Technology Challenges • Reinforcing the Layer 2/Layer 3 Infrastructure • IMS requires high levels of stability, availability, and consistency across network elements, such as DNS and IP topology. • New requirements for OA&M, redundancy, backup, signaling, bearer traffic, VPN, may require significant changes to existing network models. • Securing the IMS • The distributed nature of IMS creates new requirements for a distributed security implementation. • IMS must provide: Confidentiality, Communications integrity, Privacy, Availability. • Performance Engineering for the IMS • The distributed nature of IMS, along with new traffic characteristics & services, require new planning models. • Encompassing: Element-level view, Application-level view, End-user quality-view, Aggregate (core network) view • IMS Interoperability • Interoperability testing becomes increasingly more complex as the number of elements & vendors in the solution grows. • Key criteria include: Manufacturer/model/revision, Service/product definition, Usage scenarios, Required features, Existing infrastructure.
