Technical report TR/96 Next generation corporate networks (NGCN) – identification and routing

Summary

This Ecma Technical Report is one of a series of Ecma publications that explore IP-based enterprise communication involving Corporate telecommunication Networks (CNs) (also known as enterprise networks) and in particular Next Generation Corporate Networks (NGCN). The series particularly focuses on inter-domain communication, including communication between parts of the same enterprise, between enterprises and between enterprises and carriers. This particular Ecma Technical Report discusses issues related to user identities and routing and builds upon concepts introduced in ECMA TR/95. This Technical Report is based upon the practical experience of Ecma member companies and the results of their active and continuous participation in the work of ISO/IEC JTC1, ITU-T, ETSI, IETF and other international and national standardization bodies. It represents a pragmatic and widely based consensus. In particular, Ecma acknowledges valuable input from experts in ETSI TISPAN.
