ITU-T Y.2111 (11/2011) i Recommendation ITU-T Y.2111 Resource and admission control functions in next generation networks Summary Recommendation ITU-T Y.2111 specifies the functional architecture and requirements for the resource and admissio

8、n control functions (RACF) in next generation networks (NGN), which may involve a variety of access and core transport technologies and multiple domains. The RACF provides real-time application-driven and policy-based transport resource management in support of end-to-end quality of service (QoS), g

9、ate control, network address translation, and traversal of remote network address translators. The RACF is not service-specific. Services can make use of RACF whether the IP multimedia subsystem is involved or not. In particular, this edition of Recommendation ITU-T Y.2111 includes extensions to the

10、 2008 edition to address issues related to the interaction with 3GPP policy control functionalities, resource and admission control between NGNs and RACF-unaware IP networks, wholesale, time-shifted TV services, QoS downgrading, mobility, resource and admission control based on user subscription pro

11、file, support of deep packet inspection (DPI), communication between RACF and management of performance measurement (MPM), policy-based charging control, and IPTV service by invitation.

12、3.0 ITU-T Y.2111 2011-11-29 13 ii Rec. ITU-T Y.2111 (11/2011) 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 Standardization Sector (ITU

13、-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), which meets every four y

14、ears, 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 ITU-Ts purview, the ne

15、cessary 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 Recommendation is voluntary. Howe

16、ver, 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 “must“ and the negative

17、 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 draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use o

18、f 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 this Recommendation, I

19、TU had received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.i

ITU-T Y.2111 (11/2011) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Y.2111 Resource and admission control functions in next generation networks 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies the resource and

33、admission control functions (RACF) in support of end-to-end quality of service (QoS) and network border control (at access-core and inter-domain boundaries) in next generation networks (NGNs). The RACF is aimed at providing real-time application-driven and policy-based transport resource management

34、for a wide range of services and for a variety of transport technologies (e.g., fixed or mobile). Services can make use of RACF whether the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is involved or not. This Recommendation defines the related requirements and functional architecture covering aspects such as reso

35、urce reservation, admission control and gate control, network address port translation (NAPT) and firewall control, and network address translator (NAT) traversal. This Recommendation defines the related requirements and functional architecture covering aspects such as interactions with 3GPP policy

36、control functionalities, resource and admission control between NGNs and RACF-unaware IP networks, wholesale, time-shifted TV services, QoS downgrading, mobility, resource and admission control based on user subscription profile, support of deep packet inspection (DPI), communication between RACF an

37、d management of performance measurement (MPM), policy-based charging control, and IPTV service by invitation. It also defines the reference points between different functional entities and the pertinent stage 2 requirements and describes the procedures for QoS-related transport resource control, NAP

38、T control, NAT traversal, inter-operator communication including other NGN and non-NGN providers, mobility support, performance measurement support, and policy-based charging control support. The pertinent protocol specifications are described in separate Recommendations. End-to-end information flow

39、s for representative applications, such as VoIP, bulk data transfer and video on demand, are for further study. Note that network management functionality is outside the scope of this Recommendation. Administrations may require operators and service providers to take into account national regulatory

40、 and national policy requirements in implementing this Recommendation. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

As a minimum, a chargeable event characterizes the resource/service usage and indicates the identity of the involved end user(s). 3
