Agenda
• What are Standards?
• Why standards?
• SDOs
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara

What are standards?
 Inch is a standard of measurement
 Money is a standard of exchange
 Words are standards of communication
 Traffic lights are safety standards
 Octane numbers of gasoline are quality standards
 "No more than 1% shrinkage" is a performance
standard
3

What are standards?, Cont.,
 Published documents that establish specifications and procedures designed to maximize
the reliability of the materials, products, methods, and/or services people use every day
 Address a range of issues, including but not limited to various protocols to help maximize
product functionality and compatibility, facilitate interoperability and support consumer
safety and public health
 Form the fundamental building blocks for product development by establishing consistent
protocols that can be universally understood and adopted. This helps fuel compatibility
and interoperability and simplifies product development, and speeds time-to-market
 Make it easier to understand and compare competing products. As standards are
globally adopted and applied in many markets, they also fuel international trade
 It is only through the use of standards that the requirements of interconnectivity and
interoperability can be assured
 Summary: standards fuel the development and implementation of technologies that
influence and transform the way we live, work and communicate. They make our lives
safer, easier, and better
4

History of standards
 Standards are known to have existed as early as 7000 B.C. when cylindrical stones were used
as units of weight in Egypt
 One of the first known attempts at standardization in the Western world occurred in
1120. King Henry I of England ordered that the ell, the ancient yard, should be the exact
length of his forearm, and that it should be used as the standard unit of length in his kingdom
 History also notes that, in 1689, the Boston city fathers recognized the need for
standardization when they passed a law making it a civic crime to manufacture bricks in any
size other than 9x4x4. The city had just been destroyed by fire, and the city fathers decided
that standards would assure rebuilding in the most economic and fastest way possible
 Probably the most significant standard ever developed in the United States, however, was the
railroads' standard track gage. This standard, now used in Great Britain, the U.S., Canada and
much of continental Europe, enables railroad rolling stock to cross the country.
5

Why do we need standards?
 World without standards?
 Products might not work as expected
 They may be of inferior quality
 incompatible with other equipment, in fact they may not
even connect with them, and in extreme cases; non-
standardized products may even be dangerous
 Knowledge of standards help facilitate the transition from
classroom to professional practice by aligning educational
concepts with real-world applications
6

How is a Standard Created?
 Most standards are developed by committees of volunteers, which
can include members of industry, government, and the public
 These originations are known as Standards Development
Organization (SDO), which adheres to fair and equitable processes
that ensure the highest quality outputs and reinforce the market
relevance of standards
 Goals of each SDO are essentially the same, each SDO applies its
own rules, processes, terminology to the standards development
process
7

Benefits of standards
• encourage economies of scale
• enable manufacturers to comply with legislation
• promote the interoperability of products and services
• facilitate the uptake of innovation in the marketplace
• encourage greater competition
• facilitate trade by diminishing trade barriers
• support environmental sustainability
• reflect the outcome of research and development
• promote common understanding
• enhance the safety of products
• quality
8

CSP related standards
 Critical to the global interoperability of ICTs and whether we exchange
voice, video or data messages, standards enable global communications by
ensuring that countries‟ ICT networks and devices are speaking the same
language
 International ICT standards avoid costly market battles over preferred
technologies, and for companies from emerging markets, they create a
level playing field which provides access to new markets
 An essential aid to developing countries in building their infrastructure and
encouraging economic development, and through economies of scale, they
can reduce costs for all: manufacturers, operators and consumers
9

Standardization
 process of developing and implementing
technical standards
 Major objectives of ICT standardization;
interconnection
interoperability

knowledge and information possible among technology
professionals
 With collaborative thought leaders in more than 160
countries, IEEE-SA (IEEE Standards Association) is a

Formerly ADSL forum (formerly DSL Forum)

Broadband Forum
 Central body for end-to-end broadband access and core network
architecture, testing and management specifications
 Global consortium of approximately 200 leading industry players
including network service providers, network and customer premises
equipment, chipset companies, test equipment and laboratories,
regulatory bodies, educational institutions and consultants
 Established in 1994, originally as the ADSL Forum and later the DSL
Forum, the Broadband Forum united with the IP/MPLS Forum to
broaden its focus over the entire networking infrastructure
16

IP/MPLS Forum
 Started initially as three distinct forums: the ATM Forum, the Frame Relay Forum and the MPLS Forum,
and grew out of the evolution of IP transport technology
 Key development from this organization was the development of global standard implementation
agreements, industry-wide educational programs, and multi-vendor interoperability testing
 In 2008, the IP/MPLS Forum was determined to follow technology convergence and looked to unite
with another organization that had a similar vision of the future and the activities required to continue
to drive the global success of MPLS. In that search, various organizations shared similar goals, scope
or membership but there was one that stood out as the strongest candidate - the Broadband Forum
 In May 2009, the two Forums united, and are focused on driving the evolution to next generation IP
networks and empowering fixed mobile convergence evolution
 With the Broadband Forum's focus spanning from broadband network to digital home management,
their work complements the work of the IP/MPLS Forum, which primarily addresses the core and
access aggregation
 Expanding the Broadband Forum's objectives to encompass the next phase of IP/MPLS Forum work
will ensure seamless broadband network optimization and convergence for the industry

 Actual technical work of the IETF is done in its working groups (WG),
which are organized by topic into several areas (e.g., routing,
transport, security, etc.). Much of the work is handled via mailing lists
 Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator
for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols.
The IANA is chartered by the Internet Society (ISOC) to act as the
clearinghouse to assign and coordinate the use of numerous Internet
protocol parameters
