FOREWORD

ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU‑T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.

The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU‑T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1.

In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T’s purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.

 

 

 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process.

As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, the ITU had/had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database.

Recommendation Q.811

LOWER LAYER PROTOCOL PROFILES FOR THE Q and X INTERFACES

(revised in 2003)

1           Introduction

1           Scope

This Recommendation is a part of a series of Recommendations dealing with the transfer of information for the management of telecommunications systems. This Recommendation defines the requirements of lower layer protocol profiles for the Q and X interfaces[1], as defined in Recommendation M.3010 [1] and in other M.3000-Series Recommendations. The companion Recommendation Q.812 [2] defines the requirements of the upper layer protocol profiles for the Q and X interfaces. The Q and X interfaces will support bidirectional data transfer for the management of telecommunications systems.

The need for security functionality is recognized, but is not fully addressed in this Recommendation and is for further study. Users may need to use mechanisms outside this Recommendation in order to address their specific security needs. Security mechanisms chosen may depend on the network configuration being used.

If new operational requirements are developed that imply distinctions need to made here between the Q and X interfaces, future versions of this Recommendation, or possibly new Recommendations, will reflect these differences.

This Recommendation defines:

?           the layer service profiles for the defined supported networks;

?           the layer protocol profiles for the defined supported networks;

?           the requirements at the layer 3/layer 4 service boundary for any network used to support the Q and X interfaces of the TMN;

?          

?          

This Recommendation conforms to the "T" profiles in framework for International Standardized Profiles (ISP) as specified in ISO/IEC TR 10000-1 [64] and ISO/IEC TR 10000-2 [65]. Profiles in this Recommendation align with equivalent ISPs (as specified in conformance clause) if available. It is the intention to align those profiles for which there are no equivalent ISPs at present to ISPs as they are standardized by ISO SGFS.

5           Lower layer protocol profiles: Overview

The communication services and protocol referred to in this Recommendation are in accordance with the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model [3].

The protocols for the different layers are based on ITU-T (CCITT) Recommendations and/or ISO/IEC Standards.

The protocol profiles can be applied to DCN, as defined by Recommendation M.3010 [1].

Any Administration may use any existing network that meets the requirements at the layer 3/layer 4 service boundary.

For the Protocol Profiles defined in this Recommendation, interoperability mechanisms are to be defined as a part of this Recommendation. For networks not using these profiles, it is the responsibility of the individual Administration to solve any interoperability problems that may exist.

7.3.3.1       Services profile

The definition of the connectionless-mode Network service shall comply with that specified in CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348 [6]. Address formats supported shall also conform to CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348 [6].

The Network layer shall provide the N-UNITDATA service as specified in CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348 [6].

7.3.3.3       Network layer attributes

Characteristics of the connectionless-mode Network layer service and the connectionless-mode Network layer protocol shall be as shown in Table 2.

Table 2/Q.811 ? Connectionless-mode network layer service/protocol parameters

a

Destination and Source Addresses used by this Protocol shall conform to one of the Network Service Access Points (NSAPs) address formats specified in CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348 [6].

The Destination and Source Addresses are of variable length. The Destination and Source Address fields shall be as Network Protocol Address Information using the preferred Binary Encoding specified in CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348 [6].

b

The setting of Error Reporting Flag (E/R) shall be a local matter (Note).

c

Partial Source Routing shall NOT be supported. A defect exists with this option which can cause PDUs to loop in the network until their lifetime expires.

d

Inactive Subset ? Implementations shall not transmit PDUs encoded using the ITU‑T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473‑1 inactive subset. Received PDUs encoded with the inactive subset shall be discarded.

e

Segmentation ? The non-segmentation subset shall NOT be used. However, implementations shall be capable of receiving and correctly processing PDUs which do not contain the segmentation part.

f

Segmentation Permitted Flag ? Implementations shall NOT generate data PDUs without a segmentation part, i.e. the Segmentation Permitted Flag (SP) shall be set to 1 and the segmentation part shall be included.

g

Lifetime Control ? The lifetime parameter shall be used as specified in 6.4 of ITU‑T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473‑1. This parameter shall have an initial value of at least three times the network span (number of network entities) or three times the maximum transmission delay (in units of 500 milliseconds), whichever is greater. The default initial PDU lifetime control shall be 10 seconds.

