10、n 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 view

11、 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 Recommendati

12、ons 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 concisene

13、ss 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 i

14、s 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. INTELL

41、the generic rules defined in ITU-T Rec. G.805. The specific aspects regarding the characteristic information, client/server associations, the topology, the connection supervision and multipoint capabilities of ATM transport networks are provided in this Recommendation. This Recommendation uses the t

42、erminology and functional architecture and diagrammatic conventions defined in ITU-T Rec. G.805. In an ATM network two levels of multiplexing are used to provide routing flexibility for ATM cell streams. An ATM cell is 53 octets long consisting of a 5-octet header and a 48-octet information field. T

43、he VCI and VPI fields in the cell header are used to perform two levels of multiplexing. This is analogous to the use of time-slots and hierarchical multiplexing in STM networks. 4 ITU-T Rec.

44、ure: Virtual Channel (VC) Layer Network; Virtual Path (VP) Layer Network. 4.2.1 Virtual channel layer network The VC layer network provides the transport of adapted information through a VC trail between access points. The adapted information is a non-continuous flow of 48 octets plus one bit (used

45、by the client adaptation process) of client data. The VC layer network characteristic information is a non-continuous of flow of adapted information and F5 OAM information (see ITU-T Rec. I.610). The VC layer network contains the following transport processing functions and transport entities (see F

46、igure 1): VC trail; VC trail termination source (VCT source): generates F5 end-to-end OAM cells; VC trail termination sink (VCT sink): terminates F5 end-to-end OAM cells; VC network connection (VCNC); VC link connection (VCLC); VC subnetwork connection (VCSC).

48、output. The VC trail termination source can be used without binding its input to an adaptation function, e.g., for testing purposes. The VC trail termination sink accepts the characteristic information of the VC layer network at its input, removes the F5 end-to-end OAM cells and presents the adapted

49、 information at its output. The VC trail termination (VCT) consists of a co-located VC trail termination source and sink pair. 4.2.2 Virtual path layer network The VP layer network provides the transport of adapted information through a VP trail between access points. The adapted information is a non-continuous flow of VC layer network characteristic information plus the VCI and EFCI (Explicit Forward Congestion Indication) header fields.
