Bob,

Yes "tripPeerRtTypeProtocolId" is the same as
"tripPeerRtTypeSupportedProtocol"
and "tripPeerRtTypeAddrFamilyId" is the same as
"tripPeerRtTypeAddrFamily". The problem is that SNMPv2 describes
indexes in a table as having a MAX-ACCESS of not-accessible.
This creates a problem of a table where the only important attributes
are the indexes. Instead of using a rowStatus attribute (which would
be silly since we can neither write to or create any elements in
the table), I wanted to use something more useful. Since the only
things important here are the protocol and address family, I used
those, even though I know they are redundant. If this is too awkward,
I can use the rowStatus, or just one of the existing objects.

Cheers,
DZ

David,

I think that is an excellent solution. I'm a bit confused though. Why are
there 4 fields in the
tripPeerRouteTypeEntry sub-table? What is the difference between
"tripPeerRtTypeProtocolId" and
"tripPeerRtTypeSupportedProtocol" ? What is the difference between
"tripPeerRtTypeAddrFamilyId" and "tripPeerRtTypeAddrFamily" ? Please forgive
my MIB ignorance.

URGENT: HELP STOP HR 1542!


April 30, 2001 - The Republican leadership of the U.S. House of
Representatives is preparing to push through a bill that caves in to the
Bell Companies and opens the door for the FCC to regulate IP voice over
data networks.


The "Tauzin-Dingell Broadband Bill" incorporates for the first time
Internet applications and broadband in the legacy telecom regulatory
framework. The bill will make it illegal to offer IP based voice services
over the Internet and give the Bells hooks to kill off remaining broadband
competitors.


The US House of Representatives Telecommunications Subcommitte approved "HR
1542" on Thursday, April 26th. The bill will get voted on by the Commerce
Committee and the full House of Representatives soon.


The Internet has prospered precisely because applications remained beyond
the reach of regulators. The Bell companies have used regulatory means to
build monopoly advantage in virtually all areas of telecommunications. The
Bells have so far failed to monopolize Internet applications, such as;
email, world wide web, VoIP, ecommerce, streaming, peer-to-peer networking,
and others as yet unknown.


The entire bill starting with its title "Internet Freedom and Broadband
Deployment Act" is remarkably disingenuous. The bill ends Internet freedom
and removes any hope for broadband deployment. Existing telecom regulations
make no mention of the "Internet". Tauzin's bill which takes the form of
amending existing regulations specifically uses the word "Internet" 50
times. The Bell companies have served and continue to serve as the dominant
obstacle to broadband deployment. The Bells have longstanding efforts to
protect their lucrative business selling 1970's T1 technology from
competition. Bell efforts to deploy DSL appear only in areas where a
competitor exists. Their deployments slow, customer service degrades, and
prices rise as soon as they weaken or kill off competition.


Provisions of the bill:
     Incorporates Internet applications in framework established by Telecom
     Act of 1934
          Defines for the first time meaning of term "Internet"
          Defines for the first time meaning of term "Internet Access"
          Defines for the first time meaning of broadband "High Speed Data
     Service"
     Makes voice applications of Internet illegal
     Eliminates limitations on Bell entry into long distance data service
     business
     Eliminates requirements on Bells to resell broadband related services
In other words, it removes all regulatory restraint on the Bell monopolies
leaving no prospects for competition. No matter how the Bells might want to
spin the story, actions speak clearly that monopolies produce high prices
for substandard services. Long distance, wireless, and Internet access
services have improved in quality with declining prices only to extent
competition existed. The Bell monopoly controlled local service has not
improved even given increasing prices since the break up of AT&T in 1984.


A year ago we rallied and as an industry and helped stop HR 1291. We can do
it again. WE MUST STOP HR 1542!


Applications of the Internet should remain unregulated, with no exceptions
for voice applications and services.


Contact your representative in Congress via the switchboard at
1.202.224.3121


I urge you to call and email your Representative and the House Leadership
with the message that HR 1542 is a mistake. The Internet should remain
unregulated, without no exceptions for voice applications and services.
http://www.house.gov and http://www.house.gov/writerep will help you locate
the address of your Representative.


Let them know that: "The Internet Freedom and Broadband Deployment Act"
does neither!
If they open the door to regulating any Internet service, it will set a
terrible precedent
Using the Internet for voice communications is a good thing and should not
be regulated or taxed. Consumers will be hurt and only the old monopoly
telephone companies will benefit.
Internet voice services are used mostly by low income people for
international communications, as a substitute for vastly inflated
international long-distance calls.
This is a new source of privacy concerns, as companies pry apart traffic
streams to determine what's "voice"

I think thats fine.