h

Quality of Service (QOS) ? The use of the QOS Maintenance Parameter shall be dependent upon the QOS requirements of the subnetworks supporting an instance of OS-NE communications. When QOS is used, it shall comply with the specifications in 6.16, 6.19, and 7.5.6 of ITU‑T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1. It is recommended that Quality of Service Maintenance be supported and that the globally unique QOS format be used which includes the Congestion Experienced (CE) bit used by the Congestion Notification option.

i

Reassembly timer ? The reassembly timer must be less than the largest value of all the lifetime parameters contained in all derived PDUs. The default Reassembly timer shall be 12 seconds.

j

Congestion Notification ? The use of Congestion Notification option is recommended. The default value should be 0 when originating PDUs. For NEs and MDs that act as ISs, it is recommended that Congestion Notification be supported so that end systems can take appropriate action to avoid and recover from network congestion.

NOTE ? The use of error Reporting and setting the E/R flag to 1 may lead to excessive network traffic.

7.3.3.4       ES-IS routing

TMN entities that use the CLNP shall support the ISO 9542 [47] for ES-IS routing exchange. The ES-IS protocol is provisioned as either an End System (ES) role, or an Intermediate System (IS) role. The Data Communication Function (DCF) within the TMN entities must therefore be provisioned in accordance with their role(s).


The ES-IS protocol subsets: Configuration Information (CI) and Redirection Information (RI) shall be supported in accordance with the type of subnetwork, as shown in Table 3. Tables 4 and 5 give the timer values and options for the ES and IS roles respectively.

7.3.3.5       IS-IS Intra-Domain Routing

ISO/IEC 10589 [48], the IS-IS intra-domain protocol for use with the CLNP, shall be used by TMN entities that operate as Intermediate Systems for the purpose of routing connectionless NPDUs.

Each IS within the TMN must be capable of routing within their area and therefore must provide the functionality of a Level 1 IS. Additionally, an IS may be provisioned as a Level 2 IS, which provides the capability of routing from one area to another and therefore contains routing information about ISs outside a specific area. The functionality of a Level 2 IS is not needed in each IS within the TMN. An example of a Level 2 IS might be a gateway NE. Details for use of ISO/IEC 10589 for TMN applications are found in Tables 6 through 11.

7.4.2        Data link layer profile

It is mandatory that the Data Link layer conforms to LAPB as defined in Recommendation X.25 [12]. In addition, provision shall be made for connection between Data Terminal Equipment without an intervening packet switched network. The interface shall conform to ISO/IEC 7776 [13].

7.4.2.1       Service profile

The Data Link layer service shall be as defined in ITU-T Rec. X.212 | ISO/IEC 8886 [61].

7.4.2.2       Protocol profile

7.4.2.2.1      Equipment type during link set-up and reset

When a packet switched network is used to connect systems, they are each designated "Data Terminal Equipment" (DTE) and the network acts as a "Data Circuit-terminating Equipment" (DCE). When a dedicated or dial-up link is provided, other means must be used to supply the DCE role.

At the Physical layer the modems will provide the DCE interface, supplying bit synchronization.

At the link level, the procedures specified in ISO/IEC 7776 [13] shall be followed. A system must be able to start the set-up or reset of the link (a DCE function in Recommendation X.25 [12]). In addition, provision must be made for assignments of the A/B addresses. This mandatory option is to be field-settable and stored in non-volatile memory. Equipment which meets this requirement is compatible with connection to either a DCE or remote DTE.

7.4.2.2.2      Window

Support of modulo 8 is mandatory. The window for unacknowledged frames is to be optional between 1 and 7 frames and 1 to 127 with modulo 128. The standard default is 7. For efficient operation over satellite links modulo 128 operation is required, with a default window size of 35.


7.4.2.2.3      User information

The user information is to be arranged in an integral number of octets.

The maximum length of the user information shall be user settable, consistent with the range of values for the N1 parameter as shown in Table 17. Maximum information field lengths that shall be supported are 131 and 259 octets with 515, 1027, 2051, and 4099 octets optional. These values provide for three packet header octets and maximum length of User Data Field of 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 octets, respectively.

