Credit Transfer Within Market-Based Resource Allocation Infrastructure | 2006-05-02 06:07:14 | Hewlett-Packard |
| Credit transfer protocols are being designed and implemented in market-based resource allocation infrastructures. The design details of these protocols determine the access-control policies that can be expressed and the trading patterns that can be supported. A protocol that enables fine grained manipulation of ownership authorities can support a wider range of access policies and trading patterns than proposed designs, while reducing implementation complexity. Meeting the challenges of a market-based resource allocation infrastructure may yield a credit transfer protocol that is applicable in other domains. | |||

Real Benefits for New Business: Managed Communications Services | 2006-04-19 10:03:05 | Alcatel |
| Global broadband development has provided access for all sizes of enterprise with simple access to the global market. While large organizations have the technology, expertise and resources for doing business effectively on a global scale, smaller enterprises do not, yet they account for over 90% of the enterprise market by number, and around 50% by revenue.
This has created new managed service market opportunities for service providers that can provide real business value by enabling small organizations to act like large ones. The contributions of Internet players and communications services providers are convergent, yet complementary. |

Enterprises and Service Providers: Wining with Managed Customer Interaction Services | 2006-04-19 09:38:23 | |
| Enterprises that do a good job of keeping their customers happy demonstrably add shareholder value. The evolution toward IP and open standards results in the separation of applications from the infrastructure that delivers them, and opens up attractive, new customer interaction markets to Service Providers (SPs). SPs can now offer high-value, managed customer interaction services that elevate them beyond providing increasingly commoditized connectivity services. Enterprises that subscribe to these managed services derive many benefits, including cost savings, increased flexibility, and enhanced customer satisfaction. The managed customer interactions market is rapidly growing, as SPs and enterprises realize how they can mutually benefit. |

Delivering 21st century education at Gordon College | 2006-04-19 09:35:15 | Alcatel |
| How would you design a college's network infrastructure to deliver world-class education
Five years ago, Gordon College of Wenham, MA USA was faced with this very issue. They took an innovative approach: Faculty, students, alumni and IT were engaged in a process to develop a shared vision of the communications services required to enhance the education experience for 21st century students. This included partnering with a telecommunications company that has demonstrated leadership in IP (Internet Protocol) communications - to deliver the integrated voice, data, wireless data, security, video and video-on-demand solutions needed to create this world-class environment. |

Competitive and Considerate Congestion Control for Bulk-Data Transfers | 2006-05-02 05:45:50 | |
| The current Internet features traffic from diverse applications; ranging from delay-sensitive web browsing to delay-insensitive data file transfers. This motivates service differentiation, yet router-centric solutions. The current practice relies on a limited service differentiation at network edges. End-hosts often implement such emulators of low priority service to differentiate low and normal priority traffic. A low priority service may fit well for some applications, e.g., software updates, but may not be adequate for bulk file transfers that aim at large throughputs. A scenario motivating home users is that of many simultaneous bulk transfers. This is a common feature of peer-to-peer file sharing applications. This paper develops a novel end-to-end congestion control that emulates a different service differentiation than the common low-normal priority. | |||

The Business Case for Enterprise VoIP | 2006-06-02 01:00:29 | Intel |
| Intel recently conducted a pilot program that integrated voice over internet protocol (VoIP) into the production enterprise environment, giving a group of employees the opportunity to experience the benefit that VoIP and unified messaging bring to the workplace. Intel IT collaborated with one of the company's business units to conduct a pilot deployment of an open standards, session initiation protocol (SIP)-based voice over internet protocol (VoIP) solution at one of its medium-size corporate sites in Parsippany. | |||

NGN Control Plane Overload and Its Management | 2006-07-27 09:37:32 | MultiService Forum |
| This white paper examines the types of overload scenarios encountered within traditional networks and concludes that similar traffic behaviour, requiring overload management, will be required within Next Generation Networks (NGNs). It looks at the principals of overload protection within real-time communications servers and the types of overload management methods that are available to optimise server performance. The paper notes that the distributed computing nature of NGN architectures such as the 3GPP IMS, has an increased detrimental impact on overload behaviour and looks at the overload management capability of the main protocols that are commonly used. It finally comments on the work in progress within ETSI TISPAN to address the issues discussed. | |||

Session Initiation Protocol Support in Cisco Unified Communications Products | 2006-10-06 01:00:14 | Cisco Systems |
| Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) provides a standards-based approach to enabling IP communications for numerous devices and applications. This paper describes current and planned SIP support in the Cisco Unified Communications system. Encompassing IP voice, data, and video communications products and applications, the Cisco Unified Communications system helps organizations communicate more effectively, streamline business processes, and positively affect financial results. | |||

IPv6 Forum Roadmap & Vision | 2006-06-29 05:16:34 | IPv6 Forum |
| Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next generation protocol for the Internet, designed to support continued Internet growth in number of users and functionality. The current Internet protocol version, IPv4, was developed in the 1970's and provides the basis for today's Internet interoperability. IPv4 suffers some limitations that inhibit the growth of the Internet and its use as a ubiquitous global communication medium. The IPv6 Forum is a world-wide consortium of leading Internet vendors, Industry, and Research & Education Networks, with a clear mission to promote IPv6 by dramatically improving market and user awareness of IPv6, creating a quality and secure new Generation Internet, and allowing world-wide equitable access to knowledge and technology, embracing a moral responsibility to the world. |
