Main issues covered by ITU-T • IP-related issues, IMT-2000, accounting rates • ITU-T IP Project • IPCablecom Project • Multimedia, access network (e.g. xDSL), security, numbering and addressing, inter-operability, languages, TMN, IPR, etc. • Mediacom 2004 Project • ANT • ENUM • ASN.1 Project • OTN • NGN • Performance & QoS ITU-T and ITU-D Workshop - Bangalore (India), 30-31 August 2001
What are ITU-T Projects? • Standardization domain identified as of importance • May be shared within several SGs • May correspond to (very) urgent market needs • Needs for coordination • May be used to clarify areas for study ITU-T and ITU-D Workshop - Bangalore (India), 30-31 August 2001
ITU-T IP Project ITU-T and IETF Collaboration must be strengthened considering interest in ITU-T on IP-based networks IETF and ITU-T are not able to adequately address this area independently IETF strength: protocol and application areas ITU-T: great experience in the areas of architecture, network interworking and network evolution • Explosive growth of the Internet/IP-based networks • Ever increasing demand for higher bandwidth/capacity • Network operators, service providers and manufacturers reconsider services, network structures, products etc • IT and use of IP-based networks and applications (e.g. e-commerce) become critical factors in development of telecom networks ITU-T and ITU-D Workshop - Bangalore (India), 30-31 August 2001
ITU-T IP Project • Since 1998, the IP project is updated by the SG 13 Project Leader taking into consideration major deliverables from the variousStudy Groups, i.e Recommendations approved or planned (before 1998, IP was a sub-project of the ITU-T GII project) • Y.1000to Y.9999 reserved for IP-related Recommendations. • For each area, the IP Project identifies: • scope and focus of the work area • issues for consideration • status of current work within ITU-T • related work within IETF • Edition 5: SG 13 meeting, 14-25May 2001 (ITU-T Website) ITU-T and ITU-D Workshop - Bangalore (India), 30-31 August 2001
