Design and Implementation of NNI Interworking Protocol of OBP Satellite B-ISDN

It is essential to develop the internetworking strategies between the OBP satellite B-ISDN and the terrestrial B-ISDN for the economical and efficient implementation of the future network infrastructure. We have considered the implementation issues of the emerging B-ISDN, especially interworking strategies of the terrestrial B-ISDN with the OBP satellite B-ISBN. We proposed interworking model between terrestrial B-ISDN and OBP satellite B-ISDN NNI signaling protocol, and describes the design and verification of the interworking protocol. For the verification, interworking protocol is modeled by Predicate/Action Net derived from Petri Net and the designed model is analyzed by reachability tree. Using Unix socket, the verified interworking protocol is implemented in two workstations and implemented interworking protocol is tested by local test method which is outstanding in error detection and recommended by ISO.
