ETSI ETS 300 008-2 Annex A
Description: OpenSS7 SS7 ETSI MTP PICS Proforma.
Annex A (normative): PICS proforma for ETS 300 008-1
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text
of this ETS, ETSI grands that users of this ETS may freely reproduce the PICS
proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its intended purposes and
may further publish the completed PICS.
A.1 Guidance for completing the PICS proforma
A.1.1 Purpose and structure
The purpose of this PICS proforma is to provide a mechanism whereby a
supplier of an implementation of the requirement define in ETS 300 008-1 [1]
may provide information about the implementation in a standardized manner.
The PICS proforma is subdivided into subclauses for the following
categories of information:
- guidance for completing the PICS proforma;
- identification of the implementation;
- identification of the ETS;
- global statement of conformance;
- capabilities.
A.1.2 Abbreviations and conventions
The PICS proforma contained in this annex is comprised of information in
tabular form in accordance with the guidelines presented in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4].
- Item column
The item column contains a number which identifies the item in the table.
- Item description column
The item description column describes in free text each respective item
(e.g., parameters, timers, etc.). It implicitly means "is <item
description> supported by the implementation?".
- Status column
The following notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4], are used for the
status column:
| m |
mandatory - the capability is required to be supported |
| o |
optional - the capability may be supported or not |
| n/a |
not applicable - in the given context, it is impossible to use the
capability |
| x |
prohibited (excluded) - there is a requirement not to use this
capability in the given context |
| i |
out of scope ("i" stands for irrelevant) - this capability
is outside the scope of the given base standard and hence irrelevant and not
subject to conformance testing. No answer is requested from the
supplier |
| o.i |
qualified optional - for mutually exclusive or selectable options from
a set. "i" is an integer which identifies a unique group of related
optional items and the logic of their selection which is defined immediately
following the table |
| ci |
conditional - the requirement on the capability ("m",
"o", "x" or "n/a") depends on the support of
other optional or conditional items. "i" is an integer identifying
an unique conditional status expression which is defined immediately following
the table |
- Reference column
The reference column make reference to ETS 300 008-1 [1], except where explicitly stated otherwise.
- Support column
The support column shall be filled in by the supplier of the
implementation. The following common notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4],
are used for the support column:
| Y or y |
supported by the implementation |
| N or n |
not supported by the implementation |
| N/A, n/a or - |
no answer required (allowed only if the status is n/a, directly or
after evaluation of a conditional status) |
If this PICS proforma is completed in order to describe a multiple-profile
support in a system, it is necessary to be able to answer that a capability is
supported for one profile and not supported for another. In that case, the
supplier shall enter the unique reference to a conditional expression,
preceded by "?" (e.g. ?3). This expression shall be given in the
space for comments provided at the bottom of the table. It uses predicates
defined in the SCS, each of which refers to a single profile and which takes
the value TRUE if and only if that profile is to be used.
EXAMPLE: ?3: IF prof1 THEN Y ELSE N
It is also possible to provide a comment to an answer in the space provided
at the bottom of the table.
NOTE: As state in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4], support for a received PDU requires
the ability to parse all valid parameters of that PDU. Supporting a PDU while
having no ability to parse a valid paramter is non-conformant. Support for a
parameter on a PDU means that the semanitics of that parameter are supported.
Unless specifically convered by a table listing PDU parameters and giving
details regarding their status, all parameters of a PDU are required to be
fully supported on sending. Support of a PDU therefore implies full support of
all required PDU parameters.
- Values allowed column
The values allowed column contains the type, the list, the range, or the
length of values allowed. The following notations are used:
| - |
range of values: |
<min value> .. <max value>
example: 5 .. 20 |
| - |
list of values: |
<value1>, <value2>, ......., <valueN>
example:
2, 4, 6, 8, 9
example:
`1101'B, `1011'B,
`1111'B
example: `0A'H,
`34'H, `2F'H |
| - |
list of named values: |
<name1>(<val1>), <name2>(<val2>), .......,
<nameN>(<valN>)
example: reject(1), accept(2) |
| - |
length: |
size(<min size> .. <max size>)
example: size(1 .. 8) |
- Values supported column
The values supported column shall be filed in by the supplier of the
implementation. In this column, the values or the ranges of values supported
by the implementation shall be indicated.
Reference to items
For each possible item answer (answer in the support column) within the
PICS proforma a unique reference exists, used, for example, in the conditional
expressions. It is defined as the table identifier, followed by a solidus
character "/", followed by the item number in the table. If there is
more than one support column in a table, the columns are discriminated by
letters (a, b, etc.), respectively.
| EXAMPLE 1: |
A.5/4 is the reference to the answer of item 4 in table 5 of annex
A. |
| EXAMPLE 2: |
A.6/3b is the reference to the second answer (i.e. in the second
support column) of item 3 in table 6 of annex A. |
A.1.3 Instructions for completing the PIC proforma
The supplier of the implementation shall complete the PICS proforma in each
of the spaces provided. In particular, an explicit answer shall be entered, in
each of the support or supported column boxes provided, using the notation
described in subclause A.1.2.
If necessary, the supplier may provide additional comments in space at the
bottom of the tables, or separately on sheets of paper.
More detailed instructions are given at the beginning of the different
subclauses of the PICS proforma.
A.2 Identification of the Implementation