We can roll this in during any revs we do as a result of IESG last call. I
want to speed this on its way to IESG.

Hi folks...

Is there any (pre-alpha alpha! :-) implementation of TRIP, or any plans for
one in the near future?

Thanks,

Dimitris

Yes; two project students here just completed a C++ parser for TRIP.
We'll see what shape the code is in and then release it.

Something annoying just occured to me for CPL's time-switch, while I was
writing up a comment for the CalSch list.

We've been assuming you can treat iCalendar's EXRULE/EXDATE as an additional
time-switch output.  However, consider the following (plausible) scenario.

1.  The base rule is "Between 9 and 5, anyone can ring at my desk.  Outside
of that time, this group of people are allowed to call my cel phone."  So
far so good.  Call these time-switch rules 3 and 4 (where 4 is an
<otherwise>.)

2.  You add a rule (listed before this) saying "I have a very important
meeting between 4 and 6 every Wednesday; during this time, no one is allowed
to reach me at all."  Again, so far so good; this just gets listed as an
earlier rule in the time-switch.  Call this time-switch rule 2.

3.  "On Wednesday, May 23, 2001, the special meeting is canceled, so on that
particular day my regular rules should resume."  Call this rule 1 -- but
what should it be?

What we want in this case is a way to be able to say that rule 1 should
cause rule 2 to be jumped over, continuing with 3 and 4.

One, moderately ugly, solution would be implement this as a cascaded
sequence of <time-switch> nodes and subs, looking like
<sub foo>
  <time-switch>
    <time rule3> [desk] </time>
    <otherwise> [celphone] </otherwise>
  </ts>
</sub>

<incoming>
  <time-switch>
    <time rule1> <sub foo /> </time>
    <time rule2> [voicemail] </time>
    <otherwise> <sub foo /> </time>
  </ts>
</inc>

Even worse, we could split rule1 into rule1a and rule1b, reflecting the
intersections of rule1 with rule3 and rule4 respectively.  This is, however,
awful (and probably not generally possible).

Is it okay if we say that EXDATE and EXRULE should always get translated
into time-switches of the sub-output-sub form?  Or do we need some explicit
way of letting one rule force us to "jump over" subsequent rules?

It might be a matter of style but I think this solution isn't that ugly, just
inefficient

<incoming>
    <time-switch>
        <time rule 2>
            <time-switch>
                <time rule1> <sub foo /> </time>
                <otherwise> [voicemail] </otherwise>
            </time-switch>
        </time>
        <otherwise> <sub foo /> </otherwise>
    </time-switch>
</incoming>

is more efficient but ugly.

I can't see the problem here and think "jumping over" rules is worse, subactions
are the best solution IMO.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Telephony Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Telephony Routing over IP (TRIP)
	Author(s)	: J. Rosenberg, H. Salama, M. Squire
	Filename	: draft-ietf-iptel-trip-06.txt
	Pages		: 82
	Date		: 21-May-01
	
This document presents the Telephony Routing over IP (TRIP). TRIP is
a policy driven inter-administrative domain protocol for advertising
the reachability of telephony destinations between location servers,
and for advertising attributes of the routes to those destinations.
TRIPÆs operation is independent of any signaling protocol, hence
TRIP can serve as the telephony routing protocol for any signaling
protocol.
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) is used to distribute routing
information between administrative domains. TRIP is used to
distribute telephony routing information between telephony
administrative domains. The similarity between the two protocols is
obvious, and hence TRIP is modeled after BGP-4.

<paraindent><param>right</param><FontFamily><param>Courier New</param>Gene=

<paraindent><param>right</param>Within ITU-T SG11 work has started on 
requirements for a generic protocol mechanism 
for end-to-end QoS service control. It was 
agreed within SG11 to proceed with this work 
utilising deliverables of ETSI TIPHON on end-
to-end QoS service control as base material. 
It is the opinion of SG11 that this generic 
protocol mechanism for BICC intends to apply 
also to other protocols like SIP/SDP and 
H.323 next to generic extensions to the 
H.248/MEGACO protocol.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>It was noted that also QoS related work is=
 in 
progress in IETF. Please find attached an 
initial draft of the BICC CS3 signalling 
requirements for end-to-end QoS service 
control. Please note the rationale for this 
activity and the framework for end-to-end QoS 
service control and network QoS control. The 
framework illustrates the field of 
application of the QoS handling at different 
levels and the different protocols involved.</paraindent>



