Abstract

This paper is about the implementation of performance monitoring and resource availability solution in transport stratum of Next Generation Network (NGN) over Enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM) framework. Continuous monitoring of performance is done to ensure consistent Quality of Service (QoS) to the users. Monitoring of network parameters such as delay, delay variation, path unavailability, packet loss ratio is done in the transport stratum of next generation network architecture. Resource and Admission Control Functions (RACF) will interact with Management functions for performance measurement of NGN transport control traffic and transport services and allocate resources to the customers whose QoS requirements are satisfied. The above functionalities are mapped into NGN business elements, defined by eTOM framework.
