1 Scope
This International Standard specifies functions for using a packet network that uses the Intemet Protocol (IP)as its network layer protocol and UDP and TCP as its transport layer protocols, to interconnect two PrivateIntegrated services Network eXchanges (PINXs) forming part of a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN).Interconnection is achieved by carrying the inter-PINX signalling protocol directly over the TransmissionControl Protocol (TCP) and inter-PINX user information (e.g., voice) over the Real-time Transport Protocol(RTP),RTP being carried over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The inter-PINX signalling protocol isassumed to be QsIG, as specified in ISo/IEC 11572, ISO/IEC 11582 and other International Standards.
This International Standard provides for two types of interconnection:
on-demand, where a separate TCP connection for QsIlG is established at the start of each call andcleared down at the end of that call; and
semi-permanent,where a single TCP connection with an indefinite lifetime carries QsIG on behalf ofmany single calls.
This International Standard is applicable to PINXs that can be interconnected to form a PISN using QsIG asthe inter-PINX signalling protocol.
2 Conformance
ln order to conform to this International Standard,a PINX shall satisfy the requirements identified in thelmplementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proforma in Annex A.

6 Introduction
6.1 Reference configuration
ISO/IEC 11579-1 defines a reference configuration for a PINX. Logically the switching and call control functions of a PINX communicate over an instance of the Q reference point with a peer PINX. This communication is known as an Inter-PINX Link (IPL) and comprises a signalling channel, known as a D Q channel, and one or more user information channels, each known as a U Q -channel; see Figure 1. One or more IPLs can be established between the same pair of PINXs.
