2. Challenges of Change: NGN, Internet Interconnections and IXPs
2.1 Definition of Next Generation Network
A Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet-based network able to provide services including Telecommunication Services and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies and in which service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies. It offers unrestricted access by users to different service providers. It supports generalized mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.
The NGN is characterized by the following fundamental aspects:
•Packet-based transfer •Separation of control functions among bearer capabilities, call/session, and application/ service •Decoupling of service provision from network, and provision of open interfaces
6
International Telecommunication Union
•Support for a wide range of services, applications and mechanisms based on service building blocks (including real time/ streaming/ non-real time services and multi-media)
•Broadband capabilities with end-to-end QoS and transparency
•Interworking with legacy networks via open interfaces
•Generalized mobility
•Unrestricted access by users to different service providers
•A variety of identification schemes which can be resolved to IP addresses for the purposes of routing in IP networks
•Unified service characteristics for the same service as perceived by the user
•Converged services between Fixed/Mobile
•Independence of service-related functions from underlying transport technologies
•Compliant with all Regulatory requirements, for example concerning emergency communications and security/privacy, etc

2.2 Interconnections are the Key issues on Internet
Cloud CloudISP 1 ISP 2
IX
Direct connection
Interconnecting via third party operated Internet Exchange PointISP 4 ISP 3
Economy of scale advantages through interconnection over an IX:
- cost for maintenance and administration
- cost for equipment
9
International Telecommunication Union
Two different types of interconnections; peering and transit.
Peering:
is an interconnection business relationship whereby ISPs provide
connectivity to each others´customers
Transit:
From an ASP (Access Service Provider) to ISPs. The Internet business in most Developing Countries is mainly based on transit bandwidth...
It is the business relationship whereby one ISP provides (usually sells)
access to all destinations in its routing table.
10
International Telecommunication Union
Transit Provider / Access Service Provider
ISP 1 ISP 2
Transit = $$$, ~3 s Transit = $$$, ~3 s
Peering = $, ~3 ms
ISPs : From Transit to Peering in order to improve and optimize the network efficiency
11
International Telecommunication Union
Peering has emerged as one of the important and effective waysfor ISPs to improve and optimise the network efficiency
.
ISP seek peering relationships with their competitors primarily for two reasons:
1) to minimize transit costs. Peering decreases the cost and reliance on purchased Internet transit.
2) to avoid a transit provider hop in between.
This will lead to:
Access Customers will recognize a better quality of their Internet connection.
Opportunity to develop national Internet content and services that are dependant on low latency:
Sell access to Content Providers
E-commerce, E-banking, M-Commerce etc
Develop own services to strengthen the value of the network

2.3 Topology: solutions when designing an IXP
There are some different solutions when designing an IXP
Layer 2 solutions:
Switch as central traffic relaying device
Layer 3 solutions: Router as central traffic relaying device

Business agreement between two ISPs and has actually nothing to do with the IX.
Transit is a non-core business for an IXP. The objective is to keep the local traffic local.

2.4 Policy and Administration of IXP
The decision to be made is on having Bi-lateral or
Multi-lateral peering agreements to rule over the traffic
exchange over the IX:
1. Multi-lateral peering agreement implies that all connected ISPs must peer with all other ISPs connected to the IX, on the same conditions.
2. Bi-lateral leaves it to the ISP to decide with whom to peer and on what conditions, but they must have peering agreements with at least two if they want to use the IX.

3. Wireless Access Systems (WAS) ITU Standards, Wi-Fi and WiMax
18
International Telecommunication Union
Advances in technology and competitive access are driving the revolution towards wireless access infrastructure for the provision of basic telephone service and IP-based applications. ITU-BDT (Telecommunication Development Bureau) is advising and promoting Wireless Access Systems in developing countries where there is a a lack of infrastructure for data/telecom but still in the same time have a great demand for broadband connections.(Convergence issue).

3.1 ITU Studies can be categorised as follows:
1. Preferred frequency bands, spectrum requirements and frequency channelling plan.
2. Suitable technology for WAS.
3. System characteristics and operational requirements including interface to switched networks.
4. Performance and availability objectives.
5. Frequency sharing criteria, interference effects and service area boundary.
6. Radio local area networks (RLANs).

3.4 WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access )
The Interoperability Challenge
• IEEE 802.16 Air Interface Specification is a very large specification. It was designed to cover the fixed broadband wireless access needs of a variety of different situations.
•In order to ensure interoperability between vendors competing in the same market, the WiMAX technical working groups were created by the leaders in IEEE 802.16 technology
•Began in 2001 in Antibes-France
•Founding Companies:- Ensemble- Nokia- Harris- CrossSpan
31
International Telecommunication Union
•The initial version of IEEE 802.16 was developed with the goal of meeting the requirements of a vast array of deployment scenarios for BWA systems operating between 10 and 66 GHz.
•An amendment is almost finished to do the same for systems operating between 2 and 11 GHz.
•Abstract Test Suite specifications according to the ISO/IEC 9464 series are equivalent to ITU-T x.290 series of conformance testing standards.
•ITU guidelines (See ITU-T X.29x series)

4. Conclusion
Data traffic is growing more (10 times) compared to the voice traffic and as a consequence, the past concept of telephone networks, which also carry data might be replaced by the concept of data networks that also carry voice.
In this regard, seam-less interworking between IP-based networks and PSTN and the interoperability of their respective applications or services is essential in meeting the business requirements placed on modern communication networks.