<paraindent><param>right</param>Proposals on end-to-end QoS service contro=
l</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>It is proposed to start a joint activity w=
ith 
IETF on a generic protocol mechanism for end-
to-end QoS service control. This refers to 
the potential work in IETF on the following 
topics:</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>- Identification of the signalling 
requirements based on the ETSI TIPHON defined 
speech QoS service classes for VoIP and the 
signalling and control of end-to-end QoS for 
VoIP. The attachment provides the initial 
draft of the BICC CS3 signalling requirements 
for end-to-end QoS service control.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>- The definition of a generic call/bearer 
control mechanism in H.225/H.245, SIP/SDP and 
BICC CS3 for end-to-end QoS service control 
in the application plane.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>- The definition of generic extensions to 
H.248/MEGACO for end-to-end QoS service 
control between the application plane and the 
transport plane.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>- The translation between the generic 
protocol QoS information elements in 
H.248/MEGACO and the technology specific QoS 
parameters and QoS mechanisms in IP, ATM, 
MPLS, etc.</paraindent>



<paraindent><param>right</param>Proposals on IP QoS classes and IP Transfe=
r 
Capabilities</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>ITU-T SG11 would like to inform IETF that =
it 
is investigating signalling requirements for 
protocol development based on the IP Transfer 
Capabilities and IP QoS classes, as being 
defined by ITU-T SG13 in Y.1541 and Y.iptc. 
The plan is to build upon signalling 
approaches developed by IETF. We would like 
to stress that the work on IP QoS classes and 
IP Transfer Capabilities by ITU-T SG13 is co-
ordinated with IETF.</paraindent>

presentation available at the URL: 
http://docbox.etsi.org/tech-
org/tiphon/Document/tiphon/ARCHIVES/2000/05-
200012-
Kyoto/WG5%20TIPHON21%20presentation%20Rev1.ppt
). It shows the inter-relationship between 
the different QoS factors that finally 
determine </paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param>the perceived speech quality by the end-
users. This perceived speech quality does not 
only depend on network quality of service 
(network packet loss, network jitter and 
network delay) but on the terminal 
implementation (jitter buffers and codec 
performance) as well. </paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param> </paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param>A second rationale is that end-to-end QoS 
requirements can be regarded as end-to-end 
quality budgets related to the media flows. 
To achieve the required end-to-end QoS these 
quality budgets must be allocated between the 
domains, including the user equipment (see 
Figure 7 in ETSI TS 301 329 part 3). The 
Transport QoS Parameters specify the QoS 
budgets for each Transport Domain. It is 
assumed that the performance of each domain 
is statistically independent from any other.</paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param> </paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param>Therefore end-to-end QoS service control a=
t 
the call control level (i.e. application 
plane) is required based on generic 
signalling procedures in protocols like BICC, 
SIP/SDP, H.323 and H.248/MEGACO for end-to-
end QoS service control.</paraindent>



<paraindent><param>right</param>2 Framework for end-to-end QoS service 
control and network QoS control.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>A framework for QoS control may be conside=
red 
at different levels: call control (BICC, 
SIP/SDP, H.323), vertical control 
(H.248/MEGACO, CBC), bearer control (IP BCP) 
and bearer (DiffServ, IntServ/RSVP or 
MPLS/LDP).</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>1) Call-control </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>a) End-to-end QoS service control is 
negotiated/communicated end-to-end at the 
call control level. ETSI TIPHON has defined a 
set of speech QoS classes, and signalling 
requirements and flows for this purpose. </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>The idea is that call control protocols ar=
e 
enhanced with a generic end-to-end QoS 
service control mechanism to negotiate these 
speech QoS classes and associated parameters 
(Maximum delay, Maximum packet delay 
variation, Maximum packet loss, Peak bit rate 
and Maximum packet size). </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>Such a generic end-to-end QoS service cont=
rol 
mechanism should be defined independent of 
the underlying technology (ATM or IP) and 
operate across network domains and including 
terminal characteristics to 
negotiate/communicate the requested listener 
speech quality that will be perceived by the 
end-users (i.e. "mouth-to-ear").</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>b) BICC (Q.190x) is one of the call contro=
l 
protocols that may be enhanced this way. 
Similar enhancements may be applicable to 
other call-control protocols like SIP/SDP and 
H.323.</paraindent>



<paraindent><param>right</param>2) Vertical control </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>a) QoS service control is also 
negotiated/communicated at the vertical 
control level. The ETSI TIPHON defined 
signalling requirements and flows include the 
vertical interface. The idea is that vertical 
control protocols are enhanced to 
negotiate/communicate the QoS settings 
(Maximum delay, Maximum packet delay 
variation, Maximum packet loss, Peak bit rate 
and Maximum packet size) in the bearer core 
network based on generic H.248/MEGACO 
extensions.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>These QoS settings should be defined 
independent of the underlying technology (ATM 
or IP) of the bearer core network.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>b) CBC (Q.1950) is one of the vertical 
control protocols that may be enhanced this 
way.</paraindent>



