ITU-TRecommendations Abstract
Identifies a framework to position the telecommunications aspects with respect to IP networks. This framework serves to identify and assist understanding the IP network issues, from the telecommunications point of view, with respect to the provision of seamless services to the user between IP networks and telecommunications networks in a convergence context.
