WIN application in the global international network

Summary form only given. In a competitive multiple carrier global telecommunications environment, the efforts to develop advanced cooperative traffic routing and network control techniques and the formation of a coalition of carriers to realize these techniques are the major steps to cost effective provisioning of international telecommunications services. Without additional investment in network capacity, dynamic routing can exploit international carriers network idle circuits and consequently improve the completion rate of international calls. In the multiple carriers/vendors environment, a global network administration process may not be centralized because of both technical and business reasons. Control actions by individual carriers should be sufficient to maintain the stability of the high-quality cooperative international network. The Worldwide Intelligent Network (WIN) Study Group, consisting of international telecommunication administrations, was formed to examine the feasibility and economic benefits of advanced traffic routing and network control techniques. The WIN group aims to develop robust global network operation and traffic routing/control techniques. Based on the network-state-dependent concepts and the distributed network management principle, the data exchange systems based on Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) were developed and near real-time traffic network management data are exchanged for network control.
