13、ion Union (ITU) 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 ques
14、tions 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, in turn, produce Recommendation
15、s 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 IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation,
16、the expression “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
17、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 equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance w
18、ith the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU 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 appl
19、icability 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, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to impl

47、S-NICE S-NICE is a specific implementation of NICE making use of software-defined networking (SDN) technologies. In S-NICE, the functional entities such as service control functional entity (FE), content and context analysis FE, policy control FE, traffic scheduling FE need to be redesigned and impl
48、emented based on the SDN technologies. S-NICE supports the major functions of SDN technologies including the decoupling of control and data planes, the logical centralization of network intelligence and status and the abstraction of the underlying network infrastructure for the applications. By adop
49、ting SDN technologies, highly scalable and flexible control as well as programmable and automatic interaction between network and applications can be supported in S-NICE. In S-NICE, the control plane functions are centralized in the S-NICE controller, which maintains a global view of the data plane including network status and traffic information. As a result, the data plane appears to the S-NICE controller as an abstracted logical network/resource. Meanwhile, the functional ent
