•The fundamental building blocks of next-generation networks, applications,
and services start with IP. At Layer 3, IP is the networking messenger between data computing applications, IP telephony conversations, and IP video sessions. The success of IP has been beneficial to another ancillary building block: the rise of Ethernet technology at Layer 2. Layer 2 challengers with the pull of Ethernet's simplicity, adaptability, and interoperability with all Layer 1 mediums. Where IP is the Layer 3 packaging , Ethernet is the Layer 2 conveyor belt that leads to the digital versions of mail bags (wireline), photonic locomotives (optical), and stealth jet planes (wireless), all at Layer I. IP, Ethernet, optical, and wireless are the must-have networking layers, in essence, the new-era building blocks with which to construct and enhance networks that are flexible, fast, and service rich. Figure : Building blocks of Next Generation Networks VARIOUS BLOCKS IN NGN
• Media Gateway (MG)
• Signalling Gateway • Media Gatewat Contorller • Application Server • Parley MEDIA GATEWAY
• Protocol converter between different types of networks
(Example— MG between circuit-switched voice network - TDM flows, and the IP network - RTP packet flows). MG processes incoming calls via requests to the Application Server using HTTP. The media gateway (MG) terminates IP and circuit-switched traffic. MGS relay voice, fax, modem and ISDN data traffic over the IP network using Quality of Service enabled IP technology. SIGNALLING GATEWAY
• Signaling Gateway (SG) offers a consolidated
signaling interface - SS7 signaling point for the NGN platform. Also, SG supports a SIGTRAN interface (IETF SS7 telephony signaling over IP) as well as IP Proxy functions (SIP). MEDIA GATEWAY CONTROLLER
• MGC acts as the master controller of a media
gateway • Supervises terminals attached to a network • Provides a registration of new terminals • Manages E. 164 addresses among terminals APPLICATION SERVER
•Application Server (AS) consists a number of modular application
building blocks; server generates VoiceXML pages. ( VoiceXML is a standards-based scripting language for developing voice-enabled software applications). The modular design of the next generation communications platform makes it easy to deploy enhanced services such as unified communications solutions, multimedia messaging services, and presence & availability management applications. PARLEY
• Parlay is an evolving set of specifications for industry-standard
application programming interfaces (APIs) for managing network "edge" services:
