Broadband intelligent network project
Olli Martikainen, Kim Molin · 1995
This paper presents a case study on a service architecture called Broadband Intelligent Network ( BIN ). BIN consists of Broadband Service Subscribers ( BSS ), Broadband Service Switching Point ( BSSP or ATM-switch), Broadband Service Control Point ( BSCP ), Broadband Service Management Point ( BSMP ) and Broadband Service Providers ( BSP ). Unlike in conventional IN, BIN service logic programs are distributed into each active component of BIN. BSS and BSCP contain the basic service logic programs with the basic functions such as controlling the icons, the hypermedia documents, QoS and charging. In the project a sophisticated application protocol was designed, called BINAP ( Broadband INAP ). BINAP is ends-oriented being used as an application protocol between the components of BIN. BINAP includes messages for security, performance, Quality of Service ( QoS ), managing customer service palettes and controlling the multimedia flow between the BSS, BSCP and BSP. Services provided in BIN are based on the transfer of multimedia data from BSP to BSS, known also as the fast multimedia data stream. The control of the services is provided by BSCP together with the distributed service logic.
