9、mmunications. 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 a worldwide basis. The World Telecomm

10、unication 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 down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas

11、 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 administration and a recognized opera

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“

13、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 attention to the possibility that the practi

18、 Y.2172 (06/2007) 1 ITU-T Recommendation Y.2172 Service restoration priority levels in Next Generation Networks 1 Scope As stated in ITU-T Y.1271, enhanced priority treatment is an essential requirement for the assured capabilities needed for emergency telecommunications. One critical component is a

19、dmission control and associated priorities as described in ITU-T Y.2171. Another critical component is service restoration particularly during emergency conditions with potentially reduced network bandwidth/resources. Under such conditions, emergency telecommunications interrupted by network failure

20、s require preferential restoration treatment. In the NGN, assured restoration can be enabled by: 1) development of service restoration priority levels based on the criticality of services; 2) development of the necessary extensions in signalling protocols that can indicate the restoration priority l

21、evels during call/session set-up; 3) development of restoration mechanisms that can recognize the signalled priority levels and undertake the necessary restoration/re-routing action. The scope of this Recommendation is limited to the development of priority levels for service restoration in the NGN.

22、 This guidance can be helpful in the development of the subsequent signalling extensions and restoration mechanisms. Administrations may require operators and service providers to take into account national regulatory and national policy requirements in implementing this Recommendation. 2 References

31、s traffic are expected to be carried by NGN networks control plane traffic (e.g., routing and signalling messages), emergency telecommunications, real-time voice and video services, data services, virtual private network (VPN) services, as well as traditional “Best effort“ traffic. In such an enviro

32、nment, it is important to assign priority classifications and establish rules for service restoration such that critical services (e.g., control plane traffic and emergency telecommunications) are recognized and restored over other services in case of network overloads or failures ITU-T E.361, ITU-T

33、 Y.1291. As service flows can be expected to traverse multiple network domains, priority classification is an important step in the development of the necessary signalling protocol extensions as well as of the mechanisms for enabling preferential restoration of critical services b-IETF RFC 4090. The

34、 priority level classification is based on the following premise: Under reduced bandwidth conditions resulting from network failure, the critical issue for an NGN is the ability to recognize and restore higher priority traffic flows over others. The priority level recommendations proposed in this Re

35、commendation strictly relate to the relative importance of traffic classes from this perspective. They do not reflect implementation-specific priority definitions. For example, there are mechanisms utilizing generalized multi-protocol label switching (G-MPLS)-based recovery that define specific reco

36、very capabilities such as 1+1 protection and 1:N protection b-IETF RFC 4426. ITU-T Rec. Y.2172 (06/2007) 3 Such mechanism-specific priority definitions do not apply to the recommendations in this Recommendation. To summarize, the priority levels being recommended in this Recommendation are completel

37、y independent of the restoration mechanisms that a network operator may utilize. 7 Recommendation for restoration priority levels Three restoration priority levels are recommended for traffic in NGN: Priority level 1: Traffic with this priority receives the highest assurance of restoration. This cla

38、ss must include control services crucial to the operation of a network and emergency telecommunications. Other services may be included depending on availability of restoration capacity and service level agreements (SLA) between network operators and customers for the desired service. Priority level

39、 2: Traffic with this priority will receive lower assurance than priority level 1 traffic but will receive higher assurance than priority level 3 traffic for restoration. Examples include real-time services (VoIP, video), VPN and data services. The selection of this priority class is expected to be

40、determined by appropriate SLA agreements between network operators and customers for the desired service. Priority level 3: Traffic with this priority receives the least assurance for restoration. Examples include “traditional“ Internet service provider (ISP) services (e-mail, web surfing). The sele

41、ction of this priority class is expected to be determined by appropriate SLA agreements between network operators and customers for the desired service. The choice of the offered priority levels and the priority implementation mechanisms in the transport stratum is up to the network operator. The to

42、tal number of restoration priority levels may be extended in the future. 8 Security considerations The nature of this Recommendation does not raise new security considerations. 4 ITU-T Rec. Y.2172 (06/2007) Appendix I Illustrative example of restoration priority use for call/session setup with RACF

43、(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation) b-ITU-T Y.2111 defines the functional architecture for the resource and admission control functions (RACF) for NGN. RACF is intended to serve as the arbitrator between the service control function (SCF) and the transport function

44、in the NGN for QoS-related transport control in access and core networks. Arbitration decisions will be based on transport subscription information, SLAs, network policy rules, service priority, and transport resource status and utilization information. Restoration priority levels can be used in the

45、 RACF decision-making process to determine appropriate resource allocation for incoming calls/sessions depending on the type of the underlying transport technology. To illustrate the usage, consider the example of how two types of incoming video applications IPTV and multimedia video conferencing ar

46、e considered by RACF based on the following assumptions: The transport technology deployed is a DiffServ-Aware MPLS-TE (DS-TE) network b-IETF RFC 3564 having an aggregated set of Label Switched Path (LSP) tunnels, each with an assigned class type attribute, into which incoming calls/sessions are dir

47、ected based on the traffic type and admission control priority ITU-T Y.2171 of the incoming call/session. A network operator may decide to group all video applications in tunnels of the same class type (e.g., class type 2). This may be necessary as the total number of class types for DS-TE tunnels i

48、s restricted to eight. The DS-TE tunnels are protected against failures by the MPLS-Fast Reroute b-IETF RFC 4090 mechanism whereby each tunnel is assigned backup tunnels having pre-determined set-up and holding priority attributes. These tunnel attributes are stored in appropriate management informa

49、tion bases (MIB) b-IETF RFC 3812. This flexibility allows for DS-TE tunnels of the same class type to have different restoration priorities. An IPTV session is initiated requiring level 2 (normal) admission control priority and level 1 (high) restoration priority. The high level 1 restoration priority is necessary due to very stringent availability requirements for IPTV sessions b-ID-ServClasses. A multimedia video conferencing session is initiated requiring level 2 (normal) admission control priority and lev
