ITU-T Q.3050 (08/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized
10、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 issuing Recommendations on them with a v
11、iew 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 Recommend
12、ations 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 concis
13、eness 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 Recommendat
14、ion 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 Recommendation is required of any party. I

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights
16、, 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 Recommendation.

The NGN functional architecture supports the UNI, NNI, ANI and SNI reference points as described in clause 6.2 of ITU-T Y.2012. The NGN functions are divided into service stratum func
45、tions and transport stratum functions according to ITU-T Y.2011. To provide these services, several functions are necessary in both the service stratum and the transport stratum, as illustrated in Figure 1.
