- Abstract
-
- This document specifies an ATM-based protocol for communication
- between ST2+ agents. The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports the matching
- of one hop in an ST2+ tree-structure stream with one ATM connection.
- In this document, ATM is a subnet technology for the ST2+ stream.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol is designed to achieve resource-
- reservation communications across ATM and non-ATM networks, to extend
- the UNI 3.1/4.0 signaling functions, and to reduce the UNI 4.0 LIJ
- signaling limitations.
-
- The specifications of the ST2+ over ATM protocol consist of a
- revision of RFC 1819 ST2+ and specifications of protocol interaction
- between ST2+ and ATM on the user plane, management plane, and control
- plane which correspond to the three planes of the B-ISDN protocol
- reference model.
-
- 1. Introduction
-
- 1.1 Purpose of Document
-
- The purpose of this document is to specify an ATM-based protocol for
- communication between ST2+ agents.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol is designed to support the matching of one
- hop in an ST2+ tree-structure stream with one ATM connection; it is
- not designed to support an entire ST2+ tree-structure stream with a
- point-to-multipoint ATM connection only.
-
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 1]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- Therefore, in this document, ATM is only a subnet technology for the
- ST2+ stream. This specification is designed to enable resource-
- reservation communications across ATM and non-ATM networks.
-
- 1.2 Features of ST2+ over ATM Protocol
-
- o Enables resource-reservation communications across ATM and non-ATM
- networks.
-
- ATM native API supports resource-reservation communications only
- within an ATM network; it cannot support interworking with non-ATM
- networks. This is because
-
- - ATM native API cannot connect terminals without an ATM interface.
-
- - ATM native API does not support IP addressing and SAP (port)
- addressing systems.
-
- o Extends UNI 3.1/4.0 signaling functions.
-
- ST2+ SCMP supports MTU-size negotiation at all hops in an ST2+
- tree-structure stream. UNI 3.1/4.0 supports only max CPCS_SDU
- (i.e., MTU) negotiation with the called party of a point-to-point
- call or with the first leaf of a point-to-multipoint call.
-
- o Reduces UNI 4.0 LIJ signaling limitations.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports UNI 4.0 LIJ Call Identifier
- notification from the root to the leaf by using an ST2+ SCMP
- extension. LIJ Call Identifier discovery at the leaf is one of the
- major unsolved problems of UNI 4.0, and the ST2+ over ATM protocol
- provides a solution.
-
- Note: The UNI 3.1 version of the ST2+ over ATM protocol does not
- support the above feature. It will be supported by the UNI 3.1/4.0
- version.
-
- 1.3 Goals and Non-goals of ST2+ over ATM Protocol
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol is designed to achieve the following
- goals.
-
- o Specify protocol interaction between ST2+ [4] and ATM on the ATM
- Forum Private UNI 3.1/4.0 (Sb point) [10, 11].
-
- Note: The UNI 3.1 version of the ST2+ over ATM protocol does not
- support UNI 4.0. It will be supported by the UNI 3.1/4.0 version.
-
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 2]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- o Support ST2+ stream across ATM and non-ATM networks.
-
- o Define one VC on the UNI corresponding to one ST2+ hop; this VC is
- not shared with other ST2+ hops, and also this ST2+ hop is not
- divided into multiple VCs.
-
- o Support both SVC and PVC.
-
- o Not require any ATM specification changes.
-
- o Coexist with RFC 1483 [16] IPv4 encapsulation.
-
- o Coexist with RFC 1577 [17] ATMarp.
-
- o Coexist with RFC 1755 [18] ATM signaling for IPv4.
-
- o Coexist with NHRP [19].
-
- Because ST2+ is independent of both routing and IP address resolution
- protocols, the ST2+ over ATM protocol does not specify the following
- protocols.
-
- o IP-ATM address resolution protocol
-
- o Routing protocol
-
- Because the ST2+ over ATM protocol is specified for the UNI, it is
- independent of:
-
- o NNI protocol
-
- o Router/switch architecture

- 2. Protocol Architecture
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol specifies the interaction between ST2+ and
- ATM on the user, management, and control planes, which correspond to
- the three planes in ITU-T Recommendation I.321 B-ISDN Protocol
- Reference Model [14].
-
- 2.1 User Plane Architecture
-
- The user plane specifies the rules for encapsulating the ST2+ Data
- PDU into the AAL5 [15] PDU. An user plane protocol stack is shown in
- Fig. 2.1.

-
- The ATM cell supports priority indication using the CLP field;
- indication is also supported by the ST2+ Data PDU by using the Pri
- field. It may be feasible to map these fields to each other. The
- ST2+ over ATM protocol specifies an optional function that maps the
- Pri field in the ST header to the CLP field in the ATM cell.
- However, implementors should note that current ATM standardization
- tends not to support tagging.

-
- 2.2 Management Plane Architecture
-
- The management plane specifies the Null FlowSpec, the Controlled-Load
- Service [5] FlowSpec, and the Guaranteed Service [6] FlowSpec mapping
- rules [8] for UNI 3.1 traffic management. A management plane
- protocol stack is shown in Fig. 2.3.

-
- Note: The UNI 3.1 version of the ST2+ over ATM protocol does not
- support Guaranteed Services. It will be supported by the UNI 3.1/4.0
- version.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol specifies the ST FlowSpec format for the
- Integrated Services. Basically, FlowSpec parameter negotiation,
- except for the MTU, is not supported. This is because, in the ST2+
- environment, negotiated FlowSpec parameters are not always unique to
- each target. The current ATM standard does not support heterogeneous
- QoS to receivers.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports FlowSpec changes by using the
- CHANGE message (RFC 1819, Section 4.6.5) if the I-bit in the CHANGE
- message is set to one and if the CHANGE message affects all targets
- in the stream. This is because the UNI 3.1 does not support QoS
- changes. The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports FlowSpec changes by
- releasing old ATM connections and establishing new ones.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not support stream preemption (RFC
- 1819, Section 6.3). This is because the Integrated Services FlowSpec
- does not support the concept of precedence.
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 6]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- It does not support the ST2+ FlowSpec (RFC 1819, Section 9.2). ST2+
- FlowSpec specifies useful services, but requires a datalink layer to
- support heterogeneous QoS to receivers. The current ATM standard
- does not support heterogeneous QoS to receivers.
-
- 2.3 Control Plane Architecture
-
- The control plane specifies the rules for encapsulating the ST2+ SCMP
- PDU into the AAL5 [15] PDU, the relationship between ST2+ SCMP and
- PVC management for ST2+ data, and the protocol interaction between
- ST2+ SCMP and UNI 3.1 signaling [10]. A control plane protocol stack
- is shown in Fig. 2.4.

