.g., a signalling method for indicating the desired level of network performance) are the focus of the architectural framework for QoS support. In particular, this Recommendation id

47、entifies a set of generic QoS network mechanisms and provides a structure for them. Ultimately the network mechanisms are to be used in combination to deliver the satisfactory collective effect of varying service performance required by a wide range of applications. The application-independent aspec

48、t of the identified architectural framework distinguishes it from application-specific QoS architectures such as defined in ITU-T Rec. H.360, which is specific to multimedia applications. 6 QoS building blocks Key to the QoS architectural framework is a set of generic network mechanisms for controll

(Please note that the building blocks should not be deemed end to end.) As depicted in Figure 1, the building blocks are organized into three planes: Control Plane, which contains mechanisms dealing with the pathways through which user traffic travels. These mechanisms include admission contr
