Abstract
To meet the rigorous demands of today’s fast-moving telecommunication environment, every carriers want to deploy new services smoothly with minimal impact on the underlying infrastructure. Also it is necessary to create an open environment that enables the deployment of multivendor switching systems with optimum functionality and performance. The MSF(Multiservice Switching Forum) is an industrial forum to develop the network infrastructure that meets the above requirements. The MSF has been focusing on reaching and promoting consensus on the implementation of MSS(Multiservice Switching System) that realizes the vision of multiservice switching and defines a set of open intra-switching system interfaces. In this paper, we review the system architecture and characteristics of the MSS based on MSF architecture. We propose the open software architecture for the implementation of the MSS, the control scenarios for ATM SVC(Switched virtual Connection) service and management functions in the software architecture. The environment for software development is also considered.
