ONA: demands on provisioning and performance
S. Homayoon, G. Giridharagopal · 2003
The authors consider a few critical technical area where ONA (open network architecture) is expected to impact the public network. A methodology for provisioning the real-time capacity of a digital switch is described, and examples of its application to assess the real-time processing requirements of some future services are presented, including voice messaging and pay-per-view television. Performance aspects of the future intelligent networks and the increase in processing required in networks with distributed intelligence are addressed.>
