A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Performance Requirements for Signaling in Internet Telephony Author(s) : T. Seth, A. Broscius, C. Huitema, H. Lin Filename : draft-seth-sigtran-req-00.txt Pages : 22 Date : 19-Nov-98 To allow interoperability between the existing telephone network and Internet Telephony (IT) it is necessary for the signaling performance to be comparable to that of the current standards to avoid introducing degradation in the service. In this Internet Draft, we highlight the problem of providing high-quality signaling across an IP network that is built on a SONET infrastructure. We show that there are cases where the current PSTN standards are not satisfiable by a naive mapping of the IT signaling directly to the UDP or TCP transport protocols, even neglect- ing packet loss in router queues.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-seth-sigtran-req-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
