Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR)
• Objective: a non-real-time service that provides
some QoS commitment while placing minimal
constraints on the user
• Major Application: Carry aggregate TCP/IP traffic
between two routers
• User is free to send any rate up to a PCR all the
time, but network commitment is only to an MCR
• GFR service is “frame-based.”

requested (QoS value different from 0)

NOTE 1 - Maximum end-to-end transit delay objectives may only be specified for the forward
direction.
NOTE 2 - The CLR parameter is shown as two entries to indicate explicitly whether the
CLR commitment is for the CLP=0 or for the CLP=0+1 cells.

What is BICC?
• BICC provides a means of supporting narrowband ISDN
services across a broadband backbone network without
impacting the interfaces to the existing N-ISDN network and
end-to-end services.
• The BICC call control signaling protocol is based on N-ISUP
signaling
• The bearer control signaling protocols are based on different
bearer technology control signaling protocols (e.g., DSS2 for
AAL type 1 and AAL type 2)
• The BICC call control signaling protocol should not be aware
of the actual bearer transport being employed. The binding
information is used to reference the bearer.

QoS Signalling in BICC CS 3
 Based on the TIPHON specifications for end-to-end QoS
control
– 4 TIPHON QoS service classes (Best, High, Medium and Best
Effort) in ETSI TS 101 329 part 2
– the signalling and control of end-to-end QoS in TIPHON systems
in ETSI TS 101 329 part 3.
 Initiated joint activity with ITU-T SG 16 for:
– Translation of the TIPHON defined QoS requirements and
signalling flows in protocol requirements.
– Definition of generic procedures in call/bearer control protocols
(BICC, H.225/H.245, SIP/SDP) for end-to-end QoS service
control.
– The specification of a generic H.248 (Megaco) package for end-toend QoS service control.
GR001017-12
Summary
• All new services in ITU-T SG 11 to be
specified for BICC before being added to
ISUP or BISUP
• QoS signalling available for ATM-based
infrastructure
• Capability for call level QoS signalling
under study
