Overview
SIST EN 301 068-1:2000 defines the protocol specification for the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2) within the context of Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN), focusing specifically on the connection characteristics, ATM transfer capability, and traffic parameter indication at the User-Network Interface (UNI) layer 3. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), this standard is identical to EN 301 068-1 and incorporates modifications to several ITU-T Recommendations (including Q.2961 parts 1-4).
The standard ensures harmonized implementation of DSS2-based signalling and ATM transfer capability for B-ISDN across European public telecommunications networks, as provided by network operators. It extends earlier standards such as EN 300 443-1, especially regarding additional traffic parameter support for Broadband Connection-Oriented Bearer Service (BCOB).
Key Topics
DSS2 Protocol Procedures
Details the DSS2 protocol’s procedures, message formats, and functions necessary to support ATM transfer capabilities and advanced traffic parameters during call or connection establishment.ATM Transfer Capability
Describes how support for various ATM transfer capabilities beyond basic call/connection control is signalled, providing the necessary mechanism for quality and service differentiation in broadband environments.Traffic Parameter Indication
Specifies the signalling of additional traffic parameters, such as Peak Cell Rate (PCR), Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR), and Maximum Burst Size (MBS), supporting optimal network resource allocation and service guarantees.Compatibility and Modifications
Outlines modifications made to referenced ITU-T Recommendations for European context, ensuring compatibility with previous editions and related control protocols such as EN 300 443-1.UNI Layer 3 Enhancements
Focuses on the UNI layer 3 enhancements required for supporting a broader set of ATM service capabilities, applicable at the TB reference point, as defined by ITU-T I.413.
Applications
SIST EN 301 068-1:2000 finds critical application in:
Telecommunications Network Design
Used by public telecommunication operators for implementing DSS2-based ATM signalling and connection management at the UNI, ensuring reliable and standardized broadband service provision.Broadband Service Providers
Essential for broadband ISDN service providers who require advanced signalling and traffic control capabilities to support differentiated ATM services for enterprise and residential customers.Equipment Manufacturers
Beneficial for manufacturers of ATM switches, network interfaces, and B-ISDN customer premises equipment to ensure interoperability and compliance with European broadband interface requirements.Network Testing and Validation
Forms the basis for conformance testing and validation of equipment through the delineation of protocol specifications, serving as a foundation for related test suites and implementation conformance statements.
Related Standards
For comprehensive compliance and implementation, reference the following standards:
- EN 300 443-1: Protocol specification for B-ISDN basic call/connection control at the UNI.
- ITU-T Recommendation I.413: Defines the B-ISDN user-network interfaces, including the TB reference point.
- ITU-T Recommendations Q.2961.1–Q.2961.4: Original protocol specifications for traffic parameter indication and ATM transfer capabilities (modified in this standard).
- EN 301 174-1: Amendments relevant for call control procedures.
- EN 301 067-1 and EN 301 003-1: Related extensions for ATM signalling.
- ETSI standards for protocol conformance and test specifications: For validation and quality assurance in deployments.
By adhering to SIST EN 301 068-1:2000, network providers and equipment manufacturers ensure robust interoperability and optimized traffic management in broadband ISDN environments, supporting modern digital communications across the European market.

Foreword
This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Signalling
Protocols and Switching (SPS).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part standard covering the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two
(DSS2) protocol specification for the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) ATM transfer
capability and traffic parameter indication, as described below:
Part 1: "Protocol specification [ITU-T Recommendation Q.2961 Part 1 (1995), Part 2 (1997), Part 3 (1997),
Part 4 (1997), modified]";
Part 2: "Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma specification";
Part 3: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the user";
Part 4: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT)
proforma specification for the user";
Part 5: "TSS&TP specification for the network";
Part 6: "ATS and partial PIXIT proforma specification for the network".
The present document details the access signalling system protocol aspects and switching functions required to support
the ATM transfer capability and the related traffic parameter indication at call and/or connection establishment time.

Insert the following clause (Scope).
Scope
This first part of EN 301 068 covers the support of additional traffic parameters for the Broadband Integrated Services
Digital Network (B-ISDN) at the T reference point or coincident S and T reference point as defined in ITU-T
B B B
Recommendation I.413 by means of the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2) protocol for the pan-
European Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) as provided by European public telecommunication
operators.
It defines the DSS2 protocol procedures, formats and functions needed to support the identified ATM transfer
capabilities and the ATM traffic related additional capabilities.
The specifications provided by the present document allow for the signalling of the ATM transfer capabilities and of the
additional traffic parameters beyond the ones already specified by EN 300 443-1 for B-ISDN basic call/connection
control at the UNI. The additional traffic parameters support a Broadband Connection-Oriented Bearer Service (BCOB)
as specified in ITU-T Recommendation F.811.
The present document forms part of the DSS2 family of standards; it specifies extensions to EN 300 443-1 which
specifies the control protocol for point-to-point call/bearer connection, and does not repeat states, information elements,
messages and procedures contained therein, but only specifies extensions related to additional traffic parameter
indications.
This present document does not cover procedures for the negotiation and modification/re-negotiation of the ATM traffic
parameters.