A.3 Identification of the protocol
This PICS proforma applies to the following standard:
ETS 300 008-1 (1996): "Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN);
Signalling System No. 7; Message Transfer Part (MTP) to support international
interconnection; Part 1: Protocol specification [ITU-T Recommendations Q.701
(1993), Q.702 (1988), Q.703 to Q.706 (1993), Q.707 (1988) and Q.708 (1993), modified]".
A.4 Global statement of conformace
Are all mandatory capabilities implemented? (Yes/No): Yes
| NOTE: |
Anwering "No" to this question indicates non-conformance to
the protocol specification. Non-supported mandatory capabilities are to be
identified in the PICS, with an explanation of why the implementation is
non-conforming, on pages attached to the PICS proforma. |
A.5 Capabilities
This clause contains the core of the PICS proforma for the MTP protocol, as
specified in ITU-T Recommendations or ETS 300 008-1 [1] where this modifies
the equivalent ITU-T Recommendations, for both MTP level 2 and MTP level 3.
The proforma are presented in the form of tables. Subclauses A.5.1 to A.5.10
contain the individual clauses of the PICS proforma.
A.5.1 Major capabilities - MTP level 2
The supplier of the implementation shall state whether or not the
(signalling) procedures for the MTP level 2 as specified in ITU-T
Recommendation Q.703 as modified by ETS 300 008-1 [1] are supported, in the

Comments:
Note 1:
Detection of receive congestion is implementation dependent. The
OpenSS7 stack provides for detection of receive congestion. This is performed
by tracking the backlogged rececived SUs which are awaiting processing or
delivery to MTP Level 3. Three threshold values:
rb_accept,
rb_discrd and
rb_abate
determine the level (in number of SUs backlogged) that will trigger receive
congestion and abatement.
This function does not check RB
(Receive Buffer) occupancy, but rather checks the number of backlogged SUs
between the hardware and the SS7 MTP Level 2 and Level 3 state
machines.

c081: IF A.8/3 THEN m ELSE n/a
Comments:
Note 1: Local processor outage is not detected. This is because the SS7
Level 2 state machines are running on the same processor as the SS7 Level 3
state machines. Should this change (e.g. Level 2 state machines are run on the
interface card) 8/3 and 8/4 may be supported in a later release. Mechanisms
have been provided to send and receive LPO primitives.
Local processor outage procedures have been implemented in the SS7 Level
2 state machines; however, there is currently no mechanism for detecting a
local processor outage as described above. For the purposes of conformance
testing, it is possible to simulate a local processor outage condition.
A.5.2 Major capabilities - MTP level 3
The supplier of the implementation shall state whether or not the
(signalling) procedures for the MTP level 3 as specified in ITU-T
Recommendations Q.701 and Q.704 as modified by ETS 300 008-1 [1] are
supported, in the tables below:

Comments:
Timer ranges, minimums and maximums are as proscribed. (Timers are not
implemented for 4.8 kbit/s operation as 4.8 kbit/s operation is not supported
at this time.)
Timers are only accurate to plus or minus 10 milliseconds. Timer
duration values can only be assigned with a precision of 10 milliseconds.
