10、affic engineering methods Call routing and connection routing methods Summary The E.360.x series of Recommendations describes, analyzes, and recommends methods which control a networks response to traffic demands and other stimuli, such as link failures or node failures. The functions discussed and

11、recommendations made related to traffic engineering (TE) are consistent with the definition given in the Framework document of the Traffic Engineering Working Group (TEWG) within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): Internet Traffic Engineering is concerned with the performance optimization o

12、f operational networks. It encompasses the measurement, modelling, characterization, and control of Internet traffic, and the application of techniques to achieve specific performance objectives, including the reliable and expeditious movement of traffic through the network, the efficient utilizatio

13、n of network resources, and the planning of network capacity. The methods addressed in the E.360.x series include call and connection routing, QoS resource management, routing table management, dynamic transport routing, capacity management, and operational requirements. Some of the methods proposed

14、 herein are also addressed in or are closely related to those proposed in ITU-T Recs E.170 to E.179 and E.350 to E.353 for routing, E.410 to E.419 for network management and E.490 to E.780 for other traffic engineering issues. The recommended methods are meant to apply to IP-based, ATM-based, and TD

15、M-based networks, as well as the interworking between these network technologies. Essentially, all of the methods recommended are already widely applied in operational networks worldwide, particularly in PSTN networks employing TDM-based technology. However, these methods are shown to be extensible

16、to packet-based technologies, that is, to IP-based and ATM-based technologies, and it is important that networks which evolve to employ these packet technologies have a sound foundation of methods to apply. Hence, it is the intent that the methods recommended in this series of Recommendations be use

17、d as a basis for requirements for specific methods, and, as needed, for protocol development in IP-based, ATM-based, and TDM-based networks to implement the methods. The methods encompassed in this Recommendation include traffic management through control of routing functions, which include QoS reso

18、urce management. Results of analysis models are presented which illustrate the tradeoffs between various approaches. Based on the results of these studies, as well as established practice and experience, methods are recommended for consideration in network evolution to IP-based, ATM-based, and/or TD

E.360.2 (05/2002) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agen

20、cy in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide

21、basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Re

22、solution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administrati

E.360.2 (05/2002) Introduction In this Recommendation we assume the separation of “call routing“ and signalling for call establishment from “connection (or bearer-path) rout

29、ing“ and signalling for bearer-channel establishment. Call routing protocols primarily translate a number or a name, which is given to the network as part of a call setup, to a routing address needed for the connection (bearer-path) establishment. Call routing protocols are described for example in

30、Q.2761 for the Broadband ISDN Used Part (B-ISUP) call signalling, ATM990048 for bearer-independent call control (BICC), or virtual trunking, call signalling, H.323 for H.323 call signalling, GR99 for the media gateway control RFC2805 call signalling, and in HSSR99 for the session initiation protocol

31、 (SIP) call signalling. Connection routing protocols include for example Q.2761 for B-ISUP signalling, ATM960055 for PNNI signalling, ATM960061 for UNI signalling, DN99 for switched virtual path (SVP) signalling, and J00 for MPLS constraint-based routing label distribution protocol (CRLDP) signallin

32、g. A specific connection or bearer-path routing method is characterized by the routing table used in the method. The routing table consists of a set of paths and rules to select one path from the route for a given connection request. When a connection request arrives at its originating node (ON), th

33、e ON implementing the routing method executes the path selection rules associated with the routing table for the connection to determine a selected path from among the path candidates in the route for the connection request. In a particular routing method, the path selected for the connection reques

34、t is governed by the connection routing, or path selection, rules. Various path selection methods are discussed: fixed routing (FR) path selection, time-dependent routing (TDR) path selection, state-dependent routing (SDR) path selection, and event-dependent routing (EDR) path selection.

35、E.360.2 (05/2002) 1 ITU-T Recommendation E.360.2 QoS routing and related traffic engineering methods Call routing and connection routing methods 1 Scope The E.360.x series of Recommendations describes, analyzes, and recommends methods which control a networks response to traffic demands and other st

The functions discussed and recommendations made related to traffic engineering (TE) are consistent with the definitions given in the Framework document of the Traffic Engineering Working Group (TEWG) within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): I

37、nternet Traffic Engineering is concerned with the performance optimization of operational networks. It encompasses the measurement, modelling, characterization, and control of Internet traffic, and the application of techniques to achieve specific performance objectives, including the reliable and e

Some of the methods proposed herein are also addressed in or are closely related to those proposed in ITU-T Recs E.170 to E.179 and E.350 to E.353 for routing, E.410 to E.419 for network management, E.490 to E.780 for other traffic engineering issues.

40、The recommended methods are meant to apply to IP-based, ATM-based, and TDM-based networks, as well as the interworking between these network technologies. Essentially, all of the methods recommended are already widely applied in operational networks worldwide, particularly in PSTN networks employing

Hence the methods encompassed in this series of Recommendati

44、including routing design; operational requirements for traffic management and capacity management, including forecasting, performance monitoring, and short-term network adjustment. Results of analysis models are presented which illustrate the tradeoffs between various approaches. Based on the result

45、s of these studies as well as established practice and experience, TE methods are recommended for consideration in network evolution to IP-based, ATM-based, and/or TDM-based technologies. 2 References See clause 2 of Rec.

ITU-T E.360.1. 5 Call routing methods Call routing entails number (or name) translation to a routing address, which is then used for connection establishment. Routing addresses can consist, for example, of: a) E.164 ATM end system addresses (AES

47、As) E.191; b) network routing addresses (NRAs) E.353; and/or c) IP addresses S94. As discussed in ITU-T Rec. E.360.4, a TE requirement is the need for carrying E.164-AESA addresses, NRAs, and IP addresses in the connection-setup information element (IE). In that case, E.164-AESA addresses, NRAs, and

48、 IP addresses become the standard addressing method for interworking across IP-, ATM-, and TDM-based networks. Another TE requirement is that a call identification code (CIC) be carried in the call-control and bearer-control connection-setup IEs in order to correlate the call-control setup with the

49、bearer-control setup (Q.1901, ATM990048). Carrying these additional parameters in the Signalling System 7 (SS7) ISDN User Part (ISUP) connection-setup IEs is referred to as the bearer independent call control (BICC) protocol. Number (or name) translation, then, should result in the E.164-AESA addresses, NRAs, and/or IP addresses. NRA formats are covered in E.353, and IP-address formats in S94. The AESA address has a 20-byte format as shown in Figure 1a. E.191. E.360.2_F01aAESA addressIDP DSPIDIAFIFigure 1a