<paraindent><param>right</param>3) Bearer control </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>a) Network QoS is negotiated/communicated =
at 
the bearer control level. ATM signalling does 
already intrinsically support network QoS. 
SG13 has recently defined IP QoS classes and 
IP Transfer Capabilities. </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>The idea is that bearer control protocols =
for 
IP are enhanced with a mechanism to negotiate 
the network QoS by using IP QoS classes and 
IP Transfer Capabilities. </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>b) IP BCP (Q.1970) is an IP bearer control=
 
protocol that may be enhanced this way.</paraindent>



<paraindent><param>right</param>4) Bearer </paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>a) Network QoS is negotiated/communicated =
at 
the bearer level, i.e. as part of the 
protocols associated with the bearers in the 
core network. The idea is that IP QoS classes 
and IP Transfer Capabilties, as defined by 
SG13, are used to differentiate between 
different types of IP traffic.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>b) IP QoS classes and IP Transfer 
Capabilities may be used to enhance existing 
IP mechanisms like DiffServ, IntServ/RSVP and 
MPLS/LDP.</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param> </paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param>3 QoS information flows applicable to BICC=
</paraindent>


<paraindent><param>right</param>A general model is considered for QoS 
information flows with BICC when making a 
translation of the relevant parts in Figure 8 
in ETSI TS 301 329 part 3.</paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param> </paraindent>

<paraindent><param>right</param>Section 4 details the Q.BICC related QoS 
primitives and parameters based on the QoS 
primitives and parameters in the ETSI 
deliverable. Similarly, section 5 provides 
the Q.CBC related QoS primitives and

Hi, Everyone:
 
Question Q.F/16 of ITU-T SG16 is fully dedicated for developing standards
for "End-to-End QOS for Multimedia Applications". Contributions are also
being under discussion in the ITU-T SG16 Brazil May 28 - June 8, 2001
meeting.
 
Applications like H.323, SIP, H.324, H.310, and others will also be able to
use this Q.F/16's QOS signaling protocol. MEGACO/H.248 and BICC will also be
able to use this when specs are fully developed and, TIPHON's QOS mechanisms
can also be used as one of the mechanisms for implementations.
 
BICC and MEGCAO/H.248 are only used as the protocol between the gateways,
NOT end-to-end (although SIP/H.323 or other protocols may be used between
the gateways).
 
The "End-to-End QOS for Multimedia Applications" of SG16 can also be termed
as "Application Layer QOS."
 
Q.F/16's end-to-end application layer QOS can also be implemented over the
network layer QOS like RSVP, DiffServe, and/or MPLS after proper mapping.
Similar is the case for the ATM network.
 
Please note that the network layer QOS (e.g., RSVP, DiffServe, and/or MPLS)
may or may not have the end-to-end significance. For example, an IP network
may implement different QOS schemes in different domains (e.g., RVSP in one
domain, DiffServ in another domain). 
 
However, the application layer QOS is end-to-end that remains the same. For
example, an H.323 or SIP call that can traverse several IP domains where
each domain may implement its own network layer QOS schemes while the
H.323/SIP call carry the signaling messages and QOS parameters end-to-end
independent of the underlying network layer QOS mechanisms.
 
Let us work together.
 
Best regards,
Radhika R. Roy
AT&T

END-TO-END QOS SERVICE CONTROL



This message was agreed to at ITU-T Study Group 11 meeting (Geneva, May
2001) and is being transmitted on behalf of Yukio Hiramatsu, Chairman of
ITU-T SG 11. For further technical clarification, contact the Rapporteur for
Q9/11 (Rolfe Buhrke, Tel: + 1 630 713 7022, { HYPERLINK

FULL TITLE: PROPOSED JOINT ACTIVITY ON A GENERIC PROTOCOL MECHANISM FOR
END-TO-END QOS SERVICE CONTROL AND SIGNALLING PROTOCOL DEVELOPMENT BASED ON
IP TRANSFER CAPABILITIES AND IP QOS CLASSES 




General



Within ITU-T SG11 work has started on requirements for a generic protocol
mechanism for end-to-end QoS service control. It was agreed within SG11 to
proceed with this work utilising deliverables of ETSI TIPHON on end- to-end
QoS service control as base material. It is the opinion of SG11 that this
generic protocol mechanism for BICC intends to apply also to other protocols
like SIP/SDP and H.323 next to generic extensions to the H.248/MEGACO
protocol.



