Mr. Ganesh R.M

2. Introduction
Intelligent Network (IN) is an architectural
concept for the operation and provision of new
services which is characterized by
Extensive use of information processing techniques
Efficient use of network resources
Modularization and reusability of network functions

3. Introduction
Integrated service creations and implementation by
means of the modularized reusable network functions
Flexible allocation of network functions to physical entities
Portability of network functions among physical entities

4. Concerns in the Network
Reliability
Interoperability
Security
Speed/Bandwidth
Quality of Service
Device Management
Scalability

7. Basic service is enhanced through added network
intelligence
Provides for very rapid service turnover
Intelligent network concept

8. Intelligent network benefits
 Rapid service introduction
• Reduces latency of introducing new services throughout
a network
 Robust service customization
• Services are adaptable and depend on the customer
needs
 Established vendor independence
• Same equipment, different services, OR different
equipment, same services
 Portable open interfaces
• Market is not dominated by one or two vendors, since
service providers can run their products using open
interfaces

9. IP Routing

10. What is IP Routing?
Intelligent Decision and Action That
Enables Information To Be Efficiently
Directed From Intelligent Decision and
Action That Enables Information To Be
Efficiently Directed From One Network To
Another.

11. Why IP Routing?
Failures In The Network Result In Decreased
Productivity
Increased Broadcast Traffic As Network Grows
Increased Availability Through
Redundancy And Faster Failover
Increased Scalability Through
Better Traffic Management

13.  The key question is: How Intelligence is
provided and distributed in the network
 IN Conceptual Model (INCM) gives a
framework which will be presented here
 Other models may emerge, most probably
from voice, multimedia and mobile value
added services in Intranet and Extranet
IN Architecture

14. Principles of the IN Architecture
Services and a service creation
environment have become centralized in
what are known as remote Service Control
Points (SCPs).
This basic conceptual model is defined as
the Intelligent Network or IN.
operation of the system is the Service
Switching Point

16. The IN conceptual model is a four-layer abstract
model, where each layer (or plane) represents the
capabilities of an IN network. The four planes of
the model are:
The service plane offers a users perspective
to a service’s functionality and capability.
Global Functional Plane incorporates
service independent building blocks (SIBs)

17. The Distributed Functional Plane contains
functional entities, which are a specific group
of functions required to implement the IN
concept
Finally the Physical plane is the entity
where the functional entities are implemented.

18. ASSOCIATED TECHNOLOGIES
Intelligent Network (IN) is adopted in the mobile
network to provide the users with diversified
supplementary services, enhance the mobility
management (MM) and shorten the time-to-market
of new services Mobile networks have adopted IN
technology
To provide the users with new services that can
only be obtained in the fixed network before and
enhance the mobility management.

19. Convergence of technology
IONs: Merging Intelligent and Optical Networks
Ring architectures being applied to the optical network
domain
Built-in network intelligence has two aspects: node-based
and network-based

20. Node-based
Used to refer to the network elements’ intelligent software capable
of sensing a module failure or a break in a fibre connection and
automatically routing traffic in the opposite direction of the ring
Networks are currently capable of routing 40 optical signals in less
than 50 milliseconds
Network-based
Used to refer to the network’s capability of deploying new services
without physical intervention
Main driver is Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10GE
“Point and configure” capabilities brought all the way to the end
user increase value added, as customer is directly involved in the
service definition

21. Application areas
Advanced Least Cost Routing
Managed Roaming
Access Screening
Missed Call Alert
Number translation
Real-Time Charging Gateway

22. Future of Intelligent network
Service providers are faced with the
challenge of managing fast growing networks
while keeping operating costs and
provisioning times
The old SONET/SDH network architectures
and management solutions are inappropriate
for the aforementioned trend
ION provides optical cross-connects (OXCs),
enabling the market demand for scalable and
adaptable services

23. IONs will provide for ubiquitous computing
architectures, as subscribers are getting used to their
services
IONs also will provide for on-demand service
deployment, allowing for a great reach for the Internet
Telecommunications Information Networking
Architecture (TINA) is a consortium of the top
telecommunications players focused on delivering
services using next-generation software. Other
consortiums will aid in the transition to IONs