-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not cover a VC (SVC/PVC) that
- transfers ST2+ SCMP. VCs for IPv4 transfer may be used for ST2+ SCMP
- transfer, and implementations may provide particular VCs for ST2+
- SCMP transfer. Selection of these VCs depends on the implementation.
-
- Implementors should note that when ST2+ data and SCMP belong to a
- stream, the routing directions on the ST2+ layer must be the same.
- Implementors should also note that ST2+ and IPv4 directions for
- routing to the same IP destination address are not always the same.

-
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports both SVC and PVC for ST2+ Data
- PDU transfer. If SVC is used, the ST2+ and ATM layers establish a
- connection sequentially by using respectively ST2+ SCMP and UNI 3.1
- signaling. An example of ST2+ SCMP and UNI 3.1 signaling message
- flows for establishing and releasing of ST2+ data connections is
- shown in Fig. 2.5, where (S) means an ST2+ entity and (Q) means a UNI
- 3.1 signaling entity.

- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- UNI 3.1/4.0 specifies PVC, point-to-point SVC, and point-to-
- multipoint SVC as VC styles. However, in actual ATM network
- environments, especially public ATM WANs, only PVC and bi-directional
- point-to-point SVC may be supported. To support the diverse VC
- styles, the ST2+ over ATM protocol supports the following VC styles
- for ST2+ Data PDU transfer.
-
- o PVC
-
- o Reuse of reverse channel of bi-directional point-to-point SVC that
- is used by existing stream.
-
- o Point-to-point SVC initiated from upstream side.
-
- o Point-to-multipoint SVC initiated from upstream side.
-
- o Point-to-point SVC initiated from downstream side.
-
- o Point-to-multipoint SVC initiated from downstream side (LIJ).
-
- Note: The UNI 3.1 version of the ST2+ over ATM protocol does not
- support LIJ. LIJ will be supported by the UNI 3.1/4.0 version.
-
- The second style is needed in environments supporting bi-directional
- point-to-point SVC only. The selection of PVC and SVC styles in the
- ST2+ agent is based on preconfigured implementation-dependent rules.
-
- SVC supports both upstream and downstream call initiation styles.
- Implementors should note that this is independent of the sender-
- oriented and receiver-oriented ST2+ stream-building process (RFC
- 1819, Section 4.1.1). This is because the ST2+ over ATM protocol
- specifies the process for establishing ST2+ data hops on the UNI, and
- because the ST2+ stream building process belongs to another layer.
- The SVC initiation side should be determined based on the operational
- and billing policies between ST2+ agents; this is basically
- independent of the sender-oriented and receiver-oriented ST2+
- stream-building process.

- 3. Revision of RFC 1819 ST2+
-
- To specify the ST2+ over ATM protocol, the functions in RFC 1819 ST2+
- must be extended to support ATM. However, it is difficult for the
- current ATM standard to support part of the specifications in RFC
- 1819 ST2+. This section specifies the extended, restricted,
- unsupported, and modified functions in RFC 1819 ST2+. Errata for RFC
- 1819 appears in Appendix A.
-
- 3.1 Extended Functions of RFC 1819 ST2+
-
- 3.1.1 ST FlowSpec for Controlled-Load Service
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol specifies the ST FlowSpec format for the
- Integrated Services. Basically, FlowSpec parameter negotiation,
- except for the MTU, is not supported. The ST2+ intermediate agent
- and the target decide whether to accept or refuse the FlowSpec
- parameters, except for the MTU. Therefore, each of the FlowSpec
- parameter values other than MTU is the same at each target in the
- stream.
-
- The format of the ST FlowSpec for the Controlled-Load Service is
- shown in Fig. 3.1.

- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- The PCode field identifies common SCMP elements. The PCode value
- for the ST2+ FlowSpec is 1.
-
- The PBytes field for the Controlled-Load Service is 36 bytes.
-
- The ST FS Ver (ST FlowSpec Version) field identifies the ST
- FlowSpec version. The ST FlowSpec version number for the
- Integrated Services is 8.
-
- The Ver (Message Format Version) field identifies the Integrated
- Services FlowSpec message format version. The current version is
- zero.
-
- The Overall Length field for the Controlled-Load Service is 7
- words.
-
- The SVC Number (Service ID Number) field identifies the Integrated
- Services. If the Integrated Services FlowSpec appears in the
- CONNECT or CHANGE message, the value of the SVC Number field is 1.
- If it appears in the ACCEPT, NOTIFY, or STATUS-RESPONSE message,
- the value of the SVC Number field is 5.
-
- The SVC Length (Service-specific Data Length) field for the
- Controlled-Load Service is 6 words.
-
- The Param Num (Parameter Number) field is 127.
-
- The Flags (Per-parameter Flags) field is zero.
-
- The Param Length (Length of Per-parameter Data) field is 5 words.
-
- Definitions of the Token Bucket Rate [r], the Token Bucket Size
- [b], the Peak Data Rate [p], the Minimum Policed Unit [m], and the
- Maximum Packet Size [M] fields are given in [5]. See section 5 of
- [5] for details.
-
- The ST2+ agent, that creates the FlowSpec element in the SCMP
- message, must assign valid values to all fields. The other agents
- must not modify any values in the element.
-
- The MaxMsgSize field in the CONNECT message is assigned by the origin
- or the intermediate agent acting as origin, and updated by each agent
- based on the MTU value of the datalink layer.
-
- The negotiated value of MaxMsgSize is set back to the origin or the
- intermediate agent acting as origin using the [M] field and the
- MaxMsgSize field in the ACCEPT message that corresponds to the
- CONNECT message.
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 12]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- In the original definition of the Controlled-Load Service, the value
- of the [m] field must be less than or equal to the value of the [M]
- field. However, in the ST FlowSpec for the Controlled-Load Service,
- if the value of the [m] field is more than that of the [M] field, the
- value of the [m] field is regarded as the same value as the [M]
- field, and must not generate an error. This is because there is a
- possibility that the value of the [M] field in the ACCEPT message may
- be decreased by negotiation.
-
- In the ST2+ SCMP messages, the value of the [M] field must be equal
- to or less than 65,535. In the ACCEPT message that responds to
- CONNECT, or the NOTIFY message that contains the FlowSpec field, the
- value of the [M] field must be equal to the MaxMsgSize field in the
- message. If these values are not the same, FlowSpec is regarded as
- an error.
-
- If the ST2+ agent receives the CONNECT message that contains
- unacceptable FlowSpec, the agent must generate a REFUSE message.
-
- 3.1.2 ST FlowSpec for Guaranteed Service
-
- Note: The UNI 3.1 version of the ST2+ over ATM protocol does not
- support Guaranteed Services. It will be supported by the UNI 3.1/4.0
- version.
-
- 3.1.3 VC-type common SCMP element
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol specifies an additional common SCMP
- element that designates the VC type used to support the diverse VC
- styles. The CONNECT and CHANGE messages that establish a hop with a
- VC must contain a VC-type common SCMP element. This element is valid
- between neighboring ST2+ agents, but must not propagate beyond the
- previous-hop or next-hop ST2+ agent.

