This Recommendation specifies smart traffic control and resource management functions to provide fair usage of network resources using context awareness capability in smart ubiquitous networks (SUN). This Recommendation covers the following:

• Motivation and objectives of smart traffic control and resource management;
• Requirements for smart traffic control and resource management for SUN;
• High-level architecture and functional architecture;
• Control and management mechanisms.

NOTE 1 – Usage of context information is optional and the mechanism details of context awareness capability are outside of scope in this Recommendation.

NOTE 2 – Regulatory aspects of monitoring (e.g., depth of IP packet allowed to be monitored) are outside of scope in this Recommendation.

NOTE 3 – Traffic, means user or service provider traffic and resource, means operational status of network elements (e.g., CPU usage, interface utilization, etc.) in this Recommendation.

NOTE 4 – Controlling traffic includes both application and network layer control. Some examples of application layer controls are video pacing, video transcoding and/or HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS).
