This Recommendation specifies the signalling format and procedures for Flow State Aware (FSA) Transfer Capability in a bounded sub-network of a Next Generation Network (NGN). The FSA Transfer Capability provides QoS controls that operate on a per-flow basis, allowing flows within a bounded sub-network of a NGN to receive different treatment depending on signalled parameters. These parameters are requested using in-band signalling. The parameters contained in these signals are included in the "flow state" maintained on each flow (or each aggregate flow) at each FSA node. Service options that may be selected include requested support of the highest available end-to-end (or FSA edge-to-edge) rate for data transfer, assuming some source-to-receiver forwarding paths are entirely within the bounded sub-network of a NGN. The focus of this Recommendation is on broadband (including mobile) service access scenarios typically involving restricted bandwidth shared by many flows. In such circumstances, customer satisfaction, when there is temporary congestion, may be best handled by applying flow preferences and QoS differently for each customer and not simply on the type of media. This leads to the notion of customised QoS supported partly by signalling and partly through web-based tools. These concepts may also be applied to flow aggregates, with associated signalling support acting at the aggregate level between Aggregation End-points, as defined in [ITU-T Y.2121]. Customisation of aggregates in this Recommendation is limited to the notions of preference priority and FSA Transfer Capability.
