Comparing NGN session-oriented service delivery architectures

One of the most important decisions is where to locate session-oriented service delivery “smarts.” Should service delivery intelligence be distributed to the network border, or should it be centralized in the next-generation network (NGN) core?

Both models—smart border and smart core—comply with NGN standards. And both have their proponents. But as this whitepaper demonstrates, the smart border model offers a level of security, service reach, SLA assurance, manageability and economy that the smart core model cannot match.