7.4.2.2.4      Other frame parameters

Certain other frame parameters shall be set by the user to be consistent with the bit rate, frame size and characteristics of the connecting network. A system design should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate parameter sets for diverse networks, both as order options and later reconfigurations. The range of parameters is shown in Table 17. These options, like those of the Physical layer, are to be set at installation, changeable by the user, and non-volatile.

7.4.3        Network layer profile

7.4.3.1       Service profile

The connectionless-mode Network layer service shall be as specified in CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348.

7.4.3.2       Protocol profiles

The protocols for the Network layer shall be identical to the Network layer protocol of Protocol Profile CONS1 (see 7.85.7.3) with the inclusion of ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 [7] as specified in clause 4 of ISO/IEC 8880-3 [14], to provide the connectionless-mode Network service over the connection-mode Network service.

For those instances of communication requiring interworking between a connection-mode service (CONS) and a connectionless-mode service (CLNS), ITU-T Rec. X.200 | ISO/IEC 7498-1 [3] and ISO 8648 [15] provide an OSI compatible interworking capability. This capability is known as a Network Layer Relay (NLR) and utilizes the ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 [7] protocol to provide this service.

b)   The value of timer T3, the disconnect timer, is not critical for successful interworking of OSs and NEs. Therefore no value is specified.

c)   In some cases, users may need to choose a maximum information field length of 259 octets (N1 = 2104 for Modulo 8 or N1 = 2120 for Modulo 128) with a 128 octets packet data unit in order to accommodate call request packets containing 128 octets user data fields in addition to the packet header and facility fields. These values are based on Modulo 8 or Modulo 128 operation at both link and packet layer.

d)   Optional.

     The default values shall be part of a vendor’s offering. That is, unless otherwise specified by the user, the default parameters shall be the initial values supplied. They can be subsequently changed by the user within the specified range.

7.5.2.1       B-channel

Requirements for the topmost sub-layer (ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1) of the Network layer in the B-channel are identical with those defined in 7.3.35.3.3 (and its subclauses) for the CLNS1 and CLNS2 Protocol Profile cases.

7.5.2.1.1      Subnetwork dependent convergence function

On the B-channel a connection may be provisioned to provide either an OSI Data Link service, or an X.25 packet service.

7.5.2.1.1.1     B-channel OSI data link service

For B-channels providing the OSI Data Link service defined in ITU-T Rec. X.212 | ISO/IEC 8886 [61], the SNDCF shall be as defined in ITU Rec. X. 623 | ISO/IEC 8473-4 [10] and ITU-T Rec. X.625 | ISO/IEC 8473‑5.

7.5.2.1.1.2     B-Channel X.25 packet service

For B-channels providing the X.25 packet service defined in ISO/IEC 8208 [16], the SNDCF shall be as defined in ITU-T Rec. X. 622 | ISO/IEC 8473-3 [9] and ITU-T Rec. X.625 | ISO/IEC 8473-5.

?            For Layer 3 ? STD0005 "Internet Protocol", J. September 1981. (Includes RFC0791, RFC0950, RFC0919, RFC0922, RFC792, RFC1112).  

?            The lower layers are defined in the Ethernet Profile

7.6.2        Ipv4 with IPSec Profile

This profile defines an additional option of this protocol profile for use as TMN lower layer protocols. This profile is based on the use of Secure Internet Protocols [70] defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).  IPsec uses two protocols to provide traffic security --  Authentication Header (AH) [72] and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)[73]. Each protocol supports two modes of use: transport mode and tunnel mode

 

Support of ESP is mandatory. Support of AH is optional. Both transport mode and tunnel mode must be supported for each protocol.

 

Lower layers are defined in the Ethernet Profile

7.6.3        IPv6 Profile

?            For Layer 3 ? RFC 2460 "Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification" [71]

?       For Layer 3 ? STD0005 "Internet Protocol", J. September 1981. (Includes RFC0791, RFC0950, RFC0919, RFC0922, RFC792, RFC1112). In addition, when larger addresses are required RFC1752 (reference RFC1752 "The Recommendation for the IP Next Generation Protocol", January 1995) should be used when approved.

             NOTE ? Currently, RFC1752 is at the Proposed Standard status.

