1. Overall Description:
CT4 thanks ITU-T Q3/16 for their reply liaison regarding Explicit
Congestion Notification support in H.248 and is pleased to read that a
new WI has been initiated to develop a solution that can be used by
3GPP.
CT4 has agreed a stage 3 solution which aims to satisfy the
requirements in 3GPP Rel-10 but it is envisaged that some additional
work will be required to support interworking to non-3GPP ECN
networks.
The attached CR includes the stage 3 solution embodied in two packages
described in Annexes. CT4 is aware that the CR contains a number of
errors which will be corrected in a later revision. The CR was agreed
by majority in order to progress the work but it was not agreed by
consensus as it was questioned whether the solution should be a single
H.248 package or as proposed: a generic package and an additional 3GPP
specific package. What is agreed by consensus is that a single ECN
solution (whether it consists of multiple packages or not) is desired
by 3GPP. Hence despite proposing the second package as a 3GPP package
CT4 prefer this being part of a generic ITU-T solution.
CT4 asks ITU-T Q3/16 if the solution described in 3GPP Annexes can be
developed as a single generic solution, i.e. if the scenarios required
by 3GPP can be solved by the generic package(s) and still support all
other scenarios.
2. Actions:
To ITU-T Q3/16 group.
ACTION: CT4 kindly asks ITU-T Q3/16 to consider the CT4 agreed stage 3
solution as input to their generic work on H.248.ECN, consider the
above question and provide CT4 with any output drafts on this work from
Q3/16.
3. Date of Next CT4 Meetings:
CT4#53 9th – 13th May 2011 Tallinn, Estonia
CT4#54 22nd – 26th August 2011 Malta
