Telecommunications and Internet converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking (TISPAN) - Resource and Admission Control Sub-System (RACS) - Functional Architecture

Describe the functional architecture of the Resource and Admission Control Subsystem (RACS) for NGN R2. The goal is to deal with: �Completion of RACS R1 open issues. �      Enhancements of RACS capabilities for R2.The present document describes the functional architecture for the Resource and Admission Control Sub-System (RACS), in TISPAN NGN Release 2, in line with the service requirements described in TS 181 005 [1] and with the QoS Requirements described in TS 181 018 [13]. Moreover, it further indicates high level stage 2 requirements in order to allow the description of its functional operation.
The functional architecture and system description developed in the present document is based on the Release 2 requirements for RACS developed in ES 282 001 [2].
RACS is the TISPAN NGN Sub-System responsible for the implementation of policy-based transport control features, by using procedures and mechanisms that handle resource reservation and admission control for both unicast and multicast traffic in access and core networks.
Besides acting as a Resource Control Framework, RACS also includes support for controlling Network Address Translation (NAT) at the edge of networks and for assisting in remote NAT traversal.
Furthermore, RACS also covers aspects related to the derivation, modification, and installation of traffic policies, end to end quality of service, transport-level charging and overload control.
Hereinafter, the restrictions applicable to some RACS NGN topics for the present document are listed:
• the CPN requirements impact will not be handled;
• only single access and single core domains will be handled;
• the interconnection between domains through the Ri' interdomain reference point is limited to scenarios involving only wholesale and roaming between two domains;
• the e2e QoS handling is limited to scenarios involving only wholesale and roaming between two domains;
• other QoS handling aspects, e.g. QoS monitoring and QoS reporting, are covered only in an informative annex;
• the Metro topic aspects are covered in informative annex D; and
• the multicast topic is limited to scenarios involving only a single domain.
