本文件涉及IP联邦网络（IPFN），这是一个利用 IP技术，允许现有和未来网络互连。互联的网络可以是固定的，也可以是固定的 移动、2G或3G、IP或非IP、公共或私人。IPFN由一组功能子系统组成，使 这些网络的用户和应用程序可以在固定和移动环境中进行互操作，并允许提供 增值服务。从用户需求和场景出发，建立了功能模型，设计了体系结构 根据现有体系结构的协调和演变定义参考点，以便列出 现有协议，确定是否需要任何协议扩展和互通规范。根据提供的服务，如安全性、服务质量、， 补充服务和数据设施。数据可以在用户之间交换、收集或共享。全球寻址、互联网广播、多分支通信等新服务尚未提供 在用户所连接的实际网络上，可以提供。 安全性将是该体系结构的固有能力。附件B中提出了一系列建议，以帮助确定不同领域的工作。

The present document deals with the IP Federating Network (IPFN), an intelligent open interworking platform utilizing IP technology, allowing interconnection of existing and future networks. The networks interconnected may be fixed or mobile, 2G or 3G, IP or non-IP, public or private. The IPFN is composed of a set of functional subsystems, enabling users and applications of these networks to interoperate in fixed and mobile environments, and allowing for provision of value added services. From the users requirements and scenarios, a functional model is established, an architecture is defined based on the harmonization and evolution of existing architectures, reference points are identified, so as to list the existing protocols, identify the need for any protocol extensions and interworking specifications.Levels of internetworking are defined depending on the Services offered like Security, Quality of Service, Supplementary Services and Data facilities.Data may be exchanged, collected or shared between users.New Services like global addressing, internetwork broadcast, multileg communications, etc, which are not yet available on the actual network to which the user is connected, may be offered.Security will be an intrinsic capability of the architecture.From this a set of recommendations is made in annex B, in order to help identifying the work in the different areas.
