Outline
What do we mean by convergence? Adjusting the PSTN to the Internet
– Access to the Internet over the PSTN lines
– Internet off-load Adjusting the Internet to the PSTN
– IP telephony
– PINT
– SPIRITS
– Unified Messaging
– Voice Access to the Web
– Porting of PSTN intelligence into the IP telephony world (SIN)
– VPN Conclusion
Slide 3, Faynberg & Lu SG 13 Workshop
Three Aspects of Convergence
1) Interworking of “traditional” PSTN with the IP infrastructure to support voice over IP
2) Interworking of PSTN with the IP infrastructure to deliver IP-based service control for “traditional” PSTN calls (i.e., IP Telephony without voice over IP)
3) Interworking of PSTN with the IP infrastructure to provide remote access to IP networks via PSTN lines
Slide 4, Faynberg & Lu SG 13 Workshop
Adjusting the PSTN to the Internet
(PSTN access to IP networks)
Exploiting the bandwidth that can be supported by two-wire telephone access lines
+ Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) modem
+ Digital Subscriber’s Line (DSL) Offloading Internet traffic from the PSTN

Adjusting the Internet to the PSTN (two aspects)
1) Support of the IP telephony requirements:1) Support of the IP telephony requirements: A new IP endpoint--IP telephony gateway--is required to
interconnect the Internet and the PSTN QoS must be enforced The IP and PSTN naming and addressing schemes must
interwork
2) The Internet-based support of the PSTN services requirement:2) The Internet-based support of the PSTN services requirement: Keep the intelligence at the edges! (Or, at least, share it with the
edges)

Why IP telephony?
Toll bypass avoids long-distance call charges. One type of networks for both voice and data simplifies network
operation, administration, and management. Easy integration with other IP applications promises richer than
ever telephony services.

Conclusion
Regardless of the economical success of the IP telephony, there is room for integration of the traditional telephony and Internet
We consider convergence to be co-existence and symbiosis of the evolving PSTN and Internet (not the consumption of one by another); this symbiosis is manifested in integration
Integration of pure IP telephony with the PSTN has been worked in the IETF enum and megaco WGs together with ITU-T SG 2 and SG 16, respectively.
Intelligent Network is a natural PSTN platform to support such integration; ITU-T SG 11 and IETF (pint, spirits) have had a productive cooperative effort to this end.
The emphasis of the industry now is on enhanced services rather than “pipes”; services are key differentiators
RECOMMENDATION: the standards organizations should concentrate on providing building blocks for developing services in converged networks
