On the signaling system in the IPv6 QoS Parallel Internet

In this paper we provide an overview of the signaling system that we implemented in the IPv6 QoS Parallel Internet. This Parallel Internet has been proposed as one of Parallel Internets of the IIP System developed in scope of Future Internet Engineering project. The aim of the signaling system of the IPv6 QoS Parallel Internet is to perform call setup/release for assuring end-to-end QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees for selected data streams. For this purpose the proposed system follows current IETF and NGN (Next Generation Networks) recommendations. However, there are no detailed recommendations about the complete procedures in such signaling system of NGN architecture. Therefore, in this paper we propose the following procedures as exemplary scenarios: resource reservation call flow, resource termination call flow, notify/abort call flow. We also provide a sample usage of service stratum and transport stratum interface.
