WORKSHOP ON IP/OPTICAL
(CHITOSE, JAPAN, 9-11 JULY 2002)
Presented by
Fabio Bigi
Workshop Coordinator
1
The Workshop on IP/Optical
organized within the framework of
ITU-T’s new initiatives, will profit
from the participation of experts
from the standardization sector and
other SDOs, as well as eminent local
experts.
2
The Workshops/Seminars organized by ITU-T
aim to:



increase the awareness of ITU-T studies,
projects, products and services,
coordinate the activities of ITU-T study
groups in a particular field,
benefit from progress achieved in other
SDOs, and considering the results of
ITU-D and ITU-R study groups where
appropriate, in order to coordinate studies
3
and to avoid duplication of effort,


identify new areas for standardization
by relevant study groups in order to
enhance existing and related projects,
and in response to new market
needs,
stimulate opinions, priorities and
contributions from different regions
in order to focus corresponding ITU
studies, to respond to concerns of the
existing membership and attract new
members to contribute to the work of
ITU.

This Workshop is aimed at enhancing
the following special projects:

IP (led by Study Group 13) - This project
studies the interaction of IP-based networks
and telecommunications networks for
multimedia and other IP applications, and
considers the interoperability of IP-based
services and telecommunication services to
ensure the continued speed, capacity, ease of
use, reliability and integrity of the public
telephone networks in use around the world.
5
 OTN (led by Study Group 15) - An
Optical Transport Network is
composed of a set of Optical Network
Elements connected by optical fibre
links, able to provide functionality of
transport, multiplexing, routing,
management, supervision and
survivability of optical channels
carrying client signals. A set of
Recommendations (ITU-T G-series)
has already paved the way for future
all-optical networks.
6
 Access (led by Study Group 15) - New
technologies, optimised for transport
of packet data including packetised
voice, will require the capability to
support different QoS services from
end to end through the network,
including the access networks.
Different scenarios are examined with
the aim to give to the end user the
seamless global multimedia
services of their choice.
7
 NGN (led by Study Group 13) – The term
Next Generation Network represents key
technologies, realizing the concepts of the
global information infrastructure. The general
principles for NGN can be found in various Yseries Recommendations. NGNs are considered
to be part of the “federation of networks” of
the global information infrastructure. This
concept enables people to securely use a set of
communication services supporting an open
multitude of applications and embracing all
modes of information, any time, anywhere and
at an acceptable cost and quality.
8
 During the official opening there will be
key-note addresses given by the Director
of TSB, by representatives of IETF,
ISO/IEC, local universities and by the
chairmen of Study Groups 13 and 15.
The workshop will be organized in the
following session themes:
9
1. IP over optical, business and
market aspects;
2. Switched optical networks;
3. Optics in access and
metropolitan networks;
4. Optical interfaces;
5. Optical/IP network OAM and
protection and restoration;
10
6. WDM and DWDM;
7. Signalling and routing;
8. Optical fibres, cables and
components;
9. Optical network management;
11
10.
11.

I take this opportunity to thank all
contributors, the organizers and the
participants for their commitment to make
this a successful event.
