Sohel Khan, Sprint--TR&D. Copyright © Sprint The major Issue State and Cost –Where the state be deployed? –What kinds of state should the network have? –What are the impacts of state? –What is the cost of media forwarding circuitry? –What is the cost of signaling infrastructure? –Security features –SIP optimization –Transcoding –Regulatory implementation We believe that above depends on the way you deploy peering elements (PEs)

Sohel Khan, Sprint--TR&D. Copyright © Sprint Conceptual Deployment Scenarios We illustrate four scenarios –Composed –Semi-Composed –Centralized (Non-IMS, IMS NNI, IMS UNI) –Distributed Our objective is to generate discussion in IETF community draft-sohel-sipping-s-bc-concept-arch-00.txt PTSC-SAC , ATIS-PTSC, June, 2005
