Recommendation E.700
                              FRAMEWORK OF THE E.700 SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS
         1      Introduction
               The E.700 Series of Recommendations are intended  to  provide  guidance  on
         traffic engineering for the ISDN. They are organized in  sections  to  deal  with
         various aspects of traffic engineering.
         2      General: Recommendations E.700 to E.709
               This section deals with general  topics  applicable  throughout  the  E.700
         Series.
         3      Traffic modelling: Recommendations E.710 to E.719
               This section provides guidance on how  to  characterize  the  traffic  that
         will be offered in ISDNs.
         4      Grade of Service: Recommendations E.720 to E.729
               This section defines Grade of Service (GOS) concepts  and  parameters  that
         will be significant in ISDNs and sets objectives for these parameters.
         5      Dimensioning methods: Recommendations E.730 to E.739
               This section provides methods to relate the offered traffic  and  Grade  of
         Service objectives in order to allocate sufficient  resources  for  planning  and
         design purposes.
         6      Traffic measurements: Recommendations E.740 to E.749
               This section  describes  traffic  measurement  and  performance  monitoring
         requirements.
