Recommendation E.700

FRAMEWORK OF THE E.700 SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS

1	Introduction

The E.700 Series of Recommendations are intended to provide guidance on traffic engineering for the ISDN. They are organized in sections to deal with various aspects of traffic engineering.

2	General: Recommendations E.700 to E.709

This section deals with general topics applicable throughout the E.700 Series.

3	Traffic modelling: Recommendations E.710 to E.719

This section provides guidance on how to characterize the traffic that will be offered in ISDNs.

4	Grade of Service: Recommendations E.720 to E.729

This section defines Grade of Service (GOS) concepts and parameters that will be significant in ISDNs and sets objectives for these parameters.

5	Dimensioning methods: Recommendations E.730 to E.739

This section provides methods to relate the offered traffic and Grade of Service objectives in order to allocate sufficient resources for planning and design purposes.

6	Traffic measurements: Recommendations E.740 to E.749

This section describes traffic measurement and performance monitoring requirements.
