8、mber 2002. ii ITU-T Rec. Y.1261 (12/2002) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying tech
9、nical, 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 years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which,
10、 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 necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IE
11、C. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendatio
12、n 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 members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of

21、irements and architecture for voice services over Multi-Protocol Label Switching 1 Scope The scope of this Recommendation is to describe services requirements and architecture for transport of Voice Services over MPLS networks. Voice Services over MPLS networks include a family of protocols that may
22、 be supported over MPLS, including Voice over IP (as specified by IETF), Voice over MPLS (as specified by MPLS Forum) and I.366.2 Voice Trunking Format (based on ITU-T Rec. I.366.2 adapted for MPLS). An overview of several possible approaches that have been proposed as the basis for the family of pr
23、otocols for transporting Voice services over MPLS is provided in Appendix II. Nothing in this Recommendation precludes the progression of all these protocols for the transport of Voice Services over MPLS. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which,

33、ver MPLS: The term encompasses the set of technical approaches used to transport encoded voice over MPLS. This terminology is independent of the method by which MPLS frames are transported. 3.2 active voice: A sampled audio interval that has been determined to contain speech as opposed to silence. T
34、he classification is made by a Voice Activity Detection algorithm. It enables discontinuous transmission, whereby the bit rate of the signal is reduced during silent intervals. 3.3 audio: In the context of this Recommendation, audio is used as a general term for signals of the audible medium, includ
35、ing voice and voiceband data. 3.4 channel-associated signalling: Bits dedicated for connection control across a 1544 kbit/s or 2048 kbit/s interface that carries 64 kbit/s channels. Procedures are based on the state of up to four signalling bits (A, B, C, D) that are allocated per channel per multif
36、rame. 3.5 circuit mode data: A continuous stream of digital information at 64 kbit/s or 2 64 kbit/s having an 8 kHz structure. 3.6 dialled digits: Multifrequency audio tones typically used for inter-register signalling of addresses during call set-up or for end-to-end device control during an establ
37、ished call. Depending on the system, codes are defined for the digits 0-9 of a telephone keypad and other auxiliary signals. 3.7 facsimile demodulation/remodulation: The process of detecting facsimile traffic, extracting digital information from the incoming analogue modulated signal, transporting t
38、his across a trunk in packet formats, and reproducing the facsimile control and image information by remodulation at the other end. 3.8 silence insertion descriptor: A compressed representation of the audio background noise that can be sent during silent intervals. SIDs may not be continuous and may
39、 only be sent when ITU-T Rec. Y.1261 (12/2002) 3 there is a change in noise characteristics. Playing out received SIDs is known as Comfort Noise Generation. 4 Abbreviations This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: AAL ATM Adaptation Layer AMR Adaptive Multi-Rate ATM Asynchronous Transfe

42、Time Division Multiplexing UDP User Datagram Protocol 5 Architecture MPLS is being introduced into IP networks to support Traffic Engineering and various applications. One of the motivations for Voice Services over MPLS is to take advantage of the MPLS network capabilities to improve voice services
43、by: using label-switched-paths as a bearer capability for encoded voice thereby providing appropriate QoS capability; providing efficient transport mechanism. 4 ITU-T Rec. Y.1261 (12/2002) 5.1 Voice Services over MPLS logical service reference model A logical service reference model for Voice Servic
44、es over MPLS consists of two main components: 1) a high-capacity MPLS core network consisting of MPLS nodes (LSR) with support of MPLS control protocols; 2) Gateway Devices used at the edge of the MPLS network to perform interworking between a variety of technologies such as ATM, frame relay, TDM, I
45、P, PSTN, ISDN, etc. and the MPLS network. Figure 1 shows the Voice Services over MPLS logical service reference model including control plane, transport plane, and management plane.

The MPLS network contains a number of Gateway devices (GW), Label Switching Routers (LSR), and Label Switched Paths (LSP) 13, 14, 15. An example LSP is shown as a solid line in the

This architecture should be capable of supporting different LSP configurations (e.g., E-LSP, L-LSP 16, hierarchical LSP, etc.) to convey voice payloads in an MPLS environment. NOTE Voice Services over MPLS can be deployed in both core and access networks. Network architecture functions and definitions for the usage of Voice Services over MPLS in access networks are
