SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 is the Slovene adoption of ETSI EN 301 347 Version 6.7.1. It specifies the GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) across the Gn and Gp interface in GSM Phase 2+ networks, so it is the protocol document used by equipment that sends packet data through that interface.
What does SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 specifies how GTP is used across the Gn and Gp interface in the Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+) (GSM) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) environment. In practice, it tells implementers how the tunnelling protocol is laid out and how its data fields are encoded so different network elements can interoperate.
The front matter identifies the standard as identical to EN 301 347 Version 6.7.1. The scope note says it is updated to version 6.7.0 CRs from CN#7, which places it as a revision of the GTP Release 1997 specification.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003?
The document gives the protocol definition needed to build, parse and test GTP traffic across the Gn and Gp interface. Its most important practical content is the field and message layout, because that is what equipment must implement consistently to exchange packet data.
Protocol scope and interface use
SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 focuses on GTP across the Gn and Gp interface. That means the standard is about the transport and control structure of packet data tunnelling between network nodes, not about radio procedures or higher-layer application services.
Message and information element layouts
The main body contains tabular protocol definitions with bit and octet-oriented structures. These tables are what engineers use to code decoders, encoders and conformance tests, because they show how each GTP field is positioned and interpreted on the wire.
Address and PDP Type handling
The document includes definitions for PDP Type, including separate entries for IPv4 Address and IPv6 Address. The visible tables show that address length and type organization are part of the protocol data model, which matters when configuring or verifying packet data sessions that use different address families.
Control and exchange details
The protocol content also includes control-oriented elements such as response and selection-related handling, along with other message parameters shown in the tables. For implementers, this means GTP is not just a tunnel for user data - it also carries the control information needed to establish and maintain that tunnel correctly.
Interoperability focus
Because the standard defines the protocol across a named interface, its main value is interoperability. Vendors, network operators and test labs use it to make sure different GPRS network elements exchange the same GTP structures and behave consistently during packet data setup and transfer.
What terms does SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 define?
- GSM - Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+), the mobile system named in the title.
- GPRS - General Packet Radio Service, the packet data service addressed by the standard.
- GTP - GPRS Tunnelling Protocol, the protocol specified for the Gn and Gp interface.
- Gn - The interface named in the title on which GTP is carried.
- Gp - The interface named in the title on which GTP is carried.
- PDP Type - A protocol field used to identify the packet data protocol and its address form, including IPv4 and IPv6 entries shown in the document.
Who uses SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 is used by GSM/GPRS network engineers, protocol developers, equipment manufacturers, interoperability testers and laboratory staff. It is also relevant for quality managers and buyers who need to confirm that a product supports GTP on the Gn and Gp interface.
In practice, these users consult the standard when designing network nodes, implementing packet data tunnelling, checking message formats, or verifying that a device handles the required address and protocol fields.
What changed in SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 from the previous edition?
The scope states that this edition is updated to version 6.7.0 CRs from CN#7. That is the change information given for this revision.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003?
The title names GSM 09.60 version 6.7.1 Release 1997 as the source designation for the GTP specification, and the front matter states that this Slovene standard is identical to EN 301 347 Version 6.7.1. Those are the companion designations readers use to identify the same technical content in ETSI form.
What does the SIST EN 301 347 V6.7.1:2003 document contain?
The document contains protocol field tables, bit and octet layouts, and data definitions for GTP across the Gn and Gp interface. Visible tables include entries for IPv4 Address and IPv6 Address, together with PDP Type-related data, which are used when implementing or testing packet data tunnelling.
It also contains the structural information needed to encode and decode GTP messages. That is the part engineers use for software implementation, lab verification and interoperability checks.
