ITU Works Toward International Telecommunications Standardization
By Grant Paul
The International Telecommunications Union—Telecommunications Standardization
Sector
(ITU-T) studies technical, operating and tariff questions and adopts recommendations
on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide
basis. One of the 14 Study Groups (SG) that make up the ITU-T is responsible
for generating the recommendations for data collaboration and videoconferencing.
T.120 is a family of recommendations that define the protocols for data
collaboration, and H.3xx are "umbrella" recommendations for videoconferencing.
It should be noted that T.120 is "network independent," while the videoconferencing
recommendations are keyed to a particular network transport (e.g., N-ISDN,
ATM, IP, etc.).
