The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recomme

3、n- dations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topi

4、cs. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). IT-T Recommendation X.115 was prepared by ITU-T Study Group 7 (1993-1996) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 10t

5、h of April 1995. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.

14、14 1 ITU-T RECflN*X.LLS 75 4862571 0603236 036 = SUMMARY This Recommendation provides definition of the address translation service, the service provided to its customers, the functions at the network interface and functions within the network when providing this service. The address translation ser

15、vice provides customers the ability to use addresses in formats other than X.121 or E.164 (e.g. user friends addresses like mnemonic addresses, etc.). The addresses can be any of the alternative addresses defined in Recommendation X.25. The network will translate the address in the Call Request pack

16、et to the desired address to complete the call. 11 Recommendation X.115 (04195) ITU-T RECMN*X-LLS 95 4Ab2591 Ob03237 T72 INTRODUCTION This Recommendation provides a definition of the address translation service, the services provided to its customers, the functions at the network interface and the f

17、unctions within the network when providing the service. Recommendation X.121 specifies the numbering plan for Public Data Networks (PDNs), Recommendation E. 164 specifies the numbering plan for the Integrated Services Digital Network era. Recommendation X. 122E. 166 defines the general procedures ap

18、plicable to numbering plan interworking between ISDNs and PSPDNs; ISDNs and PSTNs; and PSPDNs and PSTNs. “A DTE on a PDN is identified by an international data number, which consists of the Data Network Identification Code (DNIC) of the PDN, followed by Network Terminal Number (NTN) of the called DT

19、EDCE interface, or the Data Country Code (DCC) followed by the National Number.” Recommendation X.25 allows the called DTE address to conform to the formats described in Recommendations X.121, Recommendation E. 164 or an alternative address. Recommendation X.25 specifies a set of Altenarive Addressi

20、ng facilities that enables a calling DTE to use an alternative address to identity the called DTE when establishing a virtual call. An alternative address is defined as one that does not conform to the formats defined in Recommendations X.121 and X.301. The altemative addresses are for example, OS1

21、NSAP address, MAC address, etc. In addition, Recommendation X.25 includes Call Deflection and Call Redirection facilities. Recommendation X.35 presents different PSPDNPSPvtDN interworking routing alternatives. Among the many alternatives that are discussed in X.35, the most relevant routing strategy

22、 is the case where routing is based on a non- X.121 PSPvtDN DTE Address. This is because the addresses assigned to DTEs on the PSPvDN need not be from the PSPDN numbering plan. The addresses assigned to DTEs in PSPvtDN can be an OS1 NSAP address or from a PSPvtDN addressing plan. The PSPDN in this c

23、ase may desire to offer a capability to route the call either on the PSPvtDN numbering plan or on the OS1 NSAP address rather than requiring “two stage dialling”. This Recommendation defines the service that can be provided by PSPDNs to its customers (i.e. DTEs or PSPvtDNs), the requirements on DTEs

24、 when using this service and the functions that must be provided in PSPDNs to offer such a service. This Recommendation does not specify the interface specifications or the protocol elements that would be used to provide the address translation service. .
