ITU-T D.000 (05/2010) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
11、is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, 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 issuin
12、g Recommendations on them with a view 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 topic
13、s. 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 necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “
14、Administration“ is used for conciseness 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) an
15、d 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 equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommend
16、ation 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 of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of cla
17、imed 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, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recom
18、mendation. 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.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

23、erms and definitions for the D-series Recommendations 1 Requirements 1.1 There is a need for a structured approach to developing and using terms and definitions in D-series Recommendations. Such an approach will enhance the clarity of Recommendations and the effectiveness of communications related t
24、o the development and application of Recommendations. 1.2 There are many existing terms originally defined in technical/operational contexts which are being used with tariff connotations. There is a need for the qualification and/or definition of such terms for tarification purposes. 2 General princ
25、iples 2.1 It is desirable that, to the greatest extent possible, terms used in D-series Recommendations be applied with the same and unique definition in these Recommendations (see clause 3). 2.2 It is recognized that for certain reasons (e.g., increased precision) in certain cases, the general defi
26、nition given as per clause 3 might not be appropriate in a specific Recommendation. In such instances the qualification of the term for use in that specific Recommendation should be indicated by a footnote. 2.3 In the absence of a general definition as per clause 3, terms that may give rise to misin
27、terpretation should be defined within the specific Recommendation. 2.4 In cases of non-tariff terms used in D-series Recommendations, their use should generally be consistent with ITU-T Terms and Definitions Database. 3 List of definitions A list of terms with definitions applicable to D-series Reco
28、mmendations is provided in Annex A. 2 Rec. ITU-T D.000 (05/2010) Annex A Definitions (This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation) A.1 Accounting rate The rate agreed between Administrations in a given relation that is used for the establishment of international accounts.1A.2 Settlement
29、 rate A rate agreed between involved administrations/ROAs for terminating incoming traffic. A.3 Termination charge A charge set by the destination administration/ROA for terminating incoming traffic regardless of origin. A.4 Collection charge The charge established and collected by an Administration
30、 from its customers for the use of an international telecommunication service.

A.6 Rental Payment(s) due to Administrations for the p
31、rovision of certain facilities or access to certain facilities/services for designated periods. A.7 Network (service) access component A tariff component, normally intended to compensate Administrations for the facilities required for a customer to access a service or services, which is independent
32、of service utilization. A.8 Network (service) utilization component A tariff component which is normally intended to cover the costs of a service that are dependent on the customers use of the network resources and any additional functions. A.9 Service invocation component A tariff component which i
33、s normally intended to cover the per event cost of activating a service, already subscribed to. A.10 Full refund Reimbursement to the customer of the total charges paid to the Administration for the service/facility in question. _ 1Definition adopted by the World Administration Telegraph and Telepho
34、ne Conference, Melbourne, 1988. Rec. ITU-T D.000 (05/2010) 3 A.11 Partial refund Reimbursement to the customer of only part of the total charges paid to the Administration for the service/facility in question. A.12 Relation Exchange of traffic between two terminal countries, always referring to a sp
35、ecific service if there is between their Administrations: a) a means for the exchange of traffic in that specific service either over direct circuits (direct relation), or via a point of transit in a third country (indirect relation), and b) normally, the settlement of accounts. A.13 Origin country
36、(or Administration) The country in which the traffic originates. A.14 Destination country (or Administration) The country in which the traffic terminates. A.15 Terminal country (or Administration) An origin country and a destination country in a given relation. A.16 Transit country (or Administratio

40、 D.000 (05/2010) A.19 Remuneration for shared use and exclusive use A.19.1 Remuneration for shared use of circuits and equipment The expression “remuneration for shared use“ refers to the remuneration paid to the Administration of a country P which makes its facilities available to a number of Admin
41、istrations of other countries L1, L2 , . . ., Lnfor the routing of different international traffic streams. It may apply either to circuits or to switching equipment. Under the control of the owner Administration, the use of such facilities may be shared in any appropriate manner with other Administ
42、rations (including the Administration which owns them). The latter sets the price for the shared use of its facilities: a) either according to the number of traffic units; b) or by a fixed amount covering a certain period of time and based on the estimated volume of traffic and its time characterist
43、ics. A.19.2 Remuneration for exclusive use of circuits A.19.2.1 The remuneration for exclusive use is the remuneration paid to the Administration of a country which makes its circuits available for direct transit, each circuit being assigned on an exclusive basis. The volume of traffic, its origin a
44、nd its fluctuations in time are not the concern of the owner Administration and have no effect on the amount of the remuneration, which is paid circuit by circuit. The owner does not control the traffic routed over the circuit. This is the conventional lease arrangement between Administrations. A.19
45、.2.2 For further clarification, it should be mentioned that: a) the general term “lease“ (in French: location) used until now applies only to the case cited in clause A.19.2.1 above where exclusive use is granted; b) the term “owner“ in these definitions refers to an Administration which receives th
46、e remuneration and which grants the rights to another Administration. The owner may have real ownership or the indefeasible right of use of the facilities. A.20 Flat-rate price per circuit procedure The procedure which consists of remunerating an Administration on the basis of a flat-rate price per
47、circuit. A.21 Traffic-unit price procedure The procedure whereby remuneration of an Administration is based on traffic units. A.22 Accounting revenue division procedure The procedure whereby accounting revenue is shared between terminal Administrations, and, as appropriate, between the Administratio
48、ns of transit countries. A.23 Accounting rate share The part of the accounting rate corresponding to the facilities made available in each country; this share is fixed by agreement among the Administrations. A.24 Terminal share The part of the accounting rate which is due to a terminal Administratio
49、n. A.25 Transit share The part of the accounting rate which is due to an intermediate Administration whose territory, installations or circuits are used to route traffic between two terminal countries. Rec. ITU-T D.000 (05/2010) 5 A.26 Per word tariff system In the per word tariff system, rates are established per word purely and simply, the word-counting provisions of the relevant ITU-T Recommendations being applied. A minimum rate per telegram corresponding to the rate for a certain number of words is applied. In the per
