The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved work to begin on a standard that describes a framework for Internet Protocol (IP)-based service overlay networks.
IEEE P1903 - Standard for a Next Generation Service Overlay Network will specify a framework for context-aware, dynamically adaptive and self-organizing networking capabilities to enable more efficient composition and delivery of services and applications, according to the IEEE.
When finished, the standard will help network operators and service and content providers deliver collaborative services over both fixed networks and ones with varying access conditions as end-users change their locations and move from using one device to another, said the IEEE.
IEEE P1903 will be developed under the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Corporate Program.
The IEEE P1903 project is sponsored jointly by the IEEE Communications Society and the IEEE-SA Corporate Program. Companies involved include: China Mobile, France Telecom, Huawei, HP, IBM, Korea Telecom, Nortel (observer) and Oracle.
