RE-ENGINEERING THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM

The evolution of the Internet offers the opportunity to redesign how basic communication services are provided. All services, including (multimedia) telephony, radio and television, can be based on a common, packet-switched, connectionless infrastructure of the Internet. Intelligence is placed into end systems for scalability and controllability. This paper discusses the protocols and technologies that might be used for such a full-service Internet, in particular the role of the access network, resource reservation, and signaling.
