(ATM) transport functionality within equipment, as identified below:
Part 1: "Functional characteristics and equipment performance";

1 Scope
The purpose of the present document is to provide specifications for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) equipment to
be used in the ETSI region. Such specifications will ensure compatibility between equipment by identifying which
functions are mandatory for interworking and which can be considered as truly optional. Of course it is not the intention
to prevent manufacturers or procurers from following an alternative specification, but the consequences should become
clear from the present document.
The document will be in two parts, producing a list of functions and processes in the first part and a formal
representation of transfer transport and layer management functions in the second part. The specification will take
advantage of the work done in ITU but will take the work further with an ETSI European view. This means: the
identification of ITU options to be mandatory in Europe, deletion of options not required for Europe, creation of new or
revised descriptions where necessary, identification of guideline or benchmark performance parameters for classes of
equipment.

3.4 Introduction
The atomic functions used in the Transmission Path (TP) convergence, ATM Virtual Path (VP) and Virtual Channel
(VC) Layer Networks and their associated Adaptation functions are defined in the present document.
The document is structured in the following manner:
• Transmission Path to Avp Adaptation Functions:
- SDH Adaptation Functions;
- Cell Based Adaptation Functions;
- PDH Adaptation Function.
• VP Layer Network, including Connection, Trail Termination, Segment, Traffic Management, Monitoring and
Loopback Functions;
• Avp to Avc Adaptation Functions;
• VC Layer Network, including Connection, Trail Termination, Segment, Traffic Management, Monitoring and
Loopback Functions;
• Avc to ATM Client Layer Adaptation Functions.
The Layer Networks and Adaptation functions are defined for the purpose of the user to group them into a higher level
grouping, if required. The decomposition of the atomic function sequence into Layer Networks and Adaptation functions
correspond to the view of ITU-T Recommendation G.805 [13]. It also represents the common basis view from the
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and ATM history perspective, since ITU-T Recommendation G.803 [11]
(defining SDH networks) as well as ITU-T Recommendation I.326 [17] (defining ATM networks) are both based on
ITU-T Recommendation G.805 [13].
For the SDH view, the grouping used in ITU-T Recommendation G.803 [11] is the Network Layer (or simply called
Layer). It associates the Layer Network and the Adaptation function in Client Layer direction into the grouping called
"Network Layer".
For the ATM view, the grouping used in ITU-T Recommendation I.326 [17] is the Transport Assembly, also called VP
Level resp. VC Level. It associates the Layer Network and the Adaptation function in Server direction into the grouping
called respectively "VP Level" and "VC Level".

The S3/Avp_A_So function provides adaptation from the ATM Virtual Path to the VC-3 path. This is performed by a
grouping of Specific Processes and Common Processes as shown in figure 3.
Activation: The function shall access the access point when it is activated (MI_Active is true). Otherwise, it shall not
access the access point.

NOTE 1: The sequential order of the processes within the atomic functions is important. For the correct order, refer
to the ordering of the processes given below.
Specific Processes:
These Processes include VPI setting as well as VP asynchronous multiplexing. Each of these Specific Processes is
N
characterized by the Virtual Path Identifier number K, where 0 £ K £ 2 - 1.
VPI-K Activation: The Specific Processes perform the operation specified below when it is activated (MI_VPI-KActive
is true).

VPI setting is based on the activation of the Specific function by MI_VPI-KActive and inserts the value of "K" as VPI.
NOTE 2: The value of N represents the number of bits in the VPI field and is an integer number. Its maximum value
is equal to 12 for the ATM NNI. Its maximum value is equal to 8 for the ATM UNI.
VP multiplexing: Asynchronous multiplexing is performed for each active Specific function.

Common Processes:
The Common Processes include: Congestion control (selective cell discard (CLP based)), GFC processing, TP usage
measurement, cell rate decoupling, HEC processing, cell information field scrambling, cell stream mapping and
processing of the payload specific bytes C2 and H4, as well as bits 6 and 7 of G1, to the VC-3 Path OverHead (POH).
The logical ordering of the processes from input to output shall be maintained.
