Overview
SIST EN 301 068-5 V1.1.2:2003 is part of the European standard series for the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN), focusing on the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2) protocol. Specifically, this standard addresses the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the network, detailing requirements for testing the connection characteristics, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transfer capability, and traffic parameter indication at the network side.
This standard is essential for ensuring conformance and interoperability across network implementations of DSS2, covering protocols used for efficient broadband communication and service integration. Compliance promotes consistent implementation across European and global telecom infrastructure, supporting both network vendors and service providers.
Key Topics
Test Suite Structure (TSS)
Defines the framework for creating comprehensive test scenarios relevant to DSS2 network interface protocols, particularly at TB and coincident SB/TB reference points.Test Purposes (TP)
Identifies targeted objectives for each test case, focusing on:- Sustainable cell rate parameters
- Traffic management for tagging options
- Broadband bearer capability
- Parameters for available bit rate (ABR) and ATM block transfer (ABT)
- Error handling for various signaling and configuration scenarios
Conformance Testing
Lays out how to verify the external behavior of the network implementation under test (IUT) in line with the reference protocol specifications.Test Case Naming and Organization
Implements systematic naming and grouping of test purposes in accordance with the protocol’s structure, allowing clear mapping to specific features and requirements.Comprehensive Testing Service Requirements
Specifies minimum requirements, such as utilizing remote test methods as per ISO/IEC 9646-2, for organizations claiming to offer conformance testing services.
Applications
This standard is crucial for:
- Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturers
- Ensuring their B-ISDN network implementations fully conform to DSS2 protocol and ATM transfer capabilities.
- Streamlining development and verification processes by providing a clear test strategy and structure.
- Certification and Testing Laboratories
- Delivering standardized conformance assessments for network-side DSS2 implementations, supporting quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
- Facilitating network equipment certification required by operators or authorities within the EU and beyond.
- Network Operators and Service Providers
- Interoperability validation between equipment from different vendors.
- Minimizing risks of integration issues by enforcing consistent behavior aligned with the specified test purposes.
The standardized approach aids in building reliable broadband networks capable of delivering advanced integrated services while maintaining high interoperability and performance standards.
