Abstract

This document describes the Connectivity Provisioning Profile (CPP)and proposes a CPP template to capture IP/MPLS connectivityrequirements to be met within a service delivery context (e.g., Voiceover IP or IP TV). The CPP defines the set of IP transfer parametersto be supported by the underlying transport network together with areachability scope and bandwidth/capacity needs. Appropriateperformance metrics, such as one-way delay or one-way delayvariation, are used to characterize an IP transfer service. Bothglobal and restricted reachability scopes can be captured in the CPP.

Such a generic CPP template is meant to (1) facilitate the automationof the service negotiation and activation procedures, thusaccelerating service provisioning, (2) set (traffic) objectives ofTraffic Engineering functions and service management functions, and(3) improve service and network management systems with 'decision-making' capabilities based upon negotiated/offered CPPs.
