HP OSI Transport Services/9000 HP OSI Transport Services/900
Technical Data (OTS/9000) networking softwar
provides the Transport, Sessi
Presentation, and ACSE layers
Product Numbers the OSI reference model. OTS/
32069A, J2160A, 32070A also provides OSI network lay
services over the X.25/9000 o
LAN/9000 Link. These layers
supply the necessary foundati
to run OSI services, such as
FTAM, X.500 and X.400.
These OSI products operate in
both a local area and wide ar
network environment. By
supporting international
standards specified by the
International Standards
Organization (ISO) and the
International Telegraph and
Telephone Consultative Commit
(CCITT), HP's OSI products wi
operate in a multivendor
environment. HP's OSI product
conform to the OSI standards
shown in Figure 1.
Features
Features include:
* Support of a broad range of
GOSIPs worldwide (see Figure
for supported profiles)
* First OSI stack placed on t
US GOSIP register of conforma
systems
* Support of the OSI and TCP/
protocols simultaneously, ove
the same interface card
* Support of the ES-IS protoc
* Ability to act as an Active
Transport Layer Relay (MSDSG)
* Complete OSI node
administration through the to
Osiadmin; conf
ation data can also be access
through ASCII files
* Application interface to th
ISO Session layer
* APRI, an application interf
to the ISO ACSE, Presentation
and ROSE layers, based on
emerging standard interface
* XTI, the X/Open standard
application interface to the
Transport layer
ACSE/Presentation and ROSE Interface
OTS/9000 includes APRI which provides a programmatic interface
(API) in C. This interface is based on the UNIX∙ International OSI
ACSE/Presentation Library specification, Version 1.0.0 dated
October, 1990. The emerging X/Open interface at these layers is
derived from this specification, but was not finalized at the time
of product release. Through this interface, you can establish
associations (connections) with another application process, send
and receive data, and release or abort associations. This API also
allows users to negotiate the association release. The ROSE
services may be used in conjunction with the ACSE/Presentation
services to perform ROSE request/reply operations.
Session Interface
OTS/9000 includes an application programmatic interface to the ISO
Session layer. This API is a library of function calls providing
developers open access to session services and the ability to
develop applications with session layer peer-to-peer communication.
The session API provides connection management for connection
establishment, orderly release and aborts, and data transfer
management for the exchange of normal and expedited data. This API
also provides access to other session services such as token
management, session synchronization, activity management,
capability data, and exception reporting.
X/Open Transport Interface
OTS/9000 also includes XTI, an API offering open access to the
connection oriented transport services. HP's XTI has been developed
specifically for OSI and complies with a subset of the X/Open
Portability Guide, Version 3 (XPG3). XTI is implemented as a C
library and enables processes on the same or different computers to
communicate through the use of programmatic calls.
Coexistence
The X.25/9000 and LAN/9000 link products provide simultaneous
support for both TCP/IP and OSI standards.
Training
Optional PC-compatible Computer-Based-Training covering
installation, configuration, verification, and troubleshooting is
offered with OTS/9000. The course contains general OSI information
including network administration, system administration, network
architecture and addressing considerations, OTS/9000 specific
capabilities, and a complete example of configuring an OSI network.
The course also introduces the student to support tools such as
osidiag and tracing/logging as well as APIs such as XTI, Session,
and APRI.
Functional Description
OSI ROSE and ACSE Services
Multi-System Distributed System Gateway (MSDSG)
MSDSG addresses the issue of interworking between Connection
Oriented (CONS) and Connectionless (CLNS) systems. The
functionality is described in ISO Technical Report 10172 and is
referred to as an Active Transport Layer Relay (ATLR). OTS/9000
provides the ATLR functionality, so that systems on CONS networks
may communicate at the Transport layer and above with systems on
CLNS networks, using the OTS/9000 node as a relay.
OSI Network Layer
The Network layer corresponds to layer 3 of the OSI Reference
Model. Both the 1980 and 1984 X.25 addressing schemes are
supported. 1984 NSAP addressing is supported over X.25 by taking
advantage of the extended addressing facilities. Internet options
include null subset, nonsegmenting subset, full subset accepting
null subsets, and full subset (discarding other subsets).
Product Requirements
HP OSI products are customer installable. OTS/9000 includes the
software and manuals necessary to install, configure, use, and
troubleshoot the product. X.25/9000 and/or the LAN/9000 Link is
required. Concurrent purchase of HP MMS/9000 (PN:32018A or
32019A), HP FTAM/9000 (PN:B1032A or B1033A), and/or HP X.400/9000
(PN:32031A or 32032A) is optional. If updating from OTS/9000
Version C.02.00 or earlier, the services, FTAM, X.400, and MMS must
be updated as well.
