Summary

Recommendation ITU-T E.847 analyses and identifies quality of service (QoS) parameters for time‑division multiplexing (TDM) interconnection between telecom networks, which are needed to facilitate effective interconnections with reasonable traffic handling capacities. The proposals, as given in this Recommendation, provide a guiding framework for TDM interconnection of telecom networks and will facilitate effective monitoring of performance, QoS at point of interconnections (POIs), as well as endeavour to ensure end‑to‑end customer satisfaction and quality of experience (QoE). Regulators may also use this Recommendation to envision effective interconnection regulations in their respective countries.
