Overview
SIST EN 301 062-1 V1.2.2:2005 specifies protocol extensions to support Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications within the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) environment, leveraging Signalling System No.7 (SS7). Focusing on Private network Q reference point Signalling System number 1 (PSS1) information flows, this standard details enhancements at the public Network Node Interface (NNI) level, particularly targeting ISDN User Part (ISUP) and Transaction Capabilities (TC). These extensions enable the transparent transport of PSS1 information flows between Private Integrated Services Network Exchanges (PINX), providing comprehensive support for VPN services across both public and private telecommunication networks.
The standard is based on and modifies ITU-T Recommendations Q.765.1 and Q.699.1, aligning European and international requirements for VPN connectivity and signalling interoperability in ISDN networks.
Keywords: ISDN, SS7, VPN, PSS1, ISUP, PINX, DSS1, NNI, protocol specification
Key Topics
- VPN Support in ISDN: Defines protocol extensions ensuring VPN applications function seamlessly across interconnected public and private networks, maintaining service transparency.
- PSS1 Information Flows: Describes mechanisms for the transparent transfer of PSS1 signalling data between PINX nodes, supporting continuity and supplementary services in VPN scenarios.
- NNI Protocol Enhancements: Specifies adaptations for ISUP and TC at the Network Node Interface, optimizing bearer-related and non-bearer-related signalling.
- Application Transport Mechanism (APM): Utilizes APM as described in EN 301 069-1 for managing bearer-related signalling between networks.
- Interworking Between Interfaces: Provides for mapping and interworking between ISDN User Part (ISUP, both versions 2 and 3) and enhanced DSS1 protocols for VPN applications.
- Network Configuration Options: Outlines available network options for supporting gateway and transit nodes, as well as call continuation and relocation of gateway functionality, enhancing network flexibility.
- Alignment with ITU-T Standards: Incorporates and amends ITU-T Q.765.1 and Q.699.1 to address European requirements and ensure consistent service behavior.
Applications
- Corporate VPN Solutions over ISDN: Enables enterprises to deploy secure voice and data services across geographically distributed sites by leveraging public and private ISDN infrastructure and SS7 signalling.
- Interconnection of Private and Public Networks: Facilitates seamless integration and interoperability between private corporate telephony systems (PISN/PINX) and public ISDN networks, supporting unified communication features and supplementary services.
- Service Provider Implementations: Assists telecommunication operators in enhancing ISDN services with advanced VPN functionalities, ensuring compliance with European and international standards.
- Multi-site Business Communications: Supports the delivery of private network services-such as direct dialing, call transfer, and number presentation-across multi-node environments extended via ISDN NNI.

following two clauses (Scope and Normative references):
Scope
The present document describes the extensions required for the support of Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications
over the public Network Node Interface (NNI). This application makes use of the Application Transport Mechanism
(APM) described in EN 301 069-1 for bearer related signalling, and the Transaction Capability (TC) for signalling
involving no bearer. The present document specifies the respective users (i.e. APM-user, TC-user) to support the PSS1
information flows continuity in VPN applications (Transparent transfer of PSS1 information flows between PINX
entities). The public NNI provides transparency to the services of the private network.
The private network functionality is defined by ISO in its series of standards for Private Integrated Services Network
(PISN). In addition, the concept of a "Relay node" is introduced by the present document.
The present document provides for a number of network options. These are summarized in table 1.
Table 1: Network options
Option Values Remarks
Support of GFP functionality at transit Full support
PINX nodes
(subclause 6.2.5) Partial support Not applicable in the international
network (note 1)
Support of GFP functionality at gateway Full support
PINX nodes
(subclause 6.2.6) No support (note 1)
Continuation of calls with no application Supported (note 2)
association
(subclause 6.2.6) Not supported (note 3)
Relocation of gateway function Supported
(subclause 6.2.6) Not supported
NOTE 1: Use of these options might result in certain private network supplementary services behaving
in an unexpected manner or not working at all.
NOTE 2: In this case VPN calls has to be routed using a mechanism which can correctly route the call to
the terminating access without use of the VPN procedures specified in the present document.
NOTE 3: In this case, it is required that the VPN procedures are only used on calls which are routed to
addresses which are known to support the VPN application via signalling which supports the
APM, otherwise the call will be released.
In addition, this EN describes the interworking between Signalling System Number 7 (ISDN) and extended DSS1 for
the support of VPN applications with PSS1 information flows. For the interworking in this EN related to ISUP, these
replace that specified in ETS 300 899 whereas all other interworking of PSS1 information flows is according to that
specified in ETS 300 899.
The interworking described here provides a sub-set of all possible interworking scenarios and is therefore intended to
describe only the relevant mapping of information flows between the two interfaces being described.
