7 Architectural view of the Service Provider Access
Annex A (informative): Bibliography
History

Describes generic functional requirements regarding the service provider access (SPA). The priority of each requirement is based on the need perceived from the service provider's viewpoint. To fulfil these requirements, appropriate protocols may have to be enhanced or developed based on information flows and taking into account network integrity considerations expressed in the present document.