?            The lower layers are not specified.

.[Editor’s Note: Contributions required for IPv6]

1.1         IPSec: Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol

7.8.3.1       Numbering plans

To support communications over public networks, public numbering plans may be used on the packet-switched network between OSs and MDs/QAs/NEs. The 1988 versions of Recommendations E.164 [18] and X.121 [19] specify public numbering plans. Equipment may be assigned numbers in accordance with either of these international Recommendations. The escape code values of "0" and "9" shall be supported as specified in Table 2/X.121. Where a public numbering plan is not necessary, a private numbering plan may be used.

Network layer addressing as specified in CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348 [6] shall be supported.

Additional numbering plans, such as Q.708 for SS7 [58], may be supported in the future as the evolution of new subnetwork technologies require.

7.8.3.1.1      CLNP (ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1) communication

When an instance of data communications involves use of the ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 CLNP, a Network Service Access Point (NSAP) address scheme shall be used. For examples of possible NSAP structures, refer to Appendix I.

7.8.3.2       Services profile

7.8.3.2.1      Expedited data negotiation

The initiator shall be capable of proposing the non-use of the expedited data service. Responders shall be capable of receiving requests for the expedited data service, but shall be capable of responding with non-use of the service. The expedited data service is neither required nor precluded by this Recommendation.

NOTE 1 ? Some countries may use 56 000 bit/s for an interim period of time. In addition to the codes specified in the Table in 7.2.2.2/X.25, 56 000 bit/s shall be encoded as binary 1 100. 48 000 bit/s is encoded as binary 1 100 in that table, but when 56 000 bit/s is supported, the code shall stand for 56 000 bit/s.

NOTE 2 ? The default values shall be part of a vendor’s offering. That is, unless otherwise specified by the user, the default parameters shall be the initial values supplied. They can be subsequently changed by the user within the specified range.

NOTE 3 ? The attributes which are not marked optional are mandatory.

NOTE 4 ? The ranges specified for negotiated parameters in no way affect the normal A negotiation rules specified in the International Standards.

NOTE 5 ? The default window size for satellite operations is 35.

7.8.3.2.2      Receipt confirmation negotiation

The initiator shall be capable of setting bit 7 of the General Format Identifier to 0. Responders shall be capable of receiving bit 7 set to 1, but shall be capable of responding with bit 7 set to 0. The Receipt Confirmation Service is neither required nor precluded by this Recommendation.

7.8.3.2.3      Throughput class

When the end system requires only one Network layer connection on a physical access port, support of throughput classes up to the access line transmission rate is required. When multiple Network layer connections are required, support of the throughput class equal to the access line transmission rate is optional. Further study of Throughput Class range and default values at various access line rates is needed.


7.8.3.2.4      Packet size negotiation

Interoperability is achieved by having the initiator propose a packet size from the set specified in Tables 18 and 19 and by the responder selecting the most appropriate packet size between 128 and the proposed packet size. The rules for negotiation of the size of the packet to be used in a given instance of communication are specified in ISO/IEC 8208 [16].

The choice of packet size is a local issue which can depend on, for example, the overall Quality of Service requested or needed by the user or Application Layer, and the subnetwork characteristics.

7.8.3.3       Protocol profile

7.8.3.3.1      Equipment type during restart

When the packet level X.25 interface is used, automatic selection of the DCE/DTE role during restart is required, as specified in ISO/IEC 8208 [16].

7.8.3.3.2      Other features and parameters

The packet layer attributes are summarized in Tables 18 and 19.

7.8.3.3.3      User data field

When layers above X.25 are used, the initial octets of (N)-DATA primitive and the corresponding user data field are used for peer-to-peer protocol data for those layers.

In following the procedures of Recommendation X.244 [20], ISO/IEC TR 9577 [21], and Annex B of ISO/IEC 8073 [42] and Recommendation X.224 [43], the initial octets of the user data field of the call request packet may only be used for protocol identification. For those cases in which the fast select feature is used, the call request packet may contain a call user data field of up to 128 octets.

7.9         Packet mode bearer service on the D-channel (CONS2)

7.9.1        Physical layer profile

The Physical layer conforms to Recommendations I.430 [22] for basic rate access and I.431 [23] for primary rate access.

