CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-8348-95
The international community has decided to make this standard available only in
the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of
Canada on this basis.
This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard
ISO/IEC 8348:1993.
1 Scope
This Recommendation / International Standard defines the OSI Network Service in
terms of
a) the primitive actions and events of the Service;
b) the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and
the form which they take;
c) the interrelationship between, and the valid sequences of, these
actions and events.
The principal objectives of this Recommendation / International Standard are
1) to specify the characteristics of a conceptual Network Service and
thus, supplement the Reference Model in guiding the development of
Network Layer protocols;
2) to encourage convergence of the capabilities offered by providers of
subnetworks;
3) to provide a basis for the individual enhancement of existing
heterogeneous subnetworks to a common subnetwork-independent
Network Service to enable them to be concatenated for the purpose of
providing global communication. (Such concatenation may involve
optional additional functions which are not defined in this
Recommendation / International Standard.) A definition of the
quality of service is an important element of this Recommendation /
International Standard;
4) to provide a basis for the development and implementation of
subnetwork-independent Transport Layer protocols decoupled from the
variability of underlying public and private subnetworks and their
specific interface requirements.
This Recommendation / International Standard does not specify individual
implementations or products nor does it constrain the implementation of
entities and interfaces within a system.
There is no conformance of equipment to this Recommendation / International
Standard. Instead, conformance is achieved through implementation of
conforming OSI Network protocols which fulfill the Network Service defined in
this Recommendation / International Standard.