It was noted that also QoS related work is in progress in IETF. Please find
attached an initial draft of the BICC CS3 signalling requirements for
end-to-end QoS service control. Please note the rationale for this activity
and the framework for end-to-end QoS service control and network QoS
control. The framework illustrates the field of application of the QoS
handling at different levels and the different protocols involved.




Proposals on end-to-end QoS service control



It is proposed to start a joint activity with IETF on a generic protocol
mechanism for end- to-end QoS service control. This refers to the potential
work in IETF on the following topics:



- Identification of the signalling requirements based on the ETSI TIPHON
defined speech QoS service classes for VoIP and the signalling and control
of end-to-end QoS for VoIP. The attachment provides the initial draft of the
BICC CS3 signalling requirements for end-to-end QoS service control.



- The definition of a generic call/bearer control mechanism in H.225/H.245,
SIP/SDP and BICC CS3 for end-to-end QoS service control in the application
plane.



- The definition of generic extensions to H.248/MEGACO for end-to-end QoS
service control between the application plane and the transport plane.



- The translation between the generic protocol QoS information elements in
H.248/MEGACO and the technology specific QoS parameters and QoS mechanisms
in IP, ATM, MPLS, etc.




Proposals on IP QoS classes and IP Transfer Capabilities



ITU-T SG11 would like to inform IETF that it is investigating signalling
requirements for protocol development based on the IP Transfer Capabilities
and IP QoS classes, as being defined by ITU-T SG13 in Y.1541 and Y.iptc. The
plan is to build upon signalling approaches developed by IETF. We would like
to stress that the work on IP QoS classes and IP Transfer Capabilities by
ITU-T SG13 is co- ordinated with IETF.

BICC CS3 signalling requirements for end-to- end QoS service control



EDITORS' NOTE:  This requirements text for end-to-end QoS service control is
a first draft text and requires extensive updating based on liaison
activities with other groups



1 Rationale



The rationale of the BICC CS3 requirements for end-to-end service control is
based on the analysis made by ETSI TIPHON (see the presentation available at
the URL: http://docbox.etsi.org/tech-
org/tiphon/Document/tiphon/ARCHIVES/2000/05- 200012-
Kyoto/WG5%20TIPHON21%20presentation%20Rev1.ppt ). It shows the
inter-relationship between the different QoS factors that finally determine 


the perceived speech quality by the end- users. This perceived speech
quality does not only depend on network quality of service (network packet
loss, network jitter and network delay) but on the terminal implementation
(jitter buffers and codec performance) as well. 





A second rationale is that end-to-end QoS requirements can be regarded as
end-to-end quality budgets related to the media flows. To achieve the
required end-to-end QoS these quality budgets must be allocated between the
domains, including the user equipment (see Figure 7 in ETSI TS 301 329 part
3). The Transport QoS Parameters specify the QoS budgets for each Transport
Domain. It is assumed that the performance of each domain is statistically
independent from any other.





Therefore end-to-end QoS service control at the call control level (i.e.
application plane) is required based on generic signalling procedures in
protocols like BICC, SIP/SDP, H.323 and H.248/MEGACO for end-to- end QoS
service control.




2 Framework for end-to-end QoS service control and network QoS control.



A framework for QoS control may be considered at different levels: call
control (BICC, SIP/SDP, H.323), vertical control (H.248/MEGACO, CBC), bearer
control (IP BCP) and bearer (DiffServ, IntServ/RSVP or MPLS/LDP).



1) Call-control 



a) End-to-end QoS service control is negotiated/communicated end-to-end at
the call control level. ETSI TIPHON has defined a set of speech QoS classes,
and signalling requirements and flows for this purpose. 



The idea is that call control protocols are enhanced with a generic
end-to-end QoS service control mechanism to negotiate these speech QoS
classes and associated parameters (Maximum delay, Maximum packet delay
variation, Maximum packet loss, Peak bit rate and Maximum packet size). 



Such a generic end-to-end QoS service control mechanism should be defined
independent of the underlying technology (ATM or IP) and operate across
network domains and including terminal characteristics to
negotiate/communicate the requested listener speech quality that will be
perceived by the end-users (i.e. "mouth-to-ear").



b) BICC (Q.190x) is one of the call control protocols that may be enhanced
this way. Similar enhancements may be applicable to other call-control
protocols like SIP/SDP and H.323.




2) Vertical control 



a) QoS service control is also negotiated/communicated at the vertical
control level. The ETSI TIPHON defined signalling requirements and flows
include the vertical interface. The idea is that vertical control protocols
are enhanced to negotiate/communicate the QoS settings (Maximum delay,
Maximum packet delay variation, Maximum packet loss, Peak bit rate and
Maximum packet size) in the bearer core network based on generic
H.248/MEGACO extensions.



