Appendix C: The Broadband Call Control Demonstrator—a Demonstrator Platform for ITU‐T, DAVIC and TINA‐C Implementations
P W Reece, R. H. Macey, Peter Clarke · 2001
Appendix C provides an introduction to the broadband call control demonstrator platform developed at BT Laboratories. It describes the basic connection level functionality used to give point-to-point and point-to-multipoint call demonstrations. It then describes the introduction of a Digital Audio Visual Council (DAVIC) conformant session control capability, and how this is used as the basis of a more comprehensive demonstration. This appendix also examines how future networking concepts, such as object orientation and distributed processing environments, are being introduced, in particular the interworking between DAVIC and the Telecommunications Information Network Architecture Collaborative project (TINA-C) approaches. Finally, some of the evolutionary aspects of the broadband call control demonstrator platform are introduced.
