Implementing OSI systems

Abstract

The correct and efficient implementation of complete open systems interconnection systems comprising the specified multiple layers of complex protocols is discussed. Also examined are the specification, design, and implementation issues and approaches at two levels: the realization of the individual protocols; and the construction of complete multilayer communication systems. The design of a multilayer communication subsystem which can run on the same processor as the applications or be confined to a front-end processor is discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