These QoS settings should be defined independent of the underlying
technology (ATM or IP) of the bearer core network.



b) CBC (Q.1950) is one of the vertical control protocols that may be
enhanced this way.




3) Bearer control 



a) Network QoS is negotiated/communicated at the bearer control level. ATM
signalling does already intrinsically support network QoS. SG13 has recently
defined IP QoS classes and IP Transfer Capabilities. 



The idea is that bearer control protocols for IP are enhanced with a
mechanism to negotiate the network QoS by using IP QoS classes and IP
Transfer Capabilities. 



b) IP BCP (Q.1970) is an IP bearer control protocol that may be enhanced
this way.




4) Bearer 



a) Network QoS is negotiated/communicated at the bearer level, i.e. as part
of the protocols associated with the bearers in the core network. The idea
is that IP QoS classes and IP Transfer Capabilties, as defined by SG13, are
used to differentiate between different types of IP traffic.



b) IP QoS classes and IP Transfer Capabilities may be used to enhance
existing IP mechanisms like DiffServ, IntServ/RSVP and MPLS/LDP.






3 QoS information flows applicable to BICC



A general model is considered for QoS information flows with BICC when
making a translation of the relevant parts in Figure 8 in ETSI TS 301 329
part 3.





Section 4 details the Q.BICC related QoS primitives and parameters based on
the QoS primitives and parameters in the ETSI deliverable. Similarly,
section 5 provides the Q.CBC related QoS primitives and parameters.




4 Q.BICC related QoS primitives and parameters



The Q.BICC related QoS primitives and parameters are extracted from clause
8.1 and clause 8.2 of ETSI TS 101 329 part 3.



4.1 Q.BICC related QoS primitives



This information flow (QC2 in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3) communicates the QoS
related bearer information between the domains of different service
providers. 



Q.BICC QoS request (Qbicc.QoSreq) requests the establishment of a bearer
conforming to a particular ETSI TIPHON Class of Service or with defined QoS
characteristics.



NOTE    Identical to QoSM request (QC2.QoSMreq) in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3
clause 8.1.1.



Q.BICC QoS confirm (Qbicc.QoSconf) acknowledges the creation of a bearer
conforming to a requested ETSI TIPHON QoS Class or with specified QoS
characteristics.



NOTE    Identical to QoSM confirm (QC2.QoSMconf) in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3
clause 8.1.1.



Q.BICC QoS reject (Qbicc.QoSrej) rejects the creation of a bearer conforming
to a requested ETSI TIPHON QoS Class or with specified QoS characteristics.



NOTE    Identical to QoSM reject (QC2.QoSMrej) in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3
clause 8.1.1.



Q.BICC release request (Qbicc.QoSrelreq) requests the release of a bearer.



NOTE    Identical to QoSM release request (QC2.QoSMrelreq) in ETSI TS 101
329 part 3 clause 8.1.1 and the release of a transport flow is already
covered by existing Q.BICC procedures in Q.1902 series.



QoSM release confirm (Qbicc.QoSrelconf) confirms the release of a bearer.



NOTE    Identical to QoSM release confirm (QC2.QoSMrelconf) in ETSI TS 101
329 part 3 clause 8.1.1 and the release of a transport flow is already
covered by existing Q.BICC procedures in Q.1902 series.




4.2 Q.BICC related QoS parameters



Table 1 lists the parameters used in the Q.BICC related QoS primitives not
yet covered by the Q.BICC protocol. The deleted items refer to the
information elements already covered by the BICC CS2 protocol in the Q.1902
series.



NOTE    The contents of Table 1 is an interpretation of the table in ETSI TS
101 329 part 3 clause 8.2.3.

5 Q.CBC related QoS primitives and parameters



The Q.CBC related QoS primitives and parameters are extracted from clause
8.1 and clause 8.2 of ETSI TS 101 329 part 3.



5.1 Q.CBC related QoS primitives 



This information flow (QT2 in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3) communicates the QoS

flow and the properties of the media flow.



Q.CBC QoS request (Qcbc.QoSreq) requests the establishment of a transport
flow with defined QoS characteristics across a Transport Domain or the
reservation of Transport Domain resource.



NOTE    Identical to TRM QoS request (QT2.TRMQreq) in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3
clause 8.1.3.



Q.CBC QoS confirm (Qcbc.QoSconf) acknowledges the creation of a requested
transport flow or the reservation of Transport Domain resource.

transport flow.



NOTE    Identical to TRM QoS release request (QT2.TRM QoS relreq) in ETSI TS
101 329 part 3 clause 8.1.3. The release of a transport flow is already
covered by the existing Q.CBC procedures in Q.1950.



