Overview
SIST ETS 300 455-1 E1:2003 defines the stage 1 requirements for the Broadband Virtual Path Service for Permanent communications (BVPS-P) within Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (B-ISDN). Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) and harmonized with ETSI standards, this document outlines the characteristics, procedures, and subscription requirements for BVPS-P as offered by public European telecommunication operators.
The BVPS-P enables the transfer of unrestricted digital information between network user points using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology. The standard is specifically focused on semi-permanent (permanent) virtual path services, addressing both non-periodic and periodic subscription options. Its provisions support end-to-end user communication over B-ISDN infrastructure, following key international recommendations.
Key Topics
- B-ISDN and ATM Foundations:
The service is built on B-ISDN using ATM for high-speed, reliable digital data transfer. - Permanent Virtual Path Service (BVPS-P):
Enables point-to-point, unidirectional, or bidirectional communication between users. - Subscription Models:
Supports both non-periodic (always-on) and periodic (time-slot based) VPs, with negotiable service parameters such as peak cell rate (PCR), quality of service (QoS), and VP identifiers (VPI). - Provisioning Procedures:
Defines clear processes for service activation, modification, deactivation, registration, and termination, ensuring predictable service management. - Service Attributes:
Includes detailed specifications on information transfer modes (CBR and VBR), VP structure, access protocols, and QoS parameters. - Interworking:
Facilitates connections with private B-ISDNs, ensuring compatibility and flexibility in diverse network environments.
Applications
Broadband Virtual Path Service for Permanent Communications provides significant practical value in the following scenarios:
- Enterprise Connectivity:
Large organizations can establish reliable, permanent high-speed links between office sites, data centers, or divisions, ensuring consistent data flow. - Telecommunication Infrastructure:
Service providers use BVPS-P to construct core B-ISDN backbones and deliver dedicated ATM connections to businesses and operators. - Carrier Services:
BVPS-P supports resellers and telecom operators in partitioning their backbone for multiple clients, each with guaranteed resources and attributes. - Advanced Digital Services:
Foundations for services such as video conferencing, bulk data transfer, and other high-bandwidth applications that require assured, continuous connectivity. - Private Network Extensions:
BVPS-P supports enterprise or institutional extensions to private B-ISDN networks, providing seamless integration with public broadband infrastructure.
The standardized procedures and attributes ensure service predictability, interoperability, and performance guarantees for critical business or infrastructure applications.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the stage 1 of the Broadband Virtual Path
Service for Permanent communications (BVPS-P) for a Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network
(B-ISDN), as provided by European public telecommunication operators.
Part 2 of this ETS (ETS 300 455-2 [13]) defines the stage 1 of the Broadband Virtual Path Service for
Reserved communications (BVPS-R) for a Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN), as
provided by European public telecommunication operators.
This ETS does not specify the additional requirements where the service is provided to the user via a
telecommunication network that is not a B-ISDN, but it does include requirements for interworking of other
networks with a B-ISDN.
This ETS is applicable to stage two and stage three standards for the BVPS-P. The terms "stage two" and
"stage three" are also defined in CCITT Recommendation I.130 [4]. Where the text indicates the status of
a requirement (i.e. as strict command or prohibition, as authorisation leaving freedom, or as a capability or
possibility), this shall be reflected in the text of the relevant stage two and stage three standards.
Furthermore, conformance to this ETS is met by conforming to the stage three standards with the field of
application appropriate to the equipment being implemented. Therefore, no method of testing is provided
for this ETS.
Charging principles and management operations are outside the scope of this ETS.
The BVPS-P provides the transfer of unrestricted digital information between T .or S /T reference
B B B
points. It does not preclude the applicability of the BVPS-P to S .
B
The provision of the BVPS-P is based on the use of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Virtual Path (VP)
connections in a B-ISDN.
