  9. Core Network BecomingData-Centered • The dramatic rise of the Internet and the World Wide Web: >50% of telecomm traffic in Bay Area is already data • Conventional circuit-switched PSTN infrastructure brought to its knees • IP Dialtone • Single network for wireless access, Internet access, and voice access • E.g., Sprint ION: Integrated On-Demand Network, MCI/WorldCom’s On-Net, Qwest Communications, etc.

  10. Presentation Outline • Market Forces and Technology Trends • Comparison of Internet and Telephony • Third Generation Telecommunications Architectures (and Beyond) • Internet-based Open Services Architecture • Summary and Conclusions

  11. Strengths Intelligence at the end points; No state in the network; Highly decentralized control Enables operation over very heterogeneous collection of access technologies; few assumptions about the network necessary Achieves robust communications through packet switching & store-and-forward routing Depends on cooperative forwarding of packets Weaknesses No differentiated service No control mechanisms for managing bottleneck links Store-and-forward routing introduces variable delay in end-to-end performance Decentralized control makes introduction of new protocols/functions difficult since all end nodes must be upgraded Lack of truly trusted infrastructure leads to security problems Internet Technology

  12. Strengths Requires no end-point intelligence; supports heterogeneous end devices Provides excellent performance for voice End-to-end performance guarantees achieved through well-defined signaling layer to switching function True utility functionality through sophisticated and hierarchically arranged switches controlled by service providers Weaknesses Achieves performance by overallocating resources 3.4 KHz audio voice band signal converted to 64 kbps digital representation Switching design determined by statistics of call traffic Difficult to add new services to the so-called “Intelligent Network” due to complex feature interaction Expensive approach to robustness PSTN Technology

  13. Strengths Virtual circuits with call set-up to manage scarce resources and achieve QoS guarantees Fixed/small size “cells” to enable fast switching Sophisticated statistical multiplexing mechanisms to make possible variety of traffic models Integrated services Weaknesses Connection-orientation has some problems with latency and robust operation; every cell must follow same path in order ATM unlikely to be a universal end-to-end technology, especially for data traffic in local area Quaranteed performance end-to-end in heterogeneous environments is lost ATM: The Grand Convergence?

  14. Support for multipoint-to-multipoint multicast communications Support for mobility & mobile route optimization Reservation-based resource allocation Performance promises Nice scaling properties Soft state in the network allows robust recovery to failure; protocol works around link and switch failures Software-based codecs 64 kbps/PCM coding vs. 36 kbps ADPCM, 17 kbps GSM, 9 kbps LPC Adequate video at 28.8 to 128 kbps Real Time Protocol (RTP) Ends adapt audio/video streaming rates to what the network can support Easy integration of new services like proxies Solve performance problems by adding more bandwidth Next Generation Internet

  15. Internet Telephony Packet Data to Analog Voice Analog Voice to Packet Data Internet Local Call Local Call Gateway Gateway SF to Frankfurt via Internet Service: $0.28 per min via AT&T Long Distance: $1.25 per min Less expensive infrastructure Circumvents government-backed monopolies Existing long distance tariffs far exceed costs WTO worldwide deregulation Why so Cheap?

  16. Internet Telephony • Quality Issues: High Latencies/Dropped Packets • Deployment of (virtual) private networks • Faster/scalable hardware reduces gateway latency • RSVP + H.323 + Reconstruction of lost packets + Better voice coding at 8 kbps • VoIP: Voice over Internet Protocol Forum • Short term: circuit-switched local infrastructure plus packet-switched wide-area infrastructure • Wide-area b/w is a commodity, local access is not • Many leading telecomms already doing this • Longer term: migration towards “always on” digital broadband data connections

  24. The Future: Internet-basedOpen Services Architecture “Today, the telecommunications sector is beginning to reshape itself, from a vertically to a horizontally structured industry. … [I]t used to be that new capabilities were driven primarily by the carriers. Now, they are beginning to be driven by the users. … There’s a universe of people out there who have a much better idea than we do of what key applications are, so why not give those folks the opportunity to realize them. … The smarts have to be buried in the ‘middleware’ of the network, but that is going to change as more-capable user equipment is distributed throughout the network. When it does, the economics of this industry may also change.” George Heilmeier, Chairman Emeritus, Bellcore “From POTS to PANS: Telecommunications in Transition”

  25. The Network Infrastructure of the Future • The Challenge • Developing service intensive, network-based, real-time applications • Securely embedding computational resources in the switching fabric • Providing an open, extensible network environment: heterogeneity • Computing • Encapsulating legacy servers & partitioning “thin” client functionality • Scalability: 100,000s of simultaneous users in the SF Bay Area • High BW IP backbones + diverse access networks • Different coverage, bandwidth, latency, and cost characteristics • Third generation cellular systems: UMTS/IMT2000 • Next gen WLANs (Bluetooth) & broadband access nets (DSL/cable) • Diverse appliances beyond the handset or PC • Communicator devices plus servers in the infrastructure