Q.CBC QoS release confirm (Qcbc.QoSrelconf) confirms the release of a
transport flow.



NOTE    Identical to TRM QoS release confirm (QT2.TRM QoS relconf) in ETSI
TS 101 329 part 3 clause 8.1.3. The release of a transport flow is already
covered by the existing Q.CBC procedures in Q.1950.



Q.CBC QoS performance notification (Qcbc.QoSperfnotif) notifies the Service
Domain of the performance of the Transport Domain in meeting the requested
QoS levels. This may be a periodic event or an urgent alarm. Note: this
primitive is a management primitive and its use is for further study.



NOTE    Identical to TRM QoS performance notification (QT2.TRM QoS
perfnotif) in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3 clause 8.1.3. For further study.

7 Information flows and signalling procedures for end-to-end QoS service
control



EDITORS' NOTE   The information flows and signalling procedures for
end-to-end QoS service control may be considered to follow the same
principles as the already existing procedures for end-to-end codec
negotiation in BICC CS1 and BICC CS2. Similarly mid-call procedures for
end-to-end QoS modification and mid-call QoS modification may be considered
because the perceived QoS is highly related to the codec type employed end-
to-end as part of the connection. The exact scope and properties of these
procedures and protocol message flows needs further discussion.

This is very confusing.   "End-to-End QOS for Multimedia Applications"
is an really important topic, but this topic must be a superset of
"End-to-End QOS signaling".  There are much harder problems than
signaling in providing E2E QoS.  Can you explain how signaling relates
to the title of this working party?

Thanks,

Bob Braden

Hi, Bob:

All applications (e.g., H.323, SIP) uses signaling messages among its
functional entities (e.g., terminal, agents, gatekeepers, proxies, gateways)
for communications.

The signaling messages that carry QOS parameters are treated as QOS
signaling messages. The applications like SIP and H.323 send signaling
messages end-to-end. H.323 uses H.225.0 RAS, Q.931, Annex G, and H.245
signaling protocols.  SIP also uses SDP as a part of the signaling messages.


The signaling messages that carry QOS related information can be treated as
"End-to-End QOS signaling" messages.

Kindly see the ongoing works of Q.F/16 of SG16. This will provide more
information related to your questions.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Radhika R. Roy

This is very confusing.   "End-to-End QOS for Multimedia Applications"
is an really important topic, but this topic must be a superset of
"End-to-End QOS signaling".  There are much harder problems than
signaling in providing E2E QoS.  Can you explain how signaling relates
to the title of this working party?

Thanks,

Bob Braden

Just put all the parts together, removing unencoded
spaces; the reason for the breaks after the hyphens seems
obvious enough, but I'm at a loss to explain others. Here we go:

http://docbox.etsi.org/tech-org/tiphon/Document/tiphon/07-drafts/wg5/_Published/DTS05009/V1.1.1/ts_101329-2v111p.doc

So http://docbox.etsi.org/ is passworded but docs can be retrieved by
advertised public direct url? Bizarre.

Folks,

This is *not* a discussion item for the diffserv WG mailing list. This WG is not 
chartered to discuss signalling issues. Whether the ITU should work on this
and if so how it should collaborate with the IETF should be discussed at liaison
level, not on a list with a few hundred people. So please everybody drop this
discussion on the diffserv list and continue elswhere.

It was agreed within SG11 to proceed with this work utilising deliverables of ETSI TIPHON on end- to-end QoS service control as base material. It is the opinion of SG11 that this generic protocol mechanism for BICC intends to apply also to other protocols like SIP/SDP and H.323 next to generic extensions to the H.248/MEGACO protocol.

> The rationale of the BICC CS3 requirements for end-to-end service control is based on the analysis made by ETSI TIPHON (see the presentation available at the URL: http://docbox.etsi.org/tech- org/tiphon/Document/tiphon/ARCHIVES/2000/05- 200012- Kyoto/WG5%20TIPHON21%20presentation%20Rev1.ppt ). It shows the inter-relationship between the different QoS factors that finally determine
> the perceived speech quality by the end- users. This perceived speech quality does not only depend on network quality of service (network packet loss, network jitter and network delay) but on the terminal implementation (jitter buffers and codec performance) as well.
> 
> A second rationale is that end-to-end QoS requirements can be regarded as end-to-end quality budgets related to the media flows. To achieve the required end-to-end QoS these quality budgets must be allocated between the domains, including the user equipment (see Figure 7 in ETSI TS 301 329 part 3). The Transport QoS Parameters specify the QoS budgets for each Transport Domain. It is assumed that the performance of each domain is statistically independent from any other.

so the talk seems to be dated dec 2001, and makes me wonder if the
tiphon folks have achieved a breakthru in QOS
with e2e delays better than 0ms.....

meanwhile, i stuck html versions of the files below at
ftp://cs.ucl.ac.uk/darpa/tiphon/
(prob. doesnt help non windoze users since the html is generated by
office 2000 apps so unless you have the unix internet explorer, too
bad)

I'm not sure we're on the same planet. Please help me out here.