-
- The PCode field identifies the common SCMP elements. The PCode
- value for the VC type is 8.
-
- The PBytes field for the VC type is 20 bytes.
-
- The VCType field identifies the VC type. The correspondence
- between the value in this field and the meaning is as follows:
-
- 0: ST2+ data stream uses a PVC.
-
- 1: ST2+ data stream uses the reverse channel of the bi-
- directional point-to-point SVC used by the existing stream.
-
- 2: ST2+ data stream is established by a point-to-point SVC
- initiated from the upstream side.
-
- 3: ST2+ data stream is established by a point-to-multipoint SVC

- The PVCIdentifer field identifies the PVC identifier uniquely
- assigned between neighboring ST2+ agents. This field is valid only
- when the VCType field is zero.
-
- The UniqueID and OriginIPAddress fields identify the reverse

-
- 3.1.4 Reason Code
-
- The extension of the Reason Code (RFC 1819, Section 10.5.3) to the
- ST2+ over ATM protocol is shown below.
-
- 57 CantChange Partial changes not supported.
- 58 NoRecover Stream recovery not supported.
-
- 3.2 Restricted Functions of RFC 1819 ST2+
-
- 3.2.1 FlowSpec changes
-
- In the following case, the ST2+ over ATM protocol supports stream
- FlowSpec changes by using the CHANGE message.
-
- o The I-bit is set to 1 and the G-bit is set to 1.
-
- In the following case, the CHANGE fails and a REFUSE message, with
- the E and N-bits set to 1 and the ReasonCode set to CantChange, is
- propagated upstream.
-
- o The I and/or G-bits are set to zero.
-
- 3.3 Unsupported Functions of RFC 1819 ST2+
-
- 3.3.1 ST2+ FlowSpec
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not support the ST2+ FlowSpec (RFC
- 1819, Section 9.2). The ST2+ FlowSpec specifies useful services, but
- requires the datalink layer to support heterogeneous QoS to
- receivers. The current ATM standard does not support heterogeneous
- QoS to receivers.
-

-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 15]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- 3.3.2 Stream preemption
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not support stream preemption (RFC
- 1819, Section 6.3). This is because the Integrated Services FlowSpec
- does not support the concept of precedence.
-
- 3.3.3 HELLO message
-
- Implementations may not support the HELLO message (RFC 1819, Section
- 10.4.7) and thus ST2+ agent failure detection using the HELLO message
- (RFC 1819, Section 6.1.2). This is because ATM has an adequate
- failure detection mechanism, and the HELLO message is not sufficient
- for detecting link failure in the ST2+ over ATM protocol, because the
- ST2+ data and the ST2+ SCMP are forwarded through another VC.
-
- 3.3.4 Stream recovery
-
- Implementors must select the NoRecover option of the CONNECT message
- (RFC 1819, Section 4.4.1) with the S-bit set to 1. This is because
- the descriptions of the stream recovery process in RFC 1819 (Sections
- 5.3.2, 6.2, and 6.2.1) are unclear and incomplete. It is thus
- possible that if a link failure occurs and several ST2+ agents detect
- it simultaneously, the recovery process may encounter problems.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not support stream recovery. If
- recovery is needed, the application should support it. A CONNECT
- message in which the NoRecover option is not selected will fail; a
- REFUSE message in which the N-bit is set to 1 and the ReaseonCode is
- set to NoRecover is then propagated upstream.
-
- 3.3.5 Subnet Resources Sharing
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not support subnet resources sharing
- (RFC 1819, Section 7.1.4). This is because ATM does not support the
- concept of the MAC layer.
-
- 3.3.6 IP encapsulation of ST
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not support IP encapsulation of ST
- (RFC 1819, Section 8.7), because there is no need to implement IP
- encapsulation in this protocol.
-
- 3.3.7 IP Multicasting
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not support IP multicasting (RFC
- 1819, Section 8.8), because this protocol does not support IP
- encapsulation of ST.

