  1. TIPIA Overview Ayse Dilber, Michael Blaschitz TIPIA Vice-Chair, TIPIA Chair adilber@att.com, michael.blaschitz@infonova.at

  2. TIPIA Goals Mission: • To provide harmonized framework to deploy global, seamless and interoperable IP Telephony and Multimedia Services based upon ETSI TIPHON Technical Specifications. Goals: • To promote, encourage and facilitate interconnection of interoperable IP telephony and multimedia services among members, worldwide • To initiate and support global interoperability trials among TIPIA members • To define and publish technical requirements and common service definitions for global network service interoperability • To develop Interoperability Implementation Agreements • To provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas among members to achieve the purposes of TIPIA

  3. TIPIA Organisation / Membership Classes Organisation: • Not for profit organization registered in Delaware, US Membership Classes: • AFull Member is a member who is a IP Telephony and Multimedia Service Provider and who either: will interconnect and interoperate at least one Designated Service with at least one other IP Telephony and Multimedia Service Provider in compliance with applicable Association Specifications, or has entered into a written agreement with another IP Telephony and Multimedia Service Provider to do so,

  4. TIPIA Membership Classes • An Associate Member is a Member who publicly announces (or allows the Association to publicly announce) the Member's commitment to the Association, and who is an IP Telephony and Multimedia equipment vendor provides a substantial portion of the functionality of an interoperable IP Telephony and Multimedia Services or that is integral to the operation of interoperable service by providing the Association compliant equipment. • AnObserver Member is any Member who publicly announces (allows the Association to publicly announce) the Member’s commitment to the Association, and who does not qualify as either a Full Member or an Associate Member, or who has elected not to be a Full Member or an Associate Member despite qualifying as such. This includes Standards Bodies, Research Organizations and other related organizations

  6. TIPIA Working Structure Six Focus Teams: • FT 1: IP Telephony and Real Time Multimedia Services • FT 2: System Integration and Deployment • FT 3: Billing, Accounting, and Settlement and Fraud • FT 4: QoS Implementation • FT 5: Security • FT 6: Operation, Administration, Maintenance & Provisioning

  7. FT 1: IP Telephony and Real Time Multimedia Services • The scope of FT1 is to define interoperable IP Telephony and Real Time Multimedia Services. This group will liaise with ETSI -TIPHON, ITU-T and IETF to drive the rapid, harmonized development of technical specifications and standards. Furthermore, this group will develop service implementation phases. The initial focus will be on IP Telephony. • For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT1 will: • Define the global TIPIA inter-domain architecture and solution • Identify and select of relevant networking standards, recommendations, and protocols required to implement the TIPIA architecture for the service layer • Define the required services; • Develop detailed technical service descriptions i.e. define the general technical requirements for the different principles for billing, accounting principles and security, etc. • Work with TIPIA FTs to align Implementation Phases and priorities in the roll-out

  8. FT 2: System Integration and Deployment • The scope of FT2 is to provide harmonised framework for the deployment of IP Telephony and Multimedia Services. This group also defines system integration and testing procedures for TIPIA networks, systems and applications including verification/certification/conformance and compatibility tests. It is also responsible for defining the requirements for interoperability testing . Furthermore, this group initiates and conducts Multimedia and IP Telephony Services interoperability trials. It also develops a Project Management Plan with specific milestones • For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT2 will: • Work with FT 1 to define Implementation Phases and priorities in the roll-out • Select of relevant networking standards, recommendation and protocols required to implement the TIPIA architecture for the transport layer • Initiate and conduct interoperability trials • Develop the Project Management plan including Milestones • Define and co-ordinate the relevant test and trials to be carried out • Address access issues (e.g., wireless, cable, etc.)

  9. FT3: Billing, Accounting, and Settlement and Fraud • The scope of FT3 is to define different business models of billing and accounting and settlement for IP Telephony Services and analyze different types of IP Telephony fraud risks and recommend cost effective fraud solutions. It develops the administrative, operational, and performance specifications to support billing, accounting, and settlement for inter-domain calls, including billing and accounting and exchange of call-related data. • For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT3 will: • Develop inter domain billing/ accounting models • Develop settlement models for IP Telephony Services • Investigate fraud issues

  10. FT4: QoS Implementation • The scope of FT4 includes all aspect of QoS implementation for the IP Telephony Services. It develops requirements to support deployment of inter-domain services with defined QoS levels. • For all phases of TIPIA service deployment WG4 will: • provide an inter-domain QoS implementation framework • choose QoS relevant options within the TIPHON specifications for TIPIA deployment and may contribute on such topics within TIPHON

  11. FT5: Security • The scope of FT5 includes all aspects of inter domain and intra domain security such as intercept and data privacy, authentication, access control, non-repudiation, confidentiality and integrity. • For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT5 will: • develop the different Security Policies and specify a minimum level of security; • choose security relevant options within the TIPHON specifications for TIPIA deployment and may contribute on such topics within TIPHON; • be responsible for lawful interception issues within TIPIA in cooperation with EP TIPHON; • select solutions and standards (where necessary) to keep the whole IP-Telephony system deployed by TIPIA secure

  12. FT6: Operation, Administration, Maintenance & Provisioning • The scope of FT6 is to provide OAM&P functions for service providers to manage IP network elements, services and networks. • For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT6 will: • Define network management model • Define operation methods and procedures • Define service and network provisioning • Define service and network maintenance requirements (alarms, ticketing, etc.) • Define OSs interfaces (Qx, Q3, etc.)

  13. Membership Application • Membership Application Package and the Bylaws can be downloaded from: • www.tipia.org/membership TIPIA will be operational from the next meeting (June 16-18 in Heildelberg, Germany)

  14. TIPIA Contact Details • Next Meetings: • June 16-18 in Heidelberg, Germany • July 14-16 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands • September 29 - October 1 TBD • December TBD • In addition, there will be an overview session at every TIPHON meeting. • Contacts: • Michael Blaschitz • michael.blaschitz@infonova.at • TIPIA Chair, Infonova • Ayse Dilber • adilber@att.com • TIPIA Vice Chair - Liaisons - AT&T • TIPIA URL Address: • http://www.tipia.org
