19、s for IP transfer capabilities to support IP-based services; service level agreement for IP-based services.By introducing the concept of the service plane, the possible sets of attributes for IP transfercapabilities to support the IP-based services are given.Figure 1 shows the relationship of this R
20、ecommendation with related IP Recommendations.IP-based services may be supported on IP above any layer 1 and layer 2 transport capable ofsupporting IP. While Figure 1 shows ATM as the transport mechanism, other underlying transfermechanisms can be used to provide the same IP-based services. The use

28、user interacts. For example, serviceinvocation, control service level agreement function, etc.Note that a) and b) use the totality of the transfer capabilities including control and managementfunctionalities.3.2 IP-based service: An IP-based service is defined as a service provided by the service pl
29、aneto an end user (e.g. a host (end system) or a network element) and which utilizes the IP transfercapabilities and associated control and management functions, for delivery of the user informationspecified by the service level agreements.3.3 IP network service: An IP Network Service is defined as
30、a data transmission service inwhich the data passed across the interface between the user and provider is transferred in the form ofIP (Internet Protocol) packets (sometimes called datagrams). IP Network Service includes the serviceprovided by using the IP Transfer Capabilities.3.4 IP transfer capab
31、ility: IP Transfer Capability is defined as the set of network capabilitiesprovided by the IP layer. It may be characterized by the traffic contract as well as performanceattributes supported by control and management functions of the underlying protocol layers.3.5 service level agreement: Service L
32、evel Agreement (SLA) is a negotiated agreementbetween a customer and the service provider on levels of service characteristics and the associatedset of metrics. The content of SLA varies depending on the service offering and includes theattributes required for the negotiated agreement.ITU-T Y.1241 (

36、An IP-based service is specified according to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) attributes assigned(see clause 7). While an IP-based service usually has an end-to-end context it may be provided insituations in which part of the connection is IP-based network while another part of the connection is4
37、ITU-T Y.1241 (03/2001)not IP-based. One typical example is a voice service, with voice over IP in an IP-based networkinterworking with the existing circuit switched voice network. Other examples of non IP-basednetwork interworking with IP-based network to support an IP-based service end to end exist
38、. Furtherinformation on IP interworking is given in ITU-T Y.1401 9. In the case of interworking, the SLAattributes will be specified only for the IP-based network portion of the connection.Figure 2 presents a reference framework illustrating applications of IP transfer capability and IP-based servic

The IP-based services are specifiedand characterized by the SLA attributes assigned in the service contract.However, using similar concepts as in ITU-T I.211 1, IP-based services can be categorized as“Interactive“ and “Distributive“.The interactive category is s
43、ubdivided into three classes:conversational services: such as internet telephony, remote login, electronic data exchange,videoconferencing, video telephony, home banking, tele-education and interactive games;messaging services: such as electronic mail (e-mail), voice e-mail, video e-mail, and intern
44、etfax;ITU-T Y.1241 (03/2001) 5retrieval services: such as web browsing (www, gopher), file downloading (ftp),internet VoD (Video-on-demand) and news retrieval.The distributive category is subdivided into two classes:distribution services without user individual presentation control: such as broadcas
45、ting,multicasting and electronic newspaper;distribution services with user individual presentation control: such as video-on-demand andnews-on-demand.5.3 Communication configurationsCommunication in IP-based networks can be divided in several configurations similar to B-ISDN asdefined in ITU-T I.313
46、 2. In this Recommendation configurations are classified as point-to-point,unidirectional point-to-multipoint, unidirectional multipoint-to-point, multipoint-to-multipoint andbidirectional point-to-multipoint.5.3.1 Point-to-point communication configurationA point-to-point connection configuration m
