The Japanese monkey, had been observed in the wild for
a period of over 30 years.
In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were
providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the
sand. The monkey liked the taste of the raw sweet
potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.
An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could
solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby

NGN based services and economic benefits
NGN technology is deployed by
network operators because it is
cheaper to buy and can be
cheaper to operate.
The development of NGN services
has wider impacts on the overall
national economy because
broadband Internet access is an
enabler for so many other
business.
Economic parties of NGN migration issues
Policy makers:
◦ Set framework for developing NGN in their National Broadband Plan.
◦ Must consider how NGNs are used and impact to other sector: education, e-government, environment, healthcare, etc.
Regulator authorities:
◦ Set the practical framework for developing NGNs to meet the policy agenda.
◦ Ensure positive outcomes to encourage efficient competition, ensure interworking of systems and prices are set fairly.
Investors:
◦ NGNs require investment.
◦ A government views for making a return on this investment is different with a private investor on the time required for re-payment and
the acceptable risks and rewards.
The operators and service providers:
◦ Implement and manage the networks and services
◦ Make a profit in order to pay the investors and to continue business and expand
Consumer:
◦ Want the best quality at the lowest possible price.
Economic aspects of NGN migration issues
Funding the investment
◦ Building fibre to the premises is expensive.
◦ Wireless requires for the cost rises with the speed of access service and the number of customers
◦ Core network and service platforms
Technical
◦ Change from legacy technology to NGN needs for skills and training
Cost performance factors
Competition and regulation
◦ Encourage investment, innovation and so provide the best outcomes for citizens through competitive supply.
Demographics
◦ Speed performance of fibre is far better than copper, but is this enough to overcome its high investment costs
or to counter the benefits of wireless mobility?

ITU-T D.271 - Charging and Accounting Principles for
NGN
The general principles and conditions applicable by
administrations for the capability to transport IP packets
over IP-based networks between standards-based
interfaces and the services that they support.
Concepts for Charging Network utilization
Charge elements:
Session set-up
Session set-up Reservation-based
attempt charge
charge element charge element
element
Usage-based charge SLA-based charge
element element
Charging periods
• An administration may choose to apply different charges to different periods
• The reservation-based charge element relates to the duration of a session. The value of the reservation
charge parameter CP_R(.) may differ between charging periods.
• The reservation-based charge element to differ for different charging periods, the duration of the session
within each charging period must be known.
• This information can be derived by comparing the start date and time and the end date and time of the session to the charging periods.
• The usage-based element relates to the packets admitted into the network and packets delivered by the
network. The value of the usage charge parameter(s) CP_U(.) may differ between charging periods.
• In order to allow the usage-based charge element to differ for different charging periods, ITU-T Rec.
D.271 (04/2008) 5 the number of packets within each charging period must be known.
Recording interval
CDRs shall be generated immediately on
the following occasions:
• at session establishment (indication 0);
• at session release (indication 6);
• during the session's active phase;
• when any of the traffic contract parameters are
modified (if relevant signalling is supported);
• at the end of each recording interval (see
indications 2, 3, 4, 5).
Charging end-customers
The charges for services delivered to end-customers normally consist of the following
components:
Network access Network utilization
component component charges cover
is intended to cover the cost the costs related to the
for providing the access to utilization of the network
the service for the customer. resources.
Accounting between administrations
Network access component
• In the case of interconnection, accounting charges are an
administration-specific matter.
• Factors that determine the interconnect access charges may be
similar to the factors in customer access charges.
• They are subject to agreement between the administrations involved.
Network utilization component
Assumptions: Two assumptions underlie the description of accounting in this clause.
Figures 2 and 3 are used in the description of the assumptions.
Aggregation within charge elements for accounting
• To reduce the number of parameters stored and used for accounting between
administrations, parameters of several sessions may be aggregated and summarized into a
smaller set of parameters to which a charge is applied.
• Aggregation takes place over an agreed aggregation period, for example, one month.
• The aggregation of session parameters is described in the following sub clauses for the three
charge elements that build the charging options for NGN services:
Aggregation for Aggregation for Aggregation for
session set-up charge reservation-based usage-based charging
element charging element element
Accounting parameters resulting from
aggregation for network utilization
The aggregated parameters collected for accounting at an interface pertain to:
For the session set-up
charging element, the
aggregated parameter is

What is CDN?
CDN is a system of computers (computing devices) networked together
(across the Internet) that cooperate to deliver content to end users.
Goals
◦ Load balancing
◦ Fast response
◦ High availability
◦ Handling flash crowd
Benefits to ISPs
◦ Efficient usage of internal network resources
◦ Traffic reduction
End-user
◦ Better enduser experience
◦ Content Provider
◦ Can serve the customer a high quality
Architecture of CDN

• Leading CDN Providers are as follows
• Akamai (US based)
• Limelight Networks (US based)
• Edgecast, Highwinds
• ChinaCache, CDNetworks in Asia
• The CDN market represented around
$2 billion worldwide in 2009
• It should reach $4 billion by 2012

Who use CDN solution?
CDN – Cost of saving
Multiple thousands of request can be served by
sending your content to the CDN platform ONLY ONCE
We can SAVE
◦ Cost of internet access
◦ Server capacity (hardware)
◦ Network resource
CDN Service Prices
• Classify in to
• Peak Traffic method
• Traffic Volume method
• Peak Traffic
• Based on average of the billing
• Traffic Volume
• Based on amount of usage traffic
• Traffic Volume based Pricing or Content Value based Pricing
•Differentiated Pricing or Single Pricing?
CDN Charging Parameters (1)
The difference price between 2 models
How many network equipment CONTENT must be through to reach client?
-> Pricing?
CDN Charging Parameters (2)
• Charging parameter based on network access and network utilization
• Charging based on 3 methods:
• Transit charge (based on packet’s size)
• Content charge (based on content type: news, video, music…)
• Combination of transit and content charges
• Adding CDN Charging Parameter paragraph to D.271
• Using CDN services, users get content from nearby cache CDN server, network
components is changed.
• Charging for end-customers will be changed.
• But content provider increase expense because of using CDN service.
• Consider and update CDN in the relevant NGN architecture for SG13.
