Title
A study on a public multimedia service provisioning architecture for enterprise networks
Abstract
The new trends in the service area cause a change on the service provisioning architecture and scheme. The most obvious differences are multimedia services and multiparty communications, The existing service providing schemes can hardly catch up with these new trends. A few years ago, multimedia service was not applicable to the public networks, because of the shortage of transmission bandwidth. Nowadays, situations in the transmission capabilities of the public networks have been continuously changed. Moreover. developing ATM technology is the most powerful driving force towards a B-ISDN era. The essential components that constitute the traditional schemes have been defined in the characteristic categories of transmission, terminal and switching. In this paper, we define an additional component fur the new B-ISDN services on public networks. We proposed a service provisioning architecture to be implemented on an ATM-based switching system as a uniform service management function called Service Node System (SNS) fur enterprise networks. The SNS will provide a high degree of efficiency for providing a variety of new services on ATM-based telecommunication networks. We define various functions of the architecture and describe interaction schemes among its function modules. The defined functions are as follows: 1) Plug-in service styles access method for various types of user terminals. 2) Multimedia welcome home page service like dial-tone service in POTS. 3) Configuration control of user terminal. 4) User defined service profile. 5) 2(nd) Stage connection with service guidance and open network service provision. 6) Service creation tools and real time advertisement. 7) Multicast route intelligence for groupware services. 8) Distributed network computing and storage service pool. 9) Service billing information certification with strong security protocol. Also, some performance issues, such as network grade of service, signalling transfer delay are considered in an attempt to verify the usefulness and the adequacy of the proposed architecture. We also proposed service protocols that can provide the basic call and the connection capabilities of B-ISDN signaling system, and configured a prototype of the SNS using ATM switch and service management function. We verified the capability of the prototype of the SNS as data transmission speed between the Ethernet and the ATM.
