PNNI 1.0 Interoperability Test Suites

Part Number 803524 - Interoperability across PNNI for Point-to-Point

The Telcordia® PNNI/UNI 4.0 Signaling Interworking Test Suite for Point-to-Point Connections Conformance Test Suite verifies the interoperability across PNNI for point-to-point calls for network side equipment, such as ATM NIC cards, that implement ATM Forum PNNI 1.0 signaling requirements for point-to-point connectivity. This test suite is based on ATM Forum's PNNI1.0 Signaling requirements and UNI Signaling Specification 4.0. The test suite consists of the following conformance test groups:

  • General - this test group address the basic signaling procedures to verify the Implementation Under Test (IUT)'s capability to support valid call/connection control procedures for point-to-point connections, which include all valid combination of Bearer Class, Traffic Parameters and Quality of Service (QoS). All valid combinations of supported optional information element. Call/connection clearing procedure. These specifications are covered under the following sub-groups:
    • Basic Setup - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for receiving a SETUP message containing a combination of traffic parameters.
    • Setup Optional IE - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for handling a message from and toward the succeeding side with optional information elements.
    • Call Completion - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for call establishment with different Broadband Bearer class.
    • Clearing - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for call/connection clearing under various conditions.
  • Error - this test group covers procedures to verify IUT's capability to handle error conditions including error conditions for mandatory and non-mandatory information elements. This test group consists for the following sub-groups:
    • Message Sequence Error - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for handling an unexpected (out of sequence) message.
    • Unrecognized Message Error - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for handling an unrecognized message.
    • Message Length Error - these test cases verify the functionality for handling a message length error.
    • Non-Mandatory Information Element (IE) Error - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for handling messages that address the issues of messages containing unrecognized IEs, error in the contents of a non-mandatory IE, non-mandatory IE with length error and a message with unexpected recognized IE.
    • Status Message Inquiry - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for status inquiry procedures.
  • UNI 4.0 Procedure - this test group verifies the IUT's functionalities for the following ATM Forum UNI 4.0 specific procedures as defined in UNI 4.0 specification:
    • Traffic Negotiation - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for traffic negotiation.
    • Individual QoS - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for signaling individual QoS parameter procedures.
    • VPCI/VCI Selection - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for VPCI/VCI selection procedures.

Part Number 803525 - Interoperability across Point-to-Multipoint Connections

The Telcordia® PNNI Signaling Interworking Test Suite for Point-to-Multipoint Connections Conformance Test Suite verifies the interoperability across PNNI for point-to-multipoint calls for network side equipment, such as ATM NIC cards, that implement ATM Forum PNNI 1.0 signaling requirements for point-to-multipoint connectivity. This test suite is based on ATM Forum's PNNI1.0 Signaling requirements and UNI Signaling Specification 4.0. The test suite consists of the following conformance test groups:

    • Message Length Error - these test cases verify the functionality for handling a message length error.
    • General IE - Repeat Information Element - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for handling repetition of general information elements (IEs).
    • Non-Mandatory Information Element (IE) Error - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for handling messages that address the issues of messages containing unrecognized IEs.
    • Status Message Inquiry - these test cases verify the IUT's functionality for status inquiry procedures.
  • UNI 4.0 Procedure - this test group verifies the IUT's functionalities for the following ATM Forum UNI 4.0 specific procedures as defined in UNI 4.0 specification:
