Abstract
The addition of broadband technology to telecommunications networks will greatly enhance their capability to support multimedia, multipoint services, such as will be supported in the Release 2 3 timeframe for Broadband ISDN. In order to support these services, new features will need to be developed in network control signalling. This paper discusses the design of network resource control protocols in order to support multimedia and multipoint services. Some key design issues are discussed, such as call topology, distributed vs. centralized control, and handling of multiple call components. The paper describes the results of simulations comparing three protocol designs incorporating different design choices.
