TELETRAFFIC IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL SWITCHING AND

OPERATIONAL | PROCEDURES RESULTING FROM A FAILURE OF A

TRANSMISSION FACILITY

1 Very considerable changes have occurred in the international network over the past decade. These changes have arisen mainly from:

--

--

--

--

the growth in the number of long-distance routes;

the growth in the number of circuits forming individual long-distance routes;

the world-wide introduction of international automatic operation;

technological developments associated with all aspects of the international network: switching unit

design, transmission facility design, and routing and operational strategies;

-- the integration into the international automatic service of the more isolated geographical areas and of centres having low-capacity international switching units.

2 The resultant multiplicity of circumstances and situations arising within the international network is now such that it is no longer possible to specify one single criterion for initiating corrective action to counter the loss of a transmission facility. Indeed, the failure of the whole, or part, of a transmission facility may manifest itself in a different manner to each of several Administrations affected by the failure.

3 Among the many aspects of international switching and operational procedures which can influence the degree of curtailment of service arising from a transmission-facility failure, i.e. which can reduce the ability of part of the international network to carry its designed traffic load successfully, the following are specifically stressed (their order has no particular significance):

-- the introduction of fully automatic international operation, which means that the control of the network, formerly completely operator -controlled, now depends directly on subscribers' habits;

-- the number of routes that could be affected by failure and their proportion of the total routes on the switching unit to which they are directly connected: the range can be from one whole route to a few circuits in each of many routes, depending on the method of allocating circuits to transmission facilities;

-- the influence of any route, for which no alternative transmission facility exists, on the performance of the international switching unit to which it is connected;

6 Fascicle II.3 -- Suppl. No. 5

-- the effect on the grade of service of the switching unit itself due to the loss of a complete route or routes, or parts of several routes, directly connected to it;

-- the methods of limiting the effect of failure on service by action within the switching unit or at preceding international or national switching unit, e.g. by code blocking or recorded announcements;

Fascicle II.3 -- Suppl. No. 5 7

--

--

--

--

the cause of the failure, and thus the possible restoration time, relative to the 24-hour traffic profile;

the effect of a failure on overflow and automatic alternative routing strategies ;

the use of diversity of international switching units;

the use of diversity of international transmission facilities.


4 Attention is also drawn to four major factors of maintaining continuity of service:

--

--

--

--

reliability ,

diversity,

network management , and

any redundancy specifically provided to allow restoration of service.


5 Clearly, no practical transmission facility provided will give 100 per cent reliability, so it is inevitable that the other three factors will be involved to varying degrees in maintaining service. The interaction of these four factors will depend largely on the emphasis placed upon each of them by each Administration, thus reinforcing the view that the degree of corrective action that can be taken will depend considerably upon the investment policy (in materials and equipment) and forward-planning objectives of individual Administrations.

6 With respect to diversity, it is recommended that Administrations give consideration to the provision of an adequate number of paths for a particular route, with an adequate level of independence between the paths. Such independence could reduce the effect of a breakdown or other adverse event by confining it, as far as possible, to only one of the paths used by that route.

7 For the further assistance of Administrations in their study of those teletraffic aspects of international switching and operational procedure which influence the degree of curtailment of service and which arise from a transmission facility failure, these factors are included in Question 23/II related to continuity of service, accepted for study during the 1985-1988 Study Period.

PART I
Dependability Vocabulary

1 Introduction

A consistent set of terms and definitions is required for the development and use of the various Recommendations addressing aspects relating the specifications, planning, data collection, analysis and evaluation of the dependability, including availability performance, reliability performance, maintainability performance and maintenance support performance. These needs address the whole range of operational and maintenance aspects as applicable to telecommunication networks, exchanges, transmission routes and channels, etc., independent of the types of services 10 Fascicle II.3 -- Suppl. No. 6

supported, including aspects of providing the necessary maintenance.

The vocabulary provided by this Supplement is also of importance in the handling of concepts related to quality of service and network performance. The conceptual relationships between quality of service and network performance to dependability and other item-related performances is shown in Figure 1. Further information on these performances is found in Recommendation E.800.

The vocabulary also provides the necessary linking to the performances of components and building blocks (hardware and software) of networks at any level of indenture (ref. definition 6019).

Fascicle II.3 -- Suppl. No. 6 11

For the quantitative application and determination of measures, the terms and definitions of Part II also need to be consulted.

GUIDE FOR EVALUATING AND IMPLEMENTING | fR ALTERNATE ROUTING

NETWORKS

A systematic procedure consisting of a number of distinct steps is used for the evaluation of alternate routing networks.

These steps are given in the flowchart of Annex A and are provided as guidance. Administrations may wish to expand, delete or change the order of these steps to meet circumstances.

The steps may be grouped into the following six processes:

-- Identification of alternate route.

-- Preliminary screening.

-- Data gathering.

-- Evaluation.

-- Implementation.

-- Monitoring.

1 Identification of alternate route

A terminal Administration selects an alternate route.

A tentative agreement is reached with the opposite terminal Administration to use the selected alternate route, and both terminal Administrations reach tentative agreement with the transit Administration to explore the use of its network as an alternate route.

If no tentative agreements are reached, another alternate route is selected or if none is available, the procedure is abandoned.

2 Preliminary screening

Using available data, the organizational elements of the terminal Administrations responsible for transmission, routing and call completion, analyse the feasibility of utilizing the alternate route.

If an objection is raised, another alternate route is selected or, if none is available, the procedure is abandoned.

3 Data gathering

A questionnaire is issued to all Administrations involved to obtain additional information before an evaluation is made of the proposed alternate route.

The questionnaire can include requests for transmission, routing, call completion rates, traffic profiles, circuit costs, and transit charges.

If there is no response to the questionnaire or if the information provided indicates that the alternate route is unsuitable, another alternate route is selected or, if none is available, the procedure is abandoned.

4 Evaluation

112 Fascicle II.3 -- Suppl. No. 7

The alternate routing network is dimensioned according to Recommendation E.522.

If additional circuits are required on the alternate route, and the required increment exceeds the available capacity, another alternate route is selected. If no other alternate route is available Administrations may choose to retain the selected alternate route and accept a cost disadvantage.

Fascicle II.3 -- Suppl. No. 7 113

5 Implementation

Final negotiations are carried out and approval of all Administrations involved in the alternate route network is sought.

The negotiations would include the reporting procedure and responsibility for recording traffic overflowing to the alternate route.

If final agreement cannot be reached, another alternate route is selected or, if none is available, the procedure is abandoned.

6 Monitoring

Traffic volumes

Traffic volumes and performance data for the alternate route are recorded and exchanged at regular intervals.