-
-
- 3.4 Modified Functions of RFC 1819 ST2+
-
- The ST2+ receiver-oriented stream creation procedure has some fatal
- problems: the value of the LnkReferecnce field in the CONNECT message
- that is a response to a JOIN message is not valid, ST2+ agent cannot
- update the LnkReference field in the JOIN-REJECT message, and ST2+
- agent cannot deliver the JOIN-REJECT message to the target because
- the JOIN-REJECT message does not contain a TargetList field. To
- solve these problems, the ST2+ over ATM protocol modifies the ST2+
- protocol processing rules.
-
- 3.4.1 Modifications of Message Processing Rules
-
- Modifications of the CONNECT, JOIN, and JOIN-REJECT message
- processing rules in the ST2+ over ATM protocol are described in the
- following.
-
- o The target that creates a JOIN message assigns the same value as in
- the Reference field to the LnkReference field.
-
- o The agent that creates a CONNECT message as a response to a JOIN
- message assigns the same value as in the LnkReference field in the
- JOIN message to the LnkReference field. In other cases, the value
- of the LnkReference field in a CONNECT message is zero.
-
- o The agent that creates a JOIN-REJECT message assigns the same value
- as in the LnkReference field in the JOIN message to the
- LnkReference field.
-
- o An intermediate agent must not modify the value of the LnkReference
- field in the CONNECT, JOIN, or JOIN-REJECT message. Note that this
- rule differs from the LnkReference field processing rule in the
- ACCEPT and REFUSE messages.

- delivered ST2+ data. The status is an optional parameter that
- indicates whether the delivered ST2+ data is corrupt or not.
-
- 4.2 Service Primitives Provided by AAL5
-
- 4.2.1 Requirements for AAL5
-
- The requirements for the AAL5 layer on the ST2+ over ATM user plane
- are as follows:
-
- o The SSCS must be null.
-
- o Implementations must use message-mode service.
-
- Note: Selection of the corrupted SDU delivery option on the
- receiver side depends on the implementation, so the receiver may or
- may not be able to select this option.
-
- 4.2.2 Overview of Interactions
-
- The AAL5 layer entity on the ST2+ over ATM user plane provides the
- following services to the ST2+ data layer.
-

-
-
- o AAL5_UNITDATA.req
-
- o AAL5_UNITDATA.ind
-
- 4.2.2.1 AAL5_UNITDATA.req
-
- The AAL5_UNITDATA.req primitive sends a request for an AAL5 data
- (AAL5 CPCS_SDU) transfer from the ST2+ data layer entity to the AAL5
- layer entity. The semantics of the primitive are as follows:
-

-
- 4.3.1 Mapping from st2_unitdata.req to AAL5_UNITDATA.req
-
- The ST2+ Data PDU is directly assigned to the DATA parameter in

- Fig. 4.1: Mapping of ST2+ data to AAL5 CPCS_PDU payload.
-
- The value of CPCS_LP in AAL5_UNITDATA.req depends on the

- assigned permanently, or they may be assigned depending on the value
- of pri in st2_unitdata.req.
-
- The value of the CPCS_UU indication field in AAL5_UNITDATA.req is set
- to zero.
-
- 4.3.2 Mapping from AAL5_UNITDATA.ind to st2p_unitdata.ind
-
- The DATA parameter in AL5_UNITDATA.ind is directly assigned to the
- ST2+ Data PDU. That is, the payload in AAL5 CPCS_PDU is mapped to
- the ST2+ Data PDU.
-
- If the value of STATUS in AAL5_UNITDATA.ind is valid, it is assigned
- to the status in st2p_unitdata.ind.
-
- 4.3.3 Value of MTU
-
- The value of MTU is Maximum CPCS_SDU size.
-
- 5. Protocol Specification of the Management Plane
-
- The management plane specifies the Null FlowSpec, the Controlled-Load
- Service FlowSpec, and the Guaranteed Service FlowSpec mapping rules
- for UNI 3.1 traffic management.
-
- 5.1 Mapping of the Null FlowSpec
-
- The Null FlowSpec is mapped to the UBR (VBR with the Best Effort
- Indicator).
-
- The value of the PCR (CLP=0+1) is shown in section 6.7.2.
-
-
-
-
-

-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- 5.2 Mapping of the Controlled-Load Service FlowSpec
-
- The Controlled-Load FlowSpec is mapped to the VBR whose PCR
- (CLP=0+1), SCR (CLP=0+1), and MBS (CLP=0+1) are specified.
-
- The value of the PCR (CLP=0+1) is shown in section 6.7.2.
-
- Let scr be the calculated value of the SCR (CLP=0+1). Based on the
- value of the [r] field in the Controlled-Load FlowSpec, it is given
- by:
- scr = ([r] / 48) * S,
-
- where S is the coefficient of segmentation, and in an implementation,
- it must be configurable to any value between 1.0 and 56.0. The
- recommended default value is 1.2. The value of the SCR (CLP=0+1) is
- a minimum integer equal to or more than the calculated value of the
- scr.
-
- Let mbs be the calculated value of the MBS (CLP=0+1). Based on the
- value of the [b] field in the Controlled-Load FlowSpec, it is given
- by:
- mbs = ([b] / 48) * S.
-
- The value of the MBS (CLP=0+1) is a minimum integer equal to or more
- than the calculated value of the mbs.
-
- The values of the [p] and [m] fields in the Controlled-Load FlowSpec
- are ignored.
-
- 5.3 Mapping of the Guaranteed Service FlowSpec
-
- Note: The UNI 3.1 version of the ST2+ over ATM protocol does not
- support Guaranteed Services. It will be supported by the UNI 3.1/4.0
- version.
-
- 6. Protocol Specification of the Control Plane
-
- This section specifies the rules for encapsulating the ST2+ SCMP PDU
- into the AAL5 PDU, the relationship between ST2+ SCMP and PVC
- management for ST2+ data, and the protocol interaction between ST2+
- SCMP and UNI 3.1 signaling.
-
- 6.1 AAL5 Encapsulation for ST2+ SCMP PDU
-
- This subsection describes AAL5 PDU encapsulation for the ST2+ SCMP
- PDU. ST2+ Data PDU compatible encapsulation, AAL5 encapsulation
- based on RFC 1483, and on the RFC 1483 extension are specified.
- Selection of which one to use depends on the implementation.
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 22]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol does not cover a VC (SVC/PVC) that
- transfers ST2+ SCMP. VCs for IPv4 transfer may be used for ST2+ SCMP
- transfer, and implementations may provide particular VCs for ST2+
- SCMP transfer. Selection of these VCs depends on the implementation.
-
- 6.1.1 ST2+ Data PDU compatible encapsulation
-
- The ST2+ Data PDU compatible encapsulation is shown in Fig. 6.1: the
- ST2+ SCMP PDU is mapped to the payload of AAL5 CPCS_PDU.
- Implementors should note that this encapsulation is not applicable
- when the ST2+ SCMP PDU is multiplexed with other protocols.

