Summary

Recommendation ITU-T Q.3932.2 provides the second part of a multi-part deliverable covering the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)/next generation networks (NGN) performance benchmark, as identified below:

Part 1:   Core concepts;

Part 2:  Subsystem configurations and benchmarks;

Part 3:   Traffic sets and traffic profiles;

Part 4:   Reference load network quality parameters.

This Recommendation contains the specific benchmarking use cases and scenarios, along with scenario-specific metrics and design objectives (DOs). It also defines the system under test (SUT) configuration parameters. The present document also contains any required extensions to the overall descriptions present in the present document, if necessary for the specific scenario.

Part 3 defines an initial benchmark test through the specification of a traffic set, traffic-time profile and benchmark test procedure.

Part 4 defines reference load network quality parameters for the use cases defined in Recommendation ITU-T Q.3932.2.
