CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 8326:02 (R2010)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 8326:1996 (second edition, 1996-09-15). 1 Scope This Recommendation / International Standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the OS1 Session Layer in terms of: a) the primitive actions and events of the service; b) the parameter data associated with each primitive action and event; c) the relationship between, and the valid sequence of these actions and events. The service defined in this Recommendation / International Standard is that which is provided by the OS1 session protocol (in conjunction with the transport service) and which may be used by the OS1 presentation protocol. This Recommendation / International Standard does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it constrain the implementation of entities and interfaces within a computer system. There is, therefore, no conformance to this Recommendation - International Standard. The text pertaining to the symmetric synchronization functional unit is not applicable to the support of ITU-T applications.