-
-
- The value of the LLC is 0xAA-AA-03, the value of the OUI is 0x00-00-
- 00, and the value of the PID is 0x08-00. The classification of the
- IPv4 and the ST2+ SCMP is determined by the IP version number, which
- is located in the first four bits of the IPv4 or ST headers.
-
- 6.1.3 RFC 1483 extension base encapsulation
-
- The RFC 1483 extension base encapsulation is the same as for RFC 1483
- base encapsulation, except that the value of the OUI is 0x00-00-5E
- (IANA) and the value of the PID is 0xXX-XX (TBD).
-
- The RFC 1483 base encapsulation for the SCMP is ideal, but requires
- modifying the IPv4 processing in the driver software of the WS or PC.
- Therefore, the RFC 1483 base encapsulation may be difficult to
- implement. This encapsulation is designed to solve this problem.
-
- 6.2 Service Primitives Provided by Control Plane
-
- RFC 1819 ST2+ does not specify SCMP state machines. And the ST2+
- over ATM protocol does not correspond to SCMP state machines.
- Therefore, the control plane specification assumes the following.
-
- o The ST2+ agent has ST2+ SCMP layer entities that correspond to the
- next hops and the previous hop in the stream.
-
- o The SCMP layer entity terminates ACK, ERROR, and timeout processing
- and provides reliable SCMP delivery.
-
- o The origin consists of an upper layer entity, ST2+ SCMP layer
- entities for next hops, and a routing machine that delivers SCMP
- messages between these entities.
-
- o The intermediate agent consists of ST2+ SCMP layer entities for a
- previous hop and for next hops and a routing machine that delivers
- SCMP messages between these entities.
-
- o The target consists of an upper layer entity, an ST2+ SCMP layer
- entity for a previous hop, and a routing machine that delivers SCMP
- messages between these entities.
-
- At least, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity for the next hop provides the
- following services to the routing machine.
-
- o connect.req
- This primitive sends a request for a CONNECT message transfer to
- the ST2+ SCMP layer entity.

- ST2+ SCMP layer entity.
-
- 6.3 Service Primitives Provided by UNI 3.1 Signaling
-
- The UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity on the ST2+ over ATM control plane
- provides the following services to the ST2+ SCMP layer entity. The
- ST2+ over ATM protocol does not specify the UNI 3.1 signaling state
-
-
-

- machines. These are defined in [10, 12, 13].
-
- o setup.req
- This primitive sends a request for a SETUP message transfer from
- the ST2+ SCMP layer entity to the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity.
- The ST2+ SCMP layer entity that sent this primitive receives an

- 3.1 signaling layer entity to the ST2+ SCMP layer entity.
-
- o setup.ind

- This primitive indicates a RELEASE COMPLETE message delivery, or
- indicates a RELEASE message delivery when the status of the UNI 3.1
- signaling layer entity is U11, or indicates detection of an
- abnormal status such as an illegal message or timeout in the UNI
- 3.1 signaling layer entity, from the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity

- acknowledgment that is a release.resp primitive. And this
- primitive also indicates detection of an abnormal status such as an

-
- SCMP layer entity that sent this primitive receives an
- acknowledgment that is a drop-party.resp primitive.
-
- o drop-party.resp
- This primitive sends a request for a DROP PARTY ACKNOWLEDGE message

-
- 6.4 VC Style Selection Criteria
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports PVC, the reverse channel of bi-
- directional SVC, point-to-point SVC, and point-to-multipoint SVC for
- ST2+ Data PDU transfer. And SVC supports both upstream and
- downstream call initiation styles.
-
- A 32-bit PVC identifier that is unique between neighboring ST2+
- agents is assigned to each PVC. And the reverse channel of the bi-
- directional point-to-point SVC used by the existing stream is
- identified by the SID of the stream that occupies the forward
- channel.
-
- When the ST2+ agent sets up a stream or changes QoS, the ST2+ agent
- must select one VC style from these SVC and PVC styles as a hop that
- is part of the stream. In the ST2+ over ATM protocol, VC style
- selection criteria depend on the implementation.
-
- This subsection describes examples of VC style selection criteria for
- the ST2+ over ATM protocol as a reference for implementors. Note
- that the following descriptions in this subsection are not part of
- the ST2+ over ATM protocol specification.
-
- 6.4.1 Examples of PVC selection criteria
-
- At least, the ST2+ agent may have to manage the following information
- for each PVC that can be used by ST2+ Data PDU transfer.
-
- o PVC identifier
-
- o ATM interface identifier in the ST2+ agent
-
- o VPI/VCI
-
- o State of VC: e.g. enabled or disabled, occupied or vacant
-
- o QoS of VC
-
- o Nexthop IP address
-
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 28]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- When a PVC is selected for a hop of a stream, at least confirmations,
- that is the state of the PVC is vacant and the next hop IP address
- and QoS are consistent with the requirements from the stream, may be
- needed.
-
- It is also feasible to introduce access lists to each PVC and to
- consider the access lists in the selection process. Examples of an
- access list are shown in the following.
-
- o Permit or deny use by a stream whose the previous hop is specified.
-
- o Permit or deny use by a stream whose the origin is specified.
-
- o Permit or deny use by a stream whose the SID is specified.
-
- o Permit or deny use by a stream whose the target is specified.
-
- o Permit or deny use by a stream whose the target and SAP are
- specified.
-
- o Any combination of the above.
-
- 6.4.2 Examples of reverse channel of bi-directional SVC selection
- criteria
-
- At least, the ST2+ agent may have to manage the following information
- for each reverse channel of bi-directional SVCs.
-
- o SID of the stream that occupies the forward channel
-
- o ATM interface identifier in the ST2+ agent
-
- o VPI/VCI
-
- o State of the reverse channel in the VC: e.g. enabled or disabled,
- occupied or vacant
-
- o QoS of VC
-
- o Nexthop IP address
-
- When a reverse channel of the bi-directional point-to-point SVC used
- by the existing stream is selected for a hop of a stream, at least
- confirmations, that is the state of the channel is vacant and the
- next hop IP address and QoS are consistent with the requirements from
- the stream, may be needed.
-
-
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 29]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- It is also feasible to introduce selection rules to the ST2+ agent.
- Examples of selection rule are shown in the following.
-
- o Permit reuse of the reverse channel by a stream whose the origin is
- one of targets in the stream that occupies the forward channel.
-
- o Permit reuse of the reverse channel by a stream whose one of
- targets is the origin in the stream that occupies the forward
- channel.
-
- o Permit reuse of the reverse channel by a stream whose the previous
- hop is one of the next hops in the stream that occupies the forward
- channel.
-
- o Any combination of the avobe.
-
- 6.4.3 Examples of SVC selection criteria
-
- When an SVC is used for a hop of a stream, at first, the ST2+ agent
- must select point-to-point or point-to-multipoint SVC. Examples of
- this selection rule are shown in the following.
-
- o If the network supports only point-to-point SVC, select it.
-
- o If the network supports point-to-multipoint SVC, select it.
-
- If point-to-point SVC is selected, the ST2+ agent must select
- upstream or downstream call initiation style. Examples of this
- selection rule are shown in the following.
-
- o A VC for a stream whose previous hop is specified is initiated from
- upstream or downstream.
-
- o A VC for a stream whose next hop is specified is initiated from
- upstream or downstream.
-
- o A VC for a stream whose origin is specified is initiated from
- upstream or downstream.
-
- o A VC for a stream whose SID is specified is initiated from upstream
- or downstream.
-
- o A VC for a stream whose target is specified is initiated from
- upstream or downstream.
-
- o A VC for a stream whose target and SAP are specified is initiated
- from upstream or downstream.

