Question 14/13 - Protocols and service mechanisms for multi-service data networks (MSDN)
(Continuation of part of Q.7/17)
- Motivation
This Question is intended to provide protocols and service mechanisms for support
of multi-service data networks (MSDN). Ethernet MAC, RPR MAC and other telecommunication
channels have been deployed already and are continuing to develop all over the world.
Multiple Service Ring based on RPR, is a multi service Metro network technology that can
also be used in various topologies. This Question addresses how to make use of these
existing broadband resources effectively to provide multi-service data network applications.
This Question provides the protocols and service mechanisms for MSDN. The new Recommendations
will be suited for the existing multi-service data networks and various MAC (Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, RPR) engineering applications.
- Question
This Question develops Recommendations with respect to protocols and service
mechanisms for MSDN. The associated work will be handled and progressed in
co-operation with other study groups, the IETF, IEEE 802, MEF, etc. The scope includes:
- Develop Requirements for MSDN, areas of study and development include:
- Identification of market needs
- Architectural considerations, for L2 data networks;
- Multi-service multicast aspects;
- Ethernet UNI and NNI aspects.
- Enhance existing packet protocols or, if required, develop new packet protocols
to support the developed MSDN requirements, including service mechanisms;
- Develop associated MIBs (Management Information Base) to support item (ii).
- Tasks
Develop new Recommendations according to the items under study.
- Relationships
Study Groups: ITU-T SGs 4, 11 and 15
Standardization bodies: ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 6; IETF; IEEE 802 Committee; and Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF)
