Abstract :
This paper discusses the evolution of signaling in modern telecommunications and data networks. It discusses the new capabilities introduced in both narrow-band and broad-band networks and their implications. This paper contrasts work being done in the telecommunications sector of the International Telecommunications Union, ATM Forum, and Internet Engineering Task Force and the motivations for different efforts in each group. The emerging network technologies and services pose a number of challenges in traffic characterization and analysis; these are also highlighted