-
- 6.5 VC Management
-
- This subsection specifies VC management in the ST2+ over ATM
- protocol.
-
- 6.5.1 Outgoing call processing of SVC
-
- When outgoing call processing of the first leaf of a point-to-
- multipoint SVC or a point-to-point SVC is required inside the ST2+
- SCMP layer entity, a setup.req primitive is sent to the UNI 3.1
- signaling layer entity. If the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity
- responds with a setup.conf primitive, the call processing is assumed
- to have succeeded. If the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity responds
- with anything other than this primitive, the processing rule is the
- same as the SVC disconnect processing that is shown in section 6.5.4
- and the outgoing call processing is assumed to have failed.
-
- When outgoing call processing of a later leaf of a point-to-
- multipoint SVC is required, an add-party.req primitive is sent to the
- UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity. If the UNI 3.1 signaling layer
- entity responds with an add-party.conf primitive, the call processing
- is assumed to have succeeded. If the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity
- responds with anything other than this primitive, the processing rule
- is the same as the SVC disconnect processing that is shown in section
- 6.5.4 and the outgoing call processing is assumed to have failed.
-
- 6.5.2 Incoming call processing of SVC
-
- When an incoming call processing of SVC is required inside the ST2+
- SCMP layer entity, it sets a watchdog timer. The time interval of
- the timer depends on the implementation.
-
- The ST2+ SCMP layer entity waits for a setup.ind primitive indication
- from the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity. When this primitive is
- indicated and the parameters in it are acceptable, the ST2+ SCMP
- layer entity responds with a setup.resp primitive. If the parameters
- are not acceptable, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity stops the timer, and
- if the state of the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity is U6, the entity
- responds with a release.resp primitive, and if the state is other
- than this, the entity responds with a release.req primitive, and then
- waits for a release.conf primitive response and the incoming call
- processing is assumed to have failed.
-
- If the ST2+ SCMP layer entity responds with a setup.resp primitive,
- then the entity waits for the next primitive indication, and when the
- next primitive is indicated, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity stops the
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 31]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- timer. If a setup-complete.ind primitive is indicated, the incoming
- call processing is assumed to have succeeded. If the UNI 3.1
- signaling layer entity responds with anything other than this
- primitive or if the timer expires, the processing rule is the same as
- the SVC disconnect processing that is shown in section 6.5.4 and the
- incoming call processing is assumed to have failed.
-
- 6.5.3 VC release processing inside ST2+ SCMP layer
-
- When a VC release is required inside an ST2+ SCMP layer entity, if
- the previous hop or next hop is connected with a PVC, the PVC state
- is set to vacant and the VC release processing is assumed to be
- completed.
-
- If the previous hop or next hop is connected with a point-to-point
- SVC whose reverse channel is occupied, the state of the channel in
- the VC is set to vacant, the SID information of the VC is updated,
- and the VC release processing is assumed to be completed.
-
- If the previous hop or next hop is connected with a point-to-point
- SVC whose reverse channel is vacant, if the previous hop is connected
- with a point-to-multipoint SVC, or if the next hop is connected with
- a point-to-multipoint SVC and the number of leaves is 1, then the
- ST2+ SCMP layer entity sends a release.req primitive to the UNI 3.1
- signaling layer entity, then waits for a release.conf primitive
- indication; when one is indicated, the VC release processing is
- assumed to be completed.
-
- If the next hop is connected with a point-to-multipoint SVC and the
- number of leaves is other than 1, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity sends a
- drop-party.req primitive to the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity, then
- waits for a drop-party.conf primitive indication; when one is
- indicated, the VC release processing is assumed to be completed.
-
- 6.5.4 VC disconnect processing from UNI 3.1 signaling layer
-
- If an ST2+ SCMP layer entity corresponds to a UNI 3.1 signaling layer
- entity, and if the ST2+ SCMP layer entity is sent a release.ind
- primitive from the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity, whose cause is a
- delivery of a RELEASE message, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity responds
- with a release.resp primitive, and then the VC disconnect processing
- is assumed to be completed. If the ST2+ SCMP layer entity is sent a
- release.ind primitive, whose cause is other than the previous case,
- the ST2+ SCMP layer entity waits for a release.conf primitive
- response. When a release.conf primitive is indicated, the VC
- disconnect processing is assumed to be completed.
-
-
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 32]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- Note that if next hops from ST2+ SCMP layer entities are connected
- with a point-to-multipoint SVC, the ST2+ SCMP layer entities to next
- hops correspond to a UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity. In this case,
- if the ST2+ SCMP layer entities are sent release.ind primitives from
- the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity, whose cause is the delivery of a
- RELEASE message, one of the ST2+ SCMP layer entities responds with a
- release.resp primitive, and then the VC disconnect processing in the
- entities that are sent release.ind primitives are assumed to be
- completed. If the ST2+ SCMP layer entities are sent release.ind
- primitives, whose cause is other than the previous case, the ST2+
- SCMP layer entities wait for release.conf primitives responses. When
- release.conf primitives are indicated, the VC disconnect processing
- in the entities that are indicated release.ind primitives are assumed
- to be completed.
-
- If the ST2+ SCMP layer entity is sent a drop-party.ind primitive from
- the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- responds with a drop-party.resp primitive, and then the VC disconnect
- processing is assumed to be completed. If the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- is sent a drop-party.conf primitive, the VC disconnect processing is
- assumed to be completed.
-
- 6.6 Additional SCMP Processing Rules
-
- This subsection specifies the additional SCMP processing rules that
- are defined in RFC 1819 ST2+ protocol specification. The following
- additional rules are applied when the previous hop or next hop is
- connected with an ATM connection in the ST2+ SCMP layer entity.
-
- 6.6.1 Additional connect.req processing rules
-
- When a connect.req primitive is sent to the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- for the next hop, the entity confirms whether or not the VC for the
- next hop exists.
-
- If it does, the entity forwards a CONNECT message that does not
- include a VC-type common SCMP element to the next hop.
-
- If it does not, the entity selects a VC style. If the result is a
- PVC or a reverse channel of a bi-directional point-to-point SVC used
- by an existing stream, the VC state is set to occupied. The entity
- forwards a CONNECT message with a VC-type common SCMP element that
