ITU-T Y.2080 (06/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommu

10、nications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). 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 telecommuni

11、cations 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 Recommendations is covered by the procedu

12、re 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 conciseness to indicate both a telecom

13、munication 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 is achieved when all of thes

14、e 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. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU

15、draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation 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 member

16、s or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not

ITU-T Y.2206 Recommendation ITU-T Y.2206 (2010), Requirements for distributed service networking capabilities. 3 Definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere: 3.1

26、.1 control plane ITU-T Y.2011: The set of functions that controls the operation of entities in the stratum or layer under consideration, plus the functions required to support this control. 3.1.2 distributed service networking ITU-T Y.2206: An overlay networking which provides distributed and manage

27、able capabilities to support various multimedia services and applications. 3.1.3 DSN node ITU-T Y.2206: A node used in DSN providing distributed functionalities, including distributed routing and distributed storage. 3.1.4 functional entity ITU-T Y.2012: An entity that comprises an indivisible set o

28、f specific functions. Functional entities are logical concepts, while groupings of functional entities are used to describe practical, physical implementations. 3.1.5 hash function b-ITU-T X.810: A (mathematical) function that maps values from a (possibly very) large set of values into a smaller ran

29、ge of values. 3.1.6 management plane ITU-T Y.2011: The set of functions used to manage entities in the stratum or layer under consideration, plus the functions required to support this management. 2 Rec. ITU-T Y.2080 (06/2012) 3.1.7 overlay network b-ITU-T Y-Sup.10: A network of nodes and logical li

30、nks that is built on top of the underlying, e.g., transport, network with the purpose of providing network service that is not available in the underlying network. 3.1.8 peer-to-peer (P2P) ITU-T Y.2206: A system is considered to be P2P if the nodes of the system share their resources in order to pro

31、vide the service the system supports. The nodes in the system both provide services to other nodes and request services from other nodes. NOTE Peer is the node in a P2P system. 3.1.9 reference point ITU-T Y.2012: A conceptual point at the conjunction of two non-overlapping functional entities that c

32、an be used to identify the type of information passing between these functional entities. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 bootstrap node: The first node of the overlay network to which an enrolling node can connect. 3.2.2 buffer map: A

33、map indicating the availability of chunks in a DSN node, which can be shared between DSN nodes. 3.2.3 chunk: A basic unit of data resulting from partitioning content into defined component parts. NOTE A DSN node may use a chunk as a unit of storage, advertisement and exchange among peers. 3.2.4 cont

34、ent delivery: In the context of the DSN functional architecture, the operation of sending and receiving content between the requested peer and the requesting peer or client. NOTE A client is a service consumer external to DSN. A peer is a node within DSN. 3.2.5 content distribution: In the context o

35、f the DSN functional architecture, the whole process of content sending from one or more content sources, and sharing among DSN nodes. NOTE During the content distribution process, content is often sent to appropriate intermediate nodes to enable subsequent delivery. 3.2.6 content ID: In the context

36、 of the DSN functional architecture, a global unique content name for identifying the content. 3.2.7 content node: A DSN node which can be used for media content distribution, storage and/or caching. 3.2.8 control node: A DSN node which provides service control functionalities. 3.2.9 distributed has

37、h table (DHT): A hash table which is stored across a set of distributed peers. 3.2.10 hash table: A data structure that uses a hash function for mapping input values to their associated attributes. A hash function is applied to map the input values (typically a large range of them) to a smaller rang

38、e of index values that are spread in an equal probability distribution in its range statistically. The resulting index values point to the tables which manage the attributes associated to the original input values. NOTE In a common implementation, the first step (index calculation) is installed in a

39、ny nodes enquiring for the associated attributes and the second step (attribute table) is installed in a dedicated node. 3.2.11 overlay algorithm: An algorithm which forms and maintains a topology of interconnections among the peers, and determines the peers for storing a particular piece of data in

40、 the overlay (i.e., independent from the underlying network) and locates the peers in order to find a piece of data. Rec. ITU-T Y.2080 (06/2012) 3 3.2.12 relay node: A DSN node which relays data packets in order to improve node reachability and QoS by changing the original route of the packets. The

41、data can be voice data, video data, etc. 3.2.13 resource: In the context of the DSN functional architecture, data or an instance of service logic residing in DSN nodes. A resource in DSN is accessible by authorized DSN nodes only. NOTE 1 Examples of resource in DSN include user profile data, content

42、, relay, session control or other service capability. NOTE 2 In the DSN environment, resources can have multiple replicas residing in different DSN nodes. 3.2.14 user profile: In the context of the DSN functional architecture, a collection of information that specifies the subscribed services and ac

43、cess privileges related to a DSN service user. The data in the user profile is called user profile data. NOTE A user profile may include the following attributes: user ID and other data related to authentication and authorization, user preferences, service status, service class, usage and/or contrib

44、ution information, or subscriber accounting characteristics, etc. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: AF Application Function CDF Content Delivery Function CPU Central Processing Unit CSAF Content Service Application Function DHT Distribute

47、unctional entities. It is represented by the following symbol: 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.2080 (06/2012) 2) In this Recommendation: The keywords “is required to“ and “is prohibited from“ indicate a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this docume

48、nt is to be claimed. The keywords “is recommended“ indicate a requirement which is recommended but which is not absolutely required. Thus adherence to this requirement need not be present to claim conformance. The keywords “can optionally“ indicate an optional requirement which is permissible, witho

49、ut implying any sense of being recommended. This term means the vendor may not choose to provide the feature (and an operator may choose not to offer it) but still claim conformance with the Recommendation. In the main body of this Recommendation and its annexes, the words “shall“, “shall not“, “should“, and “may“ sometimes appear, in which case they are to be interpreted, respectively, as “is required to“, “is prohibited from“, “is recommended“ and “can optionally“.
