CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-8602-97 (R2010)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 8602:1995. 1 Scope This Recommendation | International Standard specifies a) procedures for the connectionless-mode transmission of data and protocol control information from one transport entity to one peer transport entity; b) the encoding of the transport-protocol-data-units used for the transmission of data and control information; c) procedures for the correct interpretation of transport protocol control information; and d) the functional requirements for implementations claiming conformance to this Recommendation | International Standard. The procedures are defined in terms of a) the interactions among peer transport entities through the exchange of transport-protocol-data-units; b) the interactions between a transport entity and a transport service user through the exchange of transport service primitives; and c) the interaction between a transport entity and a network service provider through the exchange of network service primitives. This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the connectionless-mode transport protocol and provides the PICS Proforma in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in accordance with the relevant guideline, given in CCITT Rec. X.291 | ISO/IEC 9646-2. The protocol for providing the connection-mode transport service is specified in ITU-T Rec. X.224 | ISO/IEc 8073.
