The Challenge for IP Protocols

IP protocols are proposed as a pervasive solution to access management, traffic management,
mobility management, and network management. We can use IP protocols to
manage access rights to delivery and memory bandwidth, to determine priority access to
delivery and server bandwidth, to determine handover between IP nodes, and to commoditize
network management. IP SS7 would replicate the circuit switch capabilities
(call setup, call maintenance, call clear-down) and add session management capabilities
(session setup, session management, session clear-down)—the “IP over everything” to
“everything over IP” transition.
