C/C-ISO/IEC ISP 10608-6-99 (R2003)

1. Scope
 

1.1 General
ISO/IEC ISP 10608 is applicable to end systems concerned with operating in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) environment. It specifies a combination of OSI base standards that collectively provide the connection-mode Transport Service using the connectionless-mode Network Service.
 
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10608 is applicable to the provision of the connection-mode Transport Service in end systems attached to an FDDI LAN subnetwork from which the standardized connectionless-mode Network Service can be made available.
 
1.2 Position within the Taxonomy
 The taxonomy of OSI profiles is defined in ISO/IEC TR 10000-2. This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10608 defines the profile:
 
TA54: Connection-mode transport service over connectionless-mode network service over an FDDI LAN subnetwork.
 
1.3 Scenario
Figure 1 illustrates the end system configurations to which this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10608 is applicable.
 
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10608 specifies the required functions from the supporting protocol stack shown in figure 2.
