ITU-T Y.2054 (02/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications,

9、 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 them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on

10、 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-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid do

11、wn 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 for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication

12、 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 Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory

13、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 any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attent

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others

37、eloped signalling for supporting NGN functions. Thus, this Recommendation presents guidelines on how to support the existing signalling protocols and signalling for supporting several functions required in NGN using the IPv6 features. 6 Features of signalling using IPv6 6.1 Features of the existing

38、signalling protocols There are several existing signalling protocols in Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) networks, providing some form of control delivery mechanism with or without quality of service (QoS) support. Like Internet control message protocol (ICMP), such kind of signalling protocol is

39、for information notification only. Similar to resource reservation protocol (RSVP), however, some signalling may transfer QoS-related information that can be used by a node to determine the control of resource of the node. Figure 1 Classification of existing signalling In analysing the features of e

40、xisting signalling mechanisms, the signalling protocols of the transport stratum and service stratum can be considered. As shown in Figure 1, the transport stratum consists of access and core domains; transport QoS signalling is used to perform bandwidth reservation, admission control, and QoS mappi

41、ng. In the service stratum, call signalling for call set-up/release 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.2054 (02/2008) and application signalling to support various services are supported. The following are the features of the existing signalling protocols: Signalling for the transport stratum: RSVP-TE (including RSVP-T

42、E extension for GMPLS) Resource reservation protocol-traffic engineering (RSVP-TE) b-IETF RFC 3209 based on RSVP b-IETF RFC 2205 is used for the integrated services (IntServ) model. Both RSVP and RSVP-TE are implemented at the Internet protocol (IP) layer. RSVP is defined to support QoS in IP networ

43、ks with fine granularity, although this leads to scalability problems. RSVP-TE has some additional concepts such as label distribution, aggregated flow, and explicit route. CR-LDP (including CR-LDP extension for GMPLS) Constraint-based routed label distribution protocol (CR-LDP) b-IETF RFC 3472 from

44、 label distribution protocol (LDP) is used for almost the same purpose as RSVP-TE. CR-LDP contains extensions to enable LDP to extend its capabilities, e.g., set up paths based on explicit route constraints, QoS constraints, and other constraints. Signalling for the service stratum: SIP and H.323 Se

45、ssion initiation protocol (SIP) and H.323 play a key role in call control for session-based services in NGN. In particular, SIP is an application-layer control protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. H.248 H.248 is the media gateway control protocol

46、for use in distributed switching environments. Use of this protocol enables controlling media gateways to set up media (e.g., voice traffic) paths through the distributed network. 6.2 IPv6 features to support signalling A large percentage of users in NGN will use IPv6 addresses due to the lack of IP

47、v4 addresses, etc. Emphasis is placed on these applications to use the QoS mechanism supported by the IPv6 protocol. Therefore, signalling using IPv6 for NGN is required; existing signalling protocols are concerned only with the delivery of signalling messages over IPv4 networks. From the signalling

48、 viewpoint, the IPv6 protocol has the following features related to QoS and other capabilities: Flow label Flow label enables classification of packets belonging to a specific flow and flow-specific treatment. The key advantage of flow label is that transit routers need not open the inner packet to

49、identify the flow; thus aiding in the identification of the flow when using encryption and other scenarios. Traffic class The traffic class field may be used to set specific precedence or differentiated service code point values. Extension headers The extension header can ensure both flexibility and efficiency in the creation of the IPv6 datagram. All fields required only for special purposes, e.g., QoS support, are put into extension headers and placed in the packet, when necessary. In particular, signalling
