10、ion Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency 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 vi

11、ew to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide 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 Recommenda

12、tions is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 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 concise

13、ness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation

14、 is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTE

22、tions that define the end-to-end transmission performance of the international telecommunications transport network. The performance definitions are based upon a 27 500 km Hypothetical Reference Path (HRP) defined in ITU-T Rec. G.826. 1.1 Scope This Recommendation specifies the availability paramete

23、rs and their objectives for path elements and end-to-end international constant bit rate (CBR) digital paths. These paths are based on the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) as defined in ITU-T Rec. G.705, the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) as defined in ITU-T Rec. G.707 or the Optical Tran

24、sport Network (OTN) technology as defined in ITU-T Rec. G.709. Future revisions of this Recommendation may consider the availability specification of other transmission technologies. The availability parameters and their objectives are independent of the transmission media supporting the path, e.g.,

25、 optical fibre, radio relay or satellite. The availability objectives are considered to be complementary to the error performance objectives defined in ITU-T Recs G.821, G.826, G.828 and G.8201. Packet or cell-based transport technologies are covered by other ITU-T Recommendations such as X.137 and

26、I.357. The availability performance for switched connections in the ISDN is defined in ITU-T Rec. I.355. The objectives given in this Recommendation may be used as a basis for the negotiation of enhanced performance, between the customer and the service provider, via a Service Level Agreement (SLA)

27、as described in ITU-T Recs E.800 and E.801. This Recommendation calls up other Recommendations for details about particular transport technologies such as measurement points and conditions and testing strategies. These Recommendations are for networks in general, including path protection arrangemen

G.

30、827 (09/2003) organizations responsible for the supply of capacity, to determine what additional end-to-end support may be needed (such as end-to-end protection switching) to fulfil the contracted quality of service objectives; network operators providing the network elements, to ensure that the con

31、tracted availability objectives are met; national public network supervisory bodies. 1.3 Application of this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the availability of international end-to-end CBR digital paths based upon the availability of their constituent path elements. A path is constructed

32、 using path elements that meet availability objectives obtained using the principles specified in 7.2. The designer will assemble the path elements into the path such that the path will meet the Table 2 objectives. The path may include various protection topologies; examples are given in Annex A. Th

33、e characteristics of path elements depend upon their length, their location in the end-to-end circuit and their quality category. More detailed analysis of their availability down to network operator domains, server layers, subnetworks or access groups is outside the scope of this Recommendation. Te

34、chniques for improving the end-to-end availability by employing additional protection network elements are described in Annex A. The availability is calculated from unity minus the unavailability. Note that one or both of the end-to-end paths end points may be located at the users premises. Annex A

35、also gives detailed guidance on methodologies for evaluating the end-to-end availability. In some cases, an international telecommunications circuit may be provided by a group of private network operators. Then, the customer must negotiate the availability objectives required between these network o

36、perators to establish a SLA contract possibly using the performance specified in this Recommendation as guidance. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.