8           Network layer service

8.1         Network layer profiles

The following subclauses will describe three ways in which the lower three layers of the Protocol Profiles may be viewed as transparent to the Transport (layer 4) and the upper layers (5, 6 and 7).

NOTE ? Table 10/Q.811 (1993), Homogeneous lower layer protocol profiles, has been deleted.


8.1.1        Existing lower layer profiles

The group of subnetworks described in clause 5 have been chosen so that the services provided by the respective Network layer protocols will ensure operation of the OSI Transport protocol. The services of the Transport layer, in turn, are those required for operation of the higher OSI layers (i.e. layers five to seven).

8.1.2        Network layer service description for new subnetworks

On a forward going basis, any subnetwork developed must meet the criteria provided for the Network layer service as viewed by the Transport layer. There are two services provided by the Network layer, the Connection-mode Network layer Service (CONS), and the Connectionless-mode Network layer Service (CLNS).

These services are described in CCITT Rec. X.213 | ISO/IEC 8348.

8.1.3        Non-conforming Network layer profile

For a subnetwork which does not, by itself, provide the CLNS, the addition of ITU‑T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 with the proper choice of SNDCP will provide a combination that will meet the Network layer service description.

Subnetwork Dependent Convergence Protocols (SNDCPs) are described for the use of ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 over ISO/IEC 8208/X.25 networks, ISO/IEC 8802-2 subnetworks [5], subnetworks that provide the OSI Data Link service [10], and ISDN circuit-switched B‑channels [11].

8.1.4        Security

ITU-T Rec. X.273 | ISO/IEC 11577 [59] specifies security features for the OSI Network layer, and some security capabilities are available in the Network layer protocols [e.g. mandatory Closed User Groups (CUGs) and optional bilateral CUGs in the X.25 packet protocol].

8.2         Internetworking

This subclause describes the technical principles for interworking between DCNs within a TMN, and between TMNs using different protocol stacks. In some cases interworking units have to be supplied between the different DCNs. It is the responsibility of the two TMN Administrations to determine which Administration shall provide the IWU. This interworking procedure is known as Network Layer Relay (NLR).

When networks of different types, such as connection-mode and connectionless-mode, wish to transfer information across the boundary, internetworking principles are stated in ITU‑T Rec. X.200 | ISO/IEC 7498‑1 [3] and ISO 8648 [15]. These standards state that internetworking should occur within the Network layer. The Transport layer and higher layers operate on a peer-to-peer basis between the communicating end systems. A family of subnetwork dependent convergence protocols has been developed [8] to [11] that provide for the operation of ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 over different subnetworks. Thus, in the example above, ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 would operate over both the connection-mode subnetworks and over the connectionless-mode subnetworks. The Transport layer, ISO/IEC 8073 [42] and Recommendation X.224 [43], would provide for operation over both the connection-mode subnetworks and the connectionless-mode subnetworks. In this example, the Transport layer would operate in the Class 4 mode. Thus, the internetworking between dissimilar subnetworks would be achieved and the Transport layer and higher layers of the end systems would operate on a peer-to-peer basis.


There are three basic principles to be followed in adopting interworking solutions between Q/X protocol stacks.

The three principles are:

1)          interworking should be done in the Network layer;

2)          existing standards should be applied for interworking functions; e.g. X.300-Series Recommendations should be applied for interworking between certain types of CONS‑based networks; and NLR using ITU-T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 and associated SNDCFs should be used for interworking between CLNS-based networks;

3)          new interworking functions should be specified only if existing standards for interworking cannot meet requirements of new network capabilities.

Definition of the relaying functions of a CONS-CONS Network layer intermediate system is given in ISO/IEC 10028 [57]. How the Network internal layer service is provided for relaying between X.25 packet systems is given in ISO/IEC 10177 [56].

A general guide to interworking between the various Transport profile groups is given is ISO/IEC TR 10000-2 [65].

How relaying is performed between CLNS-based subnetworks is defined in ITU‑T Rec. X.233 | ISO/IEC 8473-1 [7].

Table 24 shows Protocol Profiles which are to be applied to a reference point which has interworking, and defines internetworking methods.

