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)

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

This architecture splits the Control and
Bearer + Routing planes in separate devices.
This is a one-to-one model
Media and Signal do need to flow the
same network.