I can think of a few applications that have agents, gatekeepers, proxies, 
and gateways, mostly resulting from the imposition of firewalls or 
authentication systems, or from legacy applications like imitating the 
telephone system in a data network. The only one that *requires* any kind 
of gateway, to my knowledge, is H.323 teleconferencing, which represents a 
paltry fraction of traffic according to most current measurements. Anything 
else (75% of Internet traffic is http or FTP, most of the rest is mail, on 
private LANs applications like NFS are pretty common, and even SIP can be 
done without a gateway between consenting systems) could be hooked up in 
separate systems on a LAN and made to work without any such signalling at all.

Could you be more specific on what QoS signalling is required by the world 
wide web, mail, FTP, common ERP applications like ERP and PeopleSoft, 
calendaring, and so on? If not, could you be more specific about what "all" 
applications you have in mind?

And could you be more specific about what issues this proposal is 
addressing that have not already been addressed in de facto standards and 
deployed in operational systems? It would be very nice to understand what 
you are preparing to ask vendors to do, and whether operators are 
interested in deploying them.

Folks, this thread may or may not be the start of something good or
evil, but it is going out to too many lists!

Please, as of now, let's move it to one, and only one list.
I nominate tsvwg.  If you are replying to any message on this
thread, PLEASE edit the to/cc to limit it to tsvwg@ietf.org

Brian

Hi, Baker:

It appears that a good amount discussion can be started to answer your
questions (what has being discussed for the last couple of years in the
ITU-T and TIPHON in particular). I am not trying to do so. Let me answer
your questions summarizing the key points as follows:

1. Broadly, all applications can be considered in two categories: a.
Real-time (e.g., audio, video [of H.323/SIP]) and b. Non-Real-time (e.g.,
data applications like file transfer, WWW, Mail, etc. - can a part of
H.323/SIP). 

The performance parameters of both real-time (audio, video) and
non-real-time (data) traffic can be abstracted in an universal way that can
be used by all applications (e.g., H.323, SIP, WWW, mail, etc). 

However, the signaling messages used by each application are
application-specific although the QOS parameters used by all of them still
remain same (e.g., H.323 might use RAS/Q.931/Annex-G/H.245 signaling
messages, SIP might use SDP). 

The QOS signaling messages that use QOS parameters can be termed as the
application layer QOS signaling messages and are sent on end-to-end basis
and the values of those QOS parameters do not change no matter what may be
the underlying transport networks (e.g., IP, ATM).

2. The network layer QOS signaling messages carried over the network may not
be end-to-end significance. For example, an end-to-end path of an IP network
may consist of RSVP, DiffServ, MPLS, and RSVP. So, the network layer QOS
parameters may get translated between the source-destination path and may
not remain the same what has been negotiated on end-to-end basis in the
application layer (item 1).

The problems that are being addressed are as follows:

A. How to develop the end-to-end QOS signaling mechanisms in the application
layer

B. How to relate the application layer QOS signaling to the network layer
QOS signaling (e.g., RSVP, DifServ, MPLS, etc.) so that one-to-one
consistency remain between the application and network layer QOS parameters.

Hope this may clarify some of your questions.

Best regards,
Radhika R. Roy

I'm not sure we're on the same planet. Please help me out here.

I can think of a few applications that have agents, gatekeepers, proxies, 
and gateways, mostly resulting from the imposition of firewalls or 
authentication systems, or from legacy applications like imitating the 
telephone system in a data network. The only one that *requires* any kind 
of gateway, to my knowledge, is H.323 teleconferencing, which represents a 
paltry fraction of traffic according to most current measurements. Anything 
else (75% of Internet traffic is http or FTP, most of the rest is mail, on 
private LANs applications like NFS are pretty common, and even SIP can be 
done without a gateway between consenting systems) could be hooked up in 
separate systems on a LAN and made to work without any such signalling at
all.

Could you be more specific on what QoS signalling is required by the world 
wide web, mail, FTP, common ERP applications like ERP and PeopleSoft, 
calendaring, and so on? If not, could you be more specific about what "all" 
applications you have in mind?

And could you be more specific about what issues this proposal is 
addressing that have not already been addressed in de facto standards and 
deployed in operational systems? It would be very nice to understand what 
you are preparing to ask vendors to do, and whether operators are 
interested in deploying them.