NLR            Interworking is within the Internet Network layer (i.e. the IP layer).

8.2.1        Interworking between TMN entities supporting OSI only with entities supporting IP

Two functions as defined by G.7712 shall be supported by TMN entity when IP is connected to an entity with OSI only for inter-working. These are Network Layer PDU interworking and IP Routing Interworking. The PDU interworking is supported using Network Layer PDU Encapsulation function (section 7.1.8 of G.7712) and Network Layer PDU tunnelling function (section 7.1.9 of G.7712). The IP Routing Interworking function is supported using Integrated IS-IS routing as defined in section 7.1.10 of G.7712.”

Annex A

Protocol stack for information transfer over ISDN transparent B-channel

A.1        Introduction

This Annex describes a protocol stack for connection between data terminal equipment without an intervening packet switched network. End systems are making use of the 64 kbit/s unrestricted circuit-mode bearer service offered by an ISDN. The OSI connection-mode service (OSI-CONS) over ISDN transparent B-channel defined in this Annex is identified as CONS4 at the Q and X interfaces.

The CONS4 lower layer protocol profile provides for a connection-mode interface using ISDN transparent B-channel.

A.2.1     Physical layer profile

The Physical layer conforms to Recommendations I.430 for basic rate access and I.431 for primary rate access.

A.2.2     Link layer C-plane profile

The link layer C-plane conforms to Recommendation Q.921 with the default parameters specified for links within the SAP identified by SAPI = 0.

A.2.3     Network layer C-plane profile

The Network layer C-plane conforms to Recommendation Q.931 for circuit-switched call control procedures using codings of information element as in Table A.1.

A.2.4     Supplementary services

The supplementary service Sub-addressing (SUB) is required in order to convey the called and calling NSAP address in the called and calling party subaddress information element, respectively. In addition, the supplementary service Closed User Group (CUG) may be used to restrict, in a public Data Communication Network (DCN), access of endsystems which are the members of a TMN.

A.2.5     Link layer U-plane profile

The link layer U-plane conforms to International Standard ISO/IEC 7776 for Single Link Procedures (SLPs) in DTE-DTE operation. The link layer attributes are specified in Table 17.

A.2.6     Network layer U-plane profile

The Network layer U-plane conforms to International Standard ISO/IEC 8208 for DTE-DTE operation over circuit-switched connections.


Determining "DTE" or "DCE" characteristics is based on restart procedure:

a)          acts as "DCE" when receiving RESTART INDICATION packet with the restarting cause field "DTE originated" and no restart collision occurred;

b)          acts as "DTE" when a RESTART REQUEST packet is subsequently confirmed with a RESTART CONFIRMATION packet (no restart collision occurred);

c)          re-initiates a restart procedure when a randomly-chosen time has elapsed following the detection of a restart collision.

The Network layer attributes specified in Table 19 apply with the additions contained in Table A.2.

Appendix I

Changes to ISP Conformance requirements

(Normative)

The "Identifier", "Feature", and "Status" fields under "Base Reference Standard" refer to the PICS for the particular base standard protocol; whereas the "Clause" field refers to the base protocol specification.

Notation:

a)          Base standard status notation

1)   Base standard type or range:

       M                   Mandatory.

       O                    Optional.

       ?                     Not applicable.

       O.<n>             Optional, but support of at least one of the group of options labelled by the same numeral <n> is required.

       <index>:          This predicate symbol means that the status following applies only when the PICS states that one or more of the items identified by the index is supported. In the simplest case, <index> is the identifying tag of a single PICS item. <index> may also be a Boolean expression composed of several indices.

       <index>::         When this group predicate is true the associated clause should be completed.

b)          Q.811 status notation

The status column in Tables 16 and 17 uses either a one-or two-character notation. The one-character notation indicates the static requirements only. For the two-character notation, the first character is the static requirements and the second character is the dynamic requirements.

1)   Static:

       m                    Mandatory, mandatory to be implemented.

       i                      Out of scope. Not relevant to this profile.

       o                     Optional, optional to be implemented.

       &                    Same as Base Standard.

2)   Dynamic:

       m                    Mandatory (use is mandatory).

       x                     Excluded (use is prohibited within the context of this profile).

       ?                     Not applicable.