- reflects the result of the selection to the next hop.
-
- 6.6.2 Additional connect.ind processing rules
-
- The ST2+ SCMP layer entity for the previous hop confirms whether or
- not the CONNECT message includes a VC-type common SCMP element.
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 33]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- If a VC-type common SCMP element is not included and the VC for the
- next hop exists, a connect.ind primitive is sent to the routing
- machine. If the VC for the next hop does not exist, a REFUSE message
- is forwarded to the previous hop.
-
- If a VC-type common SCMP element is included and a point-to-point
- SVC, whose calling party is the upstream or downstream, or a point-
- to-multipoint SVC is specified, a connect.ind primitive is sent to
- the routing machine. If a PVC or a reverse channel of a bi-
- directional point-to-point SVC used by an existing stream is
- specified and the specified VC exists, the VC state is set to
- occupied and a connect.ind primitive is sent to the routing machine.
- Otherwise, a REFUSE message is forwarded to the previous hop.
-
- 6.6.3 Additional change.req processing rules
-
- When a change.req primitive is sent to the ST2+ SCMP layer entity for
- the next hop, the entity releases the VC whose process is shown in
- section 6.5.3.
-
- Then, the entity selects a VC style. If the result is a PVC or a
- reverse channel of a bi-directional point-to-point SVC used by an
- existing stream, the VC state is set to occupied. The entity
- forwards a CHANGE message with a VC-type common SCMP element that
- reflects the result of the selection to the next hop.
-
- 6.6.4 Additional change.ind processing rules
-
- The ST2+ SCMP layer entity for the previous hop confirms whether the
- CHANGE message includes a VC-type common SCMP element. If a VC-type
- common SCMP element is not included, a REFUSE message is forwarded to
- the previous hop.
-
- If a VC-type common SCMP element is included, the entity releases the
- VC whose process is shown in section 6.5.3. If the element specifies
- a point-to-point SVC, whose calling party is the upstream or
- downstream, or a point-to-multipoint SVC, a change.ind primitive is
- sent to the routing machine. If a PVC or a reverse channel of a bi-
- directional point-to-point SVC used by an existing stream is
- specified and the specified VC exists, the VC state is set to
- occupied and a change.ind primitive is sent to the routing machine.
- Otherwise, a REFUSE message is forwarded to the previous hop.
-
- 6.6.5 Additional accept.req processing rules
-
- When an accept.req primitive is sent to the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- for the previous hop, the entity confirms the state of the UNI 3.1
- signaling layer entity. If the state of the entity is other than U0
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 34]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- or U10, the accept.req primitive is queued and is processed after the
- state changes to U0 or U10.
-
- If the state of the entity is U0 or U10, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- confirms whether or not the VC for the previous hop exists. If it
- does, an ACCEPT message is forwarded to the previous hop.
-
- If it does not and the CONNECT or CHANGE message that corresponds to
- the accept.req primitive specified a point-to-point SVC whose calling
- party is the upstream or a point-to-multipoint SVC, then the entity
- processes an incoming call that is shown in section 6.5.2. If the
- incoming call processing succeeds, an ACCEPT message is forwarded to
- the previous hop. If the CONNECT or CHANGE message that corresponds
- to the accept.req primitive specified a point-to-point SVC whose
- calling party is downstream, the entity converts from the IP address
- of the previous hop to the ATM address, and then the entity processes
- an outgoing call that is shown in section 6.5.1. If the outgoing
- call processing succeeds, an ACCEPT message is forwarded to the
- previous hop. For cases other than those described above or if the
- incoming or outgoing call processing fails, a REFUSE message is
- forwarded to the previous hop and a disconnect.ind primitive is sent
- to the routing machine.
-
- 6.6.6 Additional accept.ind processing rules
-
- When an ACCEPT message is processed in the ST2+ SCMP layer entity for
- the next hop, the entity confirms the state of the UNI 3.1 signaling
- layer entity. If the state of the entity is other than U0 or U10,
- the ACCEPT message is queued and is processed after the state changes
- to U0 or U10.
-
- If the state of the entity is U0 or U10, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- confirms whether or not the VC for the next hop exists. If it does,
- an accept.ind primitive is sent to the routing machine.
-
- If it does not and the CONNECT or CHANGE message that corresponds to
- the ACCEPT message specified a point-to-point SVC whose calling party
- is the upstream or a point-to-multipoint SVC, then the entity
- converts from the IP address of the next hop to the ATM address, and
- then the entity processes an outgoing call that is shown in section
- 6.5.1. If the outgoing call processing succeeds, an accept.ind
- primitive is sent to the routing machine. If the CONNECT or CHANGE
- message that corresponds to the ACCEPT message specified a point-to-
- point SVC whose calling party is downstream, the entity processes an
- incoming call that is shown in section 6.5.2. If the incoming call
- processing succeeds, an accept.ind primitive is sent to the routing
- machine. For cases other than those described above or if the
- incoming or outgoing call processing fails, a refuse.ind primitive is
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 35]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- sent to the routing machine and a DISCONNECT message is forwarded to
- the next hop.
-
- 6.6.7 Additional disconnect.req processing rules
-
- At first, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity for the next hop forwards a
- DISCONNECT message to the next hop.
-
- And then, after the disconnect.req processing, if there are no more
- targets that are connected downstream of the entity and the entity is
- not waiting for an ACCEPT or REFUSE message response from targets,
- the entity releases the VC whose process is shown in section 6.5.3.
-
- 6.6.8 Additional disconnect.ind processing rules
-
- AT first, after the disconnect.ind processing, if there are no more
- targets that are connected downstream of the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- for the previous hop and the entity is not waiting for an ACCEPT or
- REFUSE message response from targets, the entity releases the VC
- whose process is shown in section 6.5.3.
-
- And then, the entity sends a disconnect.ind primitive to the routing
- machine.
-
- 6.6.9 Additional refuse.req processing rules
-
- At first, the ST2+ SCMP layer entity for the previous hop forwards a
- REFUSE message to the previous hop.
-
- And then, after the refuse.req processing, if there are no more
- targets that are connected downstream of the entity and the entity is
- not waiting for an ACCEPT or REFUSE message response from targets,
- the entity releases the VC whose process is shown in section 6.5.3.
-
- 6.6.10 Additional refuse.ind processing rules
-
- At first, after the refuse.ind processing, if there are no more
- targets that are connected downstream of the ST2+ SCMP layer entity
- for the next hop and the entity is not waiting for an ACCEPT or
- REFUSE message response from targets, the entity releases the VC
- whose process is shown in section 6.5.3.
-
- And then, the entity sends a refuse.ind primitive to the routing
- machine.

