CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC ISP 10608-1-99 (R2007)

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 ISP 10608-1:1992. 1 Scope This part of 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 standards, which 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 any type of subnetwork from which the standardized Connectionless-mode Network Service can be made available. Profiles of the Connection-mode Transport Service over Connectionless-mode Network Service are members of a single group, Group TA, and support a single transport class, i.e., Class 4.
