Performance evaluation of intelligent signaling servers for broadband multimedia networks

Advanced architectures integrating intelligent network (IN) signaling are proposed for the support of multimedia services. We present the main elements of an IN-based signaling configuration and introduce a set of models for representing their protocols and internal processes. An IN-based methodology is established to derive the workload for each network element, protocol and functional entity. We study the performance of an IN-based signaling network by applying this methodology to a typical broadband video on demand (B-VoD) service. The results of our study give useful guidelines for the design and implementation of IN signaling architectures.
