GSC-9, Seoul310/09/ Definition and Objective of NGN 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.

GSC-9, Seoul The separation facilitates the unbundling of services and facilities (in both access and core). Each vertical stratum of NGN has its own horizontal architecture. The location of service platforms is not restricted. Telecom industry will bifurcate to reflect the new NGN architecture. NGN architecture will facilitate competition and innovation among service providers. Service intelligence will migrate to the edges. Telephone service will not follow the traditional centrex, local or long distance approaches. Policy frameworks designed for vertically-integrated networks are not transferable to a horizontally-integrated NGN. In an NGN, two separate policy frameworks are required: - one applicable to transport networks, and - another applicable to content-based services The separation facilitates the unbundling of services and facilities (in both access and core).

GSC-9, Seoul IP Applications Application Helpers (UDP, TCP, RTP, etc) Non-IP Services MPLS or shimEthernet Optical Bit Transport (Optional) LAN or MAN Simplified Protocol Model of NGN Current protocol standards activity mainly focus on two aspects - one is how to use IP layer economically - the other is how to support IP layer efficiently Current protocol standards activity mainly focus on two aspects - one is how to use IP layer economically - the other is how to support IP layer efficiently

Discussion Key Mission of NGN Provide QoS aware services to End-End (any-where, any-time, any-device) Provide Convergence : Fixed-Mobile, Telecom-Broadcasting etc. Happy Business Model for Everyone : Balance btw. Growth and Share Provide QoS aware services to End-End (any-where, any-time, any-device) Provide Convergence : Fixed-Mobile, Telecom-Broadcasting etc. Happy Business Model for Everyone : Balance btw. Growth and Share Questions after NGN Still Free charge / Fixed Rate / Free Riding…? Still everybody use same quality services ? Still I am only belong to public or I get my own private ? Still separated subscription for Fixed and Mobile services ? Still use separated Terminals for Fixed and Mobile ? Still access separated contents for Fixed and Mobile ? Still dominant operator control most of ? Still Free charge / Fixed Rate / Free Riding…? Still everybody use same quality services ? Still I am only belong to public or I get my own private ? Still separated subscription for Fixed and Mobile services ? Still use separated Terminals for Fixed and Mobile ? Still access separated contents for Fixed and Mobile ?

GSC-9, Seoul Principles for further development of Architecture and Protocols Principle 1 The variation between protocol stacks should be reduced to a minimum. Principle 2 The commonality between protocol stacks should be maximized. Principle 3 Tunneling should be used “interwork” non-compatible network segments. Principle 4 The protocol stack should be consistent with independent provision of any of peering points at any layer in the protocol stack. Principle 5 The protocol stack should facilitate the provision of value-added services. Principle 6 The protocol stack should facilitate access security. Principle 7 The protocol stack should facilitate QoS provision (involving quantifiable and measurable levels of service). Principle 8 The protocol stack should provide flexibility for mixing and matching different underlying physical media.
