ITU-T H.248.52 (06/2008) i Recommendation ITU-T H.248.52 Gateway control protocol: QoS support packages Summary Recommendation ITU-T H.248.52 provides H.248 packages for different quality of service (QoS) support mechanisms. The QoS class package may be used in various areas with relations to Q

The Differentiated Services package is specifically designed to support QoS marking for IPv4- or IPv6-based H.248 streams/terminations, but limited to the 6-bit DiffServ field within the IP header. The General IP Header QoS Octet package all

9、ows QoS marking and modification of the entire 8-bit field, related to QoS protocol control information elements in IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers. Amendment 1 (03/2009), which is integrated in this edition, defines a new version of the Differentiated Services package, which clarifies the procedures f

ITU-T H.248.52 (06/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Stan

12、dardization 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 basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), w

13、hich 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 Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within

14、 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 administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommenda

15、tion is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “m

17、may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of t

ITU-T H.248.52 (06/2008) 1 Recommendation ITU-T H.248.52 Gateway control protocol: QoS support packages 1 Scope This Recommendation provides H.248 packages for different quality of service (QoS) support mechanisms. The QoS class package (clause 6) defines a s

25、ingle property for signalling a QoS class codepoint. Such a codepoint may be correlated with a set of network performance parameters. Such parameters may be used in the area of transport resource management or admission control. The Differentiated Services package (clause 7) defines a property to co

26、ntrol the 6-bit differentiated services (DS) field of the IP header, as defined in IETF RFC 2474. The media gateway controller (MGC) can set the quality of service (QoS) for egress media flows without having to provision the media gateway (MG) with a default differentiated service code point (DSCP)

27、value. Thus both packages have a slightly different scope as described in the clauses below (see also Appendix II). The General IP Header QoS Octet package (clause 8) provides an extended capability, in comparison to the Differentiated Services package, in order to address the entire 8-bit field, an

28、d enable modification of individual bits. 1.1 Typical application of the QoS class package This package is only relevant for ephemeral terminations, i.e., packet-switched bearer technologies. Any packet-based bearer connection traverses a set of packet nodes in the network. Even within an MG, a bear

29、er may traverse a number of queuing points. To set up a bearer, generally resources must be reserved at each transport path/interface and/or MG-internally (see Note 1). The availability check, selection and allocation of resources are related to admission control (AC) functions (see Note 2), e.g., t

30、here could be admission control functions in an MG on the level of contexts (CoAC), terminations (TeAC) or even streams (StAC). NOTE 1 This may depend on how the network capacity and/or MG capacity is engineered, e.g., the MG external network interfaces may be “over-provisioned“, operated in a “best

31、 effort“ manner, or strict deterministic resource allocation schemes, etc. Similar resource management models may be applied internally to the MG. NOTE 2 The concept is very similar to the connection admission control (CAC) concept defined for B-ISDN/ATM b-ITU-T I.371. Any admission control function

32、 is motivated by QoS support and determines the admissibility of a new bearer (i.e., H.248 context, termination and/or stream; see Note 3) by checking the availability of various resources. Network performance parameters may be part of such an AC function and thus could be described by this package.

33、 NOTE 3 This may depend in particular on the H.248 connection model (e.g., IP-to-IP context), or single/multiple H.248 streams per termination, etc. It has to be noted that the area of admission control is just one possible application of the QoS class package. The diversity of potential application

34、s (see Note 4) is much broader due to the definition of the qos package property. The particular application should be defined in a profile specification. NOTE 4 Further applications are, e.g., support of path-coupled QoS signalling, or support of pushing/pulling QoS-specific policies, or even suppo

35、rt of QoS marking. 2 Rec. ITU-T H.248.52 (06/2008) 1.2 Typical application of the Differentiated Services and General IP Header QoS Octet packages “Packet marking“ (also known as “QoS marking“) is a QoS building block for support of quality of service in packet networks (see clause 8.4 of ITU-T Y.12

36、91). This function involves assigning a value to a designated IP header field in IP networks. QoS marking in IP domains is the primary scope of the ds and gih packages and includes marking of: IPv4 Type-of-Service (ToS) field (b-IETF RFC 1349); IPv4 Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) field (b-IE

37、TF RFC 3168); IPv4 ToS together with ECN; IPv4 Differentiated Services (DS) field (IETF RFC 2474); IPv6 Traffic Class field (b-IETF RFC 2460); or IPv6 Differentiated Services (DS) field (IETF RFC 2474). The ds package is predestined for DS codepoint (DSCP) marking, but is also applicable for non-DS

38、IP domains. The function of QoS marking is illustrated by examples in Appendix IV. The ds package is furthermore applicable for controlling DS conditioning functions and per-hop behaviour (PHB). 1.3 Avoidance of interaction between the Differentiated Services and General IP Header QoS Octet packages

39、 The two properties ds/dscp and gih/iqo overlap at a common 6-bit field in the IP header. Any parallel application of both properties to the same H.248 stream may thus lead to contradictory semantics. It is therefore recommended to use only one property per stream, and not both. Where both will resu

40、lt in a conflict, error code #473 (“Conflicting property values“) is returned. Likewise, parallel application of the ds/tb and the gih/tm properties to the same H.248 stream may lead to contradictory semantics. It is also recommended to use only one of these two properties per stream, and not both.

41、Where both will result in a conflict, error code #473 “Conflicting property values“ is returned. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

Such a se

46、t could, for instance, constitute the traffic contract between the subscriber equipment and the network. Examples of such performance parameters include: packet loss ratio, packet transfer delay, and packet delay variation tolerance. The parameters are used to define distinct QoS classes. 4 Abbrevia
