Overview
SIST EN 301 060-6 V1.1.4:2005 defines a test specification for network-side verification of the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol, emphasizing enhancements at the "b" service entry point for Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications. This part focuses on the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and the partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for testing network implementations, helping to ensure interoperability and conformance with the EN 301 060-1 standard.
Developed within the European standardization framework, this document provides practical mechanisms and formal templates to support comprehensive protocol testing in telecommunications networks, with guidelines conforming to ISO/IEC 9646 for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) conformance testing methodology.
Key Topics
Abstract Test Suite (ATS):
The ATS defines procedures, message types, and test behaviour for verifying that network-side DSS1 protocol implementations meet the required specifications for VPN enhancements, particularly at the "b" service entry point. The ATS outlines how multiple test components interact with the Implementation Under Test (IUT), focusing on test structuring, parameterization, and detailed test execution logic.PIXIT Proforma:
The partial PIXIT proforma collects implementation-specific information required to execute the test suite effectively. This includes network configuration, accessible protocol features, and operational parameters, crucial for preparing the Means of Testing (MOT).Test Methods:
The document describes both single-party (remote) and multi-party test methods, with a preference for multi-party arrangements to mirror real-world network dynamics. The Main Test Component (MTC) coordinates test execution, while Parallel Test Components (PTCs) simulate various network interfaces.Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR):
A standard proforma for documenting test results is provided, ensuring consistent reporting of protocol conformance assessed by accredited test laboratories.
Applications
SIST EN 301 060-6 V1.1.4:2005 provides a reference for:
Network Equipment Manufacturers:
Ensuring ISDN DSS1 protocol implementations at the network "b" service entry point are tested for interoperability and conformance in VPN deployments.Testing Laboratories:
Offering structured templates for executing and reporting standardized protocol conformance tests, including setup for the testing environment and detailed result documentation using ATS and PIXIT.Telecommunications Operators:
Verifying that procured network-side ISDN solutions adhere to European standards for VPN services, facilitating multi-vendor interoperability and reliable service delivery.Standards Compliance Auditors:
Using ATS and PIXIT methodologies as evidence of standardized conformity in regulatory and certification contexts.
