| (Continuation of Question 9/11) Motivation
The NGN is making the transition from concept to practical implementation. Many operators have already implemented substantial NGN segments. In addition to NGN the emerging networks are machine-to-machine (M2M), machine-oriented communication (MOC), ubiquitous sensor networks (USN), Internet of things (IoT), smart ubiquitous network (SUN) and smart device communication (SDC).
As the experience of digital network operation showed, one of the most important system functions was the monitoring of SS7 parameters. Recommendation ITU‑T Q.752 is used by operators worldwide for monitoring the digital network.
The problem today is to monitor devices and network security. The NGN monitoring system would be based on the evolution of the principles behind the monitoring of SS7. The monitoring of signalling in mixed packet/digital public telecommunication networks and devices could be the main authentic information source for operations dealing with this network and devices as well as QoS.
Standardization of the NGN monitoring system parameters will give operators and administrations monitoring information that is compatible and comparable across network segments and devices. Moreover, it could be useful to help resolve points of disagreement.
In the 2013-2016 study period, concrete recommendations for monitoring parameters should be developed for:
- service level agreements performance monitoring subsystem;
- application server monitoring subsystem;
- hardware faults and reconfiguring procedures monitoring subsystem;
- emerging networks devices monitoring subsystem;
- emerging networks application and service monitoring subsystem
- security monitoring subsystem.
