Telecom service delivery design patterns
Atul Jain · 2007
The term service delivery platform refers to an architectural style applied to telecommunication infrastructure problems, intended to enable rapid development and deployment of new converged multimedia services such as video conferencing, multi-party gaming, and triple play services requiring combination of voice, data and video. This paper takes a top-down approach in terms of identifying the key challenges for service delivery at network level and then moves onto the challenges at service node level. In this approach, the paper contributes by identifying a few patterns that address these challenges in a given context. The paper is intended for designers involved in designing telecom service networks as well as telecom applications.