-
-
- 6.6.11 SVC disconnect processing
-
- When the ST2+ SCMP layer entity for the previous hop is sent a SVC
- disconnect processing from the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity and
- then the SVC disconnect processing is completed, the entity forwards
- a REFUSE message to the previous hop and sends a disconnect.ind
- primitive to the routing machine.
-
- When the ST2+ SCMP layer entity for the next hop is sent a SVC
- disconnect processing from the UNI 3.1 signaling layer entity and
- then the SVC disconnect processing is completed, the entity sends a
- refuse.ind primitive to the routing machine and forwards a DISCONNECT
- message to the previous hop.
-

- rules for the fields are as follows.
-
- o The AAL Type is set to AAL5.

-
- o If the VC is established as a point-to-point call, the value of the

- in section 5.
-
- o If the VC is established as a point-to-point call, the value of the

- MBS (CLP=0+1) field. If the VC is established as a point-to-
- multipoint call, this field must not be present.
-
- o The Best effort indication, Tagging backward, and Tagging forward

-
- 6.7.3 Broadband bearer capability coding
-
- If the Null FlowSpec is specified in the ST2+ over ATM protocol, the
- coding rules for the fields in the Broadband bearer capability
- information element in the SETUP message are as follows.
-
- o The Bearer class depends on the specification of the ATM network.
- The Bearer class in each ATM interface in an implementation must be
- configurable as either BCOB-X or BCOB-C. BCOB-X is recommended as

- VC is established as a point-to-multipoint call, it is set to
- point-to-multipoint.
-
- 6.7.4 Broadband high layer information coding
-
- The SETUP and ADD PARTY messages in the ST2+ over ATM protocol must
- include a Broadband high layer information information element. The
- coding rules for the fields are as follows.
-
- o The High layer information type is set to User specific.
-
- o The first 6 bytes in the High layer information field are set to
- the SID of the stream corresponding to the VC.

-
- 6.7.5 Broadband low layer information coding
-
- The SETUP and ADD PARTY messages in the ST2+ over ATM protocol must
- include a Broadband low layer information information element. The
- CONNECT message may or may not include this element. The coding
- rules for the fields are as follows.
-
- o The User information layer 3 protocol field is set to ISO/IEC TR
- 9577.
-
- o The IPI field is set to IEEE 802.1 SNAP (0x80).
-
- o The OUI field is set to IANA (0x00-00-5E).
-
- o The PID field is set to ST2+ (TBD).
-
- 6.7.6 QoS parameter coding
-
- If the Null FlowSpec is specified in the ST2+ over ATM protocol, the
- coding rules for the fields in the QoS parameter in the SETUP message
- are as follows.
-
- o The QoS class forward and QoS class backward fields are set to QoS
- class 0.
-
- If the Controlled-Load Service FlowSpec is specified, the coding
- rules for the fields are as follows.
-
- o The QoS class forward and QoS class backward fields depend on the
- specification of the ATM network. The QoS class forward and QoS
- class backward fields in each ATM interface in an implementation
- must be configurable as either QoS class 0 or QoS class 3. QoS
- class 0 is recommended as the default configuration.
-
- 7. Security Considerations
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol modifies RFC 1819 ST2+ protocol, but
- basically these modifications are minimum extensions for ATM support
- and bug fixes, so they do not weaken the security of the ST2+
- protocol.
-
- The ST2+ over ATM protocol specifies protocol interaction between
- ST2+ and UNI 3.1, and this does not weaken the security of the UNI
- 3.1 protocol.
-
- In an ST2+ agent that processes an incoming call of SVC, if the
- incoming SETUP message contains the calling party number and if it is
- verified and passed by the ATM network or it is provided by the
-
-
-
- Suzuki Informational [Page 41]
-
- RFC 2383 ST2+ over ATM August 1998
-
-
- network, then it is feasible to use the calling party number for part
- of the calling party authentication to strengthen security.
