ITU-T/ ATIS Workshop “Next Generation Technology and Standardization” ABSTRACT Las Vegas, 19-20 March 2006 Speaker Takumi Ohba (NTT) Session: 5. Interconnection, Interworking and Evolution Title of Presentation: NGN NNI signalling profile In order to spread the Next Generation Networks smoothly while retaining a high possibility of interoperability among different carriers, it is very important to study a signalling profile at the Network-to-Network Interface (NNI). This presentation examines the service-level signalling (i.e., SIP and SDP description) profile for the NNI, as well as the related standardization activities.
