JOINT ITU-T SG13 - IEEE NGSON WORKSHOP ON OVERLAY NETWORKING (Geneva, 15 May 2009) Status of NGN architecture related studies in ITU-T SG13 Olivier Le Grand WP 3/13 chairman France Telecom
Separation of services from transport in NGN (Rec. Y.2011) e.g., Video services (TV, movie, etc.) e.g., Data services (WWW, e-mail, etc.) e.g., Voice telephony services (audio, fax, etc.) NGN services CO-CS, CO-PS and CL-PS layer technologies NGN transport • "NGN service stratum" vs "NGN transport stratum" • Each stratum comprises one or more layers, where each layer is conceptually composed of a data (or user) plane, a control plane, and a management plane 2

Ongoing work on ASF&SSF: Y.OSE-arch • "Open Service Environment functional architecture in NGN": • Based on OSE capabilities and functional components defined in Rec ITU-T Y.2234 • Objectives: define the OSE functional architecture model • relationship/mapping with already defined Y.2012 ASF&SSF FEs
Overlay networking and NGN • Inputs referring to "Overlay networking" targeting different scenarios: • e.g. for supporting multicast (IPTV, Content Delivery), … • Scenarios, corresponding requirements and capabilities to be consolidated • Relationship to NGN functional architecture: • Cases to be considered (on a per scenario basis): • Overlay to the IP layer but still part of NGN Transport stratum • Overlay to the NGN Transport stratum, i.e. part of the NGN Service stratum • Overlay to the NGN Service stratum, i.e. above the NGN • Functions to be supported • Relationship to existing NGN functions and functional entities to be assessed
Conclusion • The NGN architecture is being enhanced in order to support Open Service Environment (OSE) capabilities as defined in Y.2234 • Paving the way towards a possible NGN "Service Delivery Environment/Platform" architecture • Collaboration with other SDOs such as OMA, OASIS, TMF,… • Use of "Overlay networking" techniques in NGN is being studied • Consolidation expected in terms of addressed scenarios, corresponding requirements and related architectural impacts Note: See backup slides for information on NGN architecture related recommendations (approved or under development)
